Reds Racing X-One Pro exhaust

Reds Racing have released a new hard coated version of the X-One offroad pipe-manifold all-in-one system. The new X-One Pro exhaust has been produced with a dark grey hard coated treatment to increase its strength. Furthermore the new exhaust comes welded to the header to improve performance and fuel consumption. After a year of development they managed to get not only a stronger exhaust but also a better resistance to impacts and scratches. Easy to clean thanks to the special hard coating that avoids dust, mud and burned oil to stick to the exhaust so easily, it has better performance and improved resonance thanks to an increase in stiffness. With all Reds Racing X-One exhaust systems there is no need to use and therefore replace springs or gaskets. Available in two versions, the Torque for smoother power output and higher top speed and the High Torque for higher torque and mid range power.
