Kawasaki H2 SE/SX Vandemon Titanium Exhaust System 2018-19
With the legendary release of the H2/H2R in 2015, Vandemon chose not to re-invent the wheel but replicate as close to perfect the same beautiful Titanium Exhaust adorned on the race version H2R.
Now with the addition of the SE/SX to the H2 family, a new approach was required which would compliment Kawasaki's new hyper tourer, so we set about creating another titanium masterpiece which would complement the latest addition to the H2 range.
Headers had to be re-designed entirely to accommodate round exhaust ports, and the challenge was to use tighter radius bends to squeeze the headers into the bodywork so to achieve much-needed clearance from fairings. The muffler also required a whole new approach compared to the H2R slash cut style muffler, due to the panniers proximity to exhaust gases. So we set about designing a muffler that would direct the exiting gases away from the pannier as well as offer a moderate increase in sound over the OEM exhaust'' and look great with bags on or off! And we think we came up with something extraordinary, an exhaust that significantly reduces weight, enhances the sound and appearance and importantly performance.

Tuning
There is no requirement to tune the engine to suit, but for best results, we recommended re-fueling as this model is lean from Kawasaki in OEM form. The power valve and catalytic converter are eliminated to accommodate this system also, so please check with your countries laws & regulations regarding removal of these systems before choosing this product.
VANDEMON EXHAUST SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE AND MODEST SOUND IMPROVEMENTS. WE AT VANDEMON DO NOT TRY TO MEET NOISE EMISSION STANDARDS BECAUSE SIMPLY THE END RESULTS WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOUR OEM EXHAUST CAN ALREADY ACHIEVE
Our exhausts are professionally packaged to prevent damage in transit and arrive in a natural brushed finish that transforms to an iridescent blue, purple & gold color beginning at the engine headers after only one heat cycle.
WHY BUY A TITANIUM EXHAUST?
Due to its strength, weight and corrosion quality’s Titanium is found in the most demanding applications on Aircraft air frames, jet engine compressor blades and ducting, deep sea salt water vessels, steam turbine blades, rocket motor cases and F1 and MotoGP.
OTHER ADVANTAGES OF TITANIUM:
Very light, Increase power to weight ratio
Won’t corrode or change color from exposure to water
Never need polishing like stainless steel & aluminium
Dissipates heat twice as fast as stainless steel
Won’t distort or oxidize at high temperatures
