This carbon muffler exhaust protection in our unique design for the Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade 2017 blends into the motorcycle's overall appearance. As the Honda comes from the factory with a quite slim and high-grade titanium muffler it was clear for Ilmberger to just replace the original metal exhaust protection to give the muffler a more sporty look. The extremely light Ilmberger Carbon exhaust protection is made of a special heat resistant prepreg material and gives the muffler a nice and even more agressive look.
This part is a direct replacement for the original component and contributes mainly to weight saving on the motorcycle (up to 70% less) and a higher stiffness of the parts. Like all of our carbon fibre parts, it was made according to the latest protocols and industry standards and can be considered to encompass all aspects of current 'best of industry' practice. The part is made completely out of pre-preg carbon fibre materials using an autoclave. As with all our carbon parts, we use a clear plastic coating that not only improves the appearance, but also protects the carbon fibre from scratching and has a unique UV resistance.
