A slip-on that looks like a full exhaust!

The CSS is a slip-on type that looks like a "straight pipe" exhaust. Normally, a straight pipe is a full exhaust, but the CSS is a slip-on that utilizes the stock pipe of the Z900RS to create the appearance of a straight pipe.

In fact, K-FACTORY has already released a straight full exhaust for the Z900RS. However, the company president, Mr. Hiroshi Kuwahara, had the strong desire to make riding the Z900RS more exciting, for its riders' to be able to enjoy light customization, and to lower the hurdle of exhaust replacement. That's how this slip-on exhaust came to be.

In fact, the cost of the CSS slip-on type is almost half that of the full exhaust, the "CSR+", making it the perfect product for owners who want to give their Z900RS a straight look but feel that a full exhaust system is too expensive.

Use heat-resistant paint to make your exhaust look like a full straight pipe!

Although it gives the feel of a straight pipe, it is still a slip-on. The catalytic converter chamber remains the same, and the pipe and silencer being different colors might make people feel sceptical.

One solution is to paint the pipes with heat-resistant paint. K-BLACK, a heat-resistant paint sold by K-FACTORY, is a spray that repairs scratches, peeling paint, and fading on black-painted steel exhausts, and since it is the same color as the CSS slip-on, painting the stock pipes will give the exhaust more of a straight pipe look.

■Painting the pipes enhances the straight pipe-like appearance.

■The catalytic converter chamber is also less noticeable when painted.

■The "K-FAC" label brings out the straight pipe look.

We hope you will enjoy light customization of the Z900RS with this straight style slip-on CSS from K-FACTORY.
