MOTORCYCLE EXHAUST SYSTEMS BY SC-PROJECT
SC-Project range of motorcycle exhaust systems are divided into two main categories:
- Street-legal systems, compliant with Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5, and Euro 5+ regulations;
- Non-homologated racing systems, developed exclusively for track use.
All street-legal systems are fully developed and approved in-house by the SC-Project technical team, which handles every stage of the process: static and dynamic testing, bench performance trials, noise level inspections, emissions checks, and the official homologation procedure. These exhausts comply with the most rigorous European standards, including EC Directive 97/24, EU Regulation No. 168/2013 and its delegated Regulation No. 134/2014, United Nations Regulation ECE-R92 (RESS) for non-original exhaust systems
Certification is issued by qualified third-party bodies, such as TÜV Italia, ensuring full reliability and compliance. SC-Project is also capable of homologating exhausts for the U.S. market, equipping them with “spark arresters” device to prevent sparks caused by incandescent exhaust gases.
Trusted by leading motorcycle manufacturers, SC-Project is an official supplier and technical partner for major global motorcycle brands, including:
- Aprilia
- Honda Motor Europe
- Moto Morini
These partnerships reflect the international recognition of SC-Project's engineering excellence, product quality, and performance — both in aftermarket solutions and OEM applications.
Non-homologated exhausts, strictly for track use, are designed and developed by the SC-Project Racing Department. The experience gained from global racing championships — MotoGP, Moto2, Superbike, Endurance — is directly transferred to the final product. This ensures high performance, advanced materials, and cutting-edge technology.
