acing is the backbone of every serious aftermarket exhaust system company. Racing tests products in ways not possible in any lab or on any street, and Hindle—a company born on the racetrack—uses racing extensively. What Hindle learns on the racetrack goes into every exhaust system they manufacture, too, and the 2003 racing season was no different. Hindle was there, with Factory Yamaha racer Pascal Picotte winning the Canadian Superbike and 600 Supersport championships aboard his Hindle-equipped Yamaha R1 and R6, and privateer-expert Scott Greenwood winning the F-USA sportbike championship aboard another Hindle-equipped R6.

Hindle has created a brand-new line of titanium slip-on adapters and mufflers for all of the popular sport bikes.

That was 2003, and the lessons were learned. And applied. For the 2004 season Hindle’s introduced a state-of-the-art full stainless steel race system. These pipes and silencers are the same ones used by the pros. They deliver maximum performance (check last season’s results) and do it without sacrificing one bit of street rideability. Hindle’s new systems use the most technologically advanced products and materials available, too, the best stuff around. And it’s all been track-proven.

Hindle has also introduced a brand-new titanium slip-on line this year. Weight reduction is the Holy Grail of every exhaust system manufacturer, and Hindle’s found it. With titanium. Available right now, the titanium slip-on adapters and mufflers are offered for all the popular sport bikes. And once again Hindle’s used the best materials around, Grade 2 titanium, the same as used in aerospace technology. The muffler is constructed entirely of titanium, too, for a serious reduction of weight without sacrificing performance. Serious weight loss—awesome power!

All of this is in the 2004 Parts Unlimited catalog. Check it out, or check it out at the track this season—don’t be surprised if you see them on some of the front-runners. If you have the chance, stop by Hindle’s booth at the Indy show and see all of this first-hand. Otherwise, give your rep a call.
