Honda’s engineers incorporated advanced technology including selectable riding modes, combined ABS, and traction control, making the VFR800 RC79 one of the most capable and versatile motorcycles in its class.

Performance Exhaust System for VFR800 RC79: What’s Included

Our complete exhaust package for the vfr800 rc79 has been precision-engineered to deliver seamless fitment and maximum performance gains. Each kit includes a premium-quality stainless steel 304 CNC mandrel-bent link pipe, crafted to exact specifications to ensure unrestricted exhaust flow and optimal power delivery throughout the rev range. The mandrel bending process maintains consistent internal diameter throughout all curves, eliminating the restriction points commonly found in crush-bent alternatives.

Additionally, the kit includes a robust stainless steel exhaust strap and high-quality exhaust strap rubber, providing secure mounting whilst allowing for thermal expansion during operation.

One of the key advantages of our design philosophy is compatibility with your existing OEM downpipes. This exhaust system is engineered to fit straight onto the standard factory downpipes, dramatically simplifying installation and reducing the overall cost of upgrading your exhaust system. You won’t need to purchase additional components or fabricate custom solutions—everything required for a professional installation is included in the package.

This approach also means you can retain the stock catalytic converter if required for emissions compliance in your region, or combine our system with aftermarket headers for maximum performance gains.

Engineering Excellence: Why Our VFR800 RC79 Exhaust Stands Apart

At Quill Performance Exhausts, we don’t simply manufacture exhaust systems—we engineer complete solutions for discerning motorcyclists. Our vfr800 rc79 exhaust has been developed through extensive research, testing, and refinement to deliver tangible benefits across multiple performance parameters. The stainless steel 304 construction offers exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring your investment maintains its appearance and structural integrity for years to come, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions and road salt.

The mandrel-bent construction isn’t merely an aesthetic choice; it represents a fundamental engineering advantage. By maintaining constant internal diameter throughout the link pipe, we preserve exhaust gas velocity and minimise turbulence, resulting in improved scavenging effects and enhanced mid-range torque. The weight reduction compared to the factory system contributes to improved handling characteristics, with less unsprung mass affecting the rear suspension’s ability to follow road contours accurately.

Riders consistently report noticeably sharper throttle response and a more engaging riding experience after installing our exhaust system.

Installation and Fitment for Your VFR800 RC79

Installation of our exhaust system is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical aptitude and appropriate tools. The direct bolt-on design eliminates the need for cutting, welding, or modification to your motorcycle. Simply remove the existing rear silencer section, attach our link pipe to your standard downpipes using the provided hardware, and secure the new system with the included exhaust strap and rubber mounting. Most installations can be completed within an hour, making this an ideal weekend project for DIY enthusiasts.

For those new to motorcycle maintenance or seeking visual guidance, we’ve prepared detailed video documentation showcasing the installation process. You can view the complete fitting procedure on our YouTube channel, where we demonstrate each step clearly, ensuring you have the confidence to complete the installation yourself or communicate requirements effectively to your preferred mechanic.
