Exhaust Silencer Connect Link Centre Pipe for BMW S1000 / S1000RR (2008–2018) Key benefits Restores and improves exhaust flow: The centre pipe smooths the transition between header and silencer, reducing turbulence and helping the system breathe more freely for more consistent performance. Lowers operating temperature: Designed to help dissipate heat from the exhaust path, which can reduce local temperatures and strain on surrounding components. Durable, long-lasting construction: Engineered to resist rust, high temperatures, and deformation so it remains reliable under track and street conditions. A practical choice for both replacement and performance upgrade. What it does Connects the silencer to the exhaust system (link/centre pipe) to maintain proper alignment and exhaust routing. Helps increase effective exhaust volume and reduce backpressure, contributing to smoother throttle response and improved ride feel. Provides a dependable replacement when the original pipe is corroded, dented, or otherwise compromised. Compatibility Specifically designed for BMW S1000 and S1000RR models from 2008 through 2018. Fits as the centre link between header and silencer for these model years. Practical attributes Corrosion resistance: Material and finish minimize rusting for extended service life. High temperature resistance: Withstands the heat of regular and aggressive riding without deforming. Straightforward replacement: Intended as a direct-fit upgrade or replacement part for the specified BMW models. Use scenarios Routine replacement: Swap out a corroded or damaged centre pipe to restore exhaust routing and prevent leaks. Performance upgrade: Install as part of an exhaust upgrade to smooth flow and improve throttle response for spirited street riding or occasional track days. Track preparation: Replace an older centre pipe before competitive or track use to reduce heat buildup and ensure system reliability under sustained high-load conditions. Notes Designed to match the original fitment and function for BMW S1000 / S1000RR (2008–2018). Confirm model year compatibility before purchase.
