CoolCeramic Technology
Taylormade’s Hi-tech Innovation

Taylormade Racing’s unique range of products offer levels of heat management technology and no compromise design, that set new standards in the replacement tailpipe market.

Heat management is the key to both improved performance and rider comfort with an underseat exhaust. Taylormade’s CoolCeramic Technology brings improvements in both areas and is a first for street motorcycle exhausts.
Paul Taylor said: ‘We spent a lot of time working with coatings and materials and kept coming back to ceramics. Taylormade pipes are made of thin-wall steel tubing which is ceramic coated both inside and out, to retain the heat (energy) within the gas. The coating is baked on at 760degrees Fahrenheit and is a proven way to enhance performance.
‘The technology has been used in drag cars to boost performance, but this is the first time it will be available for street bikes.’

The CoolCeramic Technology continues with a specially-developed ceramic wool inside the muffler, and the use of a bright aluminum surface lining to reflect heat back into the pipe.

The systems are lighter, and boost power. Taylor comments: ‘The Stock Suzuki GSXR 1000 already has an excellent power curve, but with a Taylormade system things get better right through the range. The noise is good too. We have aimed for a deeper, growlier note that while distinctive, is not uncomfortable or offensive.’

Rider comfort is also maintained by keeping the maximum amount of heat within the pipe until the exit area – while the end section is warmer than a conventional pipe, the Taylormade underseat pipes run cooler and won’t cook the rider. Taylormade’s ‘race quality’ approach means the use of smaller diameter tubes - which aims to maintain gas velocity rather than reducing it - and tighter tolerances and the use of precision mandrel tube-formers and TIG welds during manufacture. All pipework is very-thin-wall stainless steel for top quality corrosion resistance, durabilty and lightweight.

The result is a better muffler that is different, discreet, but thoroughly practical.

Taylormade components are produced at the company’s base in Van Nuys, California and are mailed with fully illustrated instructions and all fittings. Installation, which is fully reversible, should be easy for anyone who does light maintenance on their own bike.
