Product description

One of the big four Japanese motorcycle producers Kawasaki has a history stretching back to the 1960’s producing many innovative models over the years including the world’s first air cooled, DOHC, in-line four engine in 1972. The 80’s saw the release of the first of their iconic Ninja range which have gone on to become one of the most sought-after marques. Motorsports has played a big part in their history most notably in World Superbikes where they’ve won numerous world championships over the years. Scorpion also have a rich history in producing performance exhausts for many Kawasaki powered race teams over the years ensuring true track to road technology transfer.

Scorpion’s leading technicians have developed through rigorous trial and testing a slip-on and full system for the Kawasaki Ninja 400. Using dynamometer development combined with track to road technology Scorpion exhausts are cutting-edge performance products. Scorpion’s branding is a hallmark for precision engineered exhausts, fabricated using premium high thermal tolerance T304 motorsport grade stainless steel tube that will endure through the harshest of conditions.

Want a little more power from your motorcycle? Scorpion’s half-system is the perfect compromise, leaving the factory catalysts (where fitted) in place and bolting directly to the OEM system. Scorpion’s half-systems are designed for improved gas flow and sound, perfect for those using their bike as a daily.

For those riders wanting all-out performance Scorpion’s racing inspired full system is the answer, with an improved upswept angle for the rear silencer giving riders an improved leaning angle clearance when on the track. This system has been developed with de-cat pipework which removes the bulky OE catalyst resulting in unobstructed gas-flow, which is perfect for those riders pushing the boundaries of exhaust performance. Scorpion’s high-flow header pipes also eliminate excessive back pressure which can occur when your bike’s engine expels exhaust gasses in restrictive OEM pipework. (For closed circuit use only.)

Scorpion’s racing inspired full system was originally designed for the Affinity Sports Academy Kawasaki team. They had a fantastic 2022 racing season, which saw rider James McManus take home the British Junior Supersport champion title. This was all achieved whilst running Scorpion’s full race Serket Taper system, showing Scorpion’s track-to-road programme in action!

The OE system doesn’t require cutting and as a result allows for straightforward installation when using Scorpion’s official Scorpion fitting guides. Riders will be able to indulge in a more tantalising tone with a much deeper sportier acoustic range that will epitomize the enduring quality of this product throughout its lifetime of service.

High-flow silencer, weight reduction and large bore pipework shaped using CNC Mandrel bent construction are all key contributors to improved performance. By allowing a greater flow of exhaust gas Scorpion’s exhausts provide a sharper throttle response and increase in bhp. With all these improvements packed into Scorpion’s exhausts it’s no-wonder that upgrading with Scorpion has been described as transforming the riding experience!

Scorpion’s signature silencers are instantly recognisable due to popularity with motorcyclists worldwide, maintaining the unchanging standard of unrivalled Scorpion build-quality. The silencer is not only one of the most technically intricate components of the exhaust system but one of the most visually eye-catching. For this reason, Scorpion offers a selection of silencer styles and finishes depending on motorcycle model and manufacturer.

The Ninja 400 slip-on and full system can be fitted with the Serket Taper style silencer finished in either brushed stainless, titanium or carbon fibre. Red Power style silencer can be finished in brushed stainless, titanium or black ceramic. Finally, Scorpion is offering Scorpion’s hardcore racing inspired RP1-GP silencer finished in lightweight carbon fibre.
