Link Pipe
Motorcycle Link Pipes in India
The link pipe — sometimes called a mid-pipe or de-cat pipe — connects the exhaust header to the muffler canister, and upgrading it is one of the most effective ways to complement a slip-on or full system build. Custom Elements offers link pipes from Akrapovic, Arrow, Leovince, SC Project, and Zard.
A quality link pipe removes the flow restriction of the OEM mid-pipe and any stock catalytic converter, allowing exhaust gases to exit more freely and unlocking additional horsepower. Link pipes are especially popular on naked bikes and sports motorcycles where riders want the acoustic benefits and power gains of a full system while retaining the OEM header. They serve as the critical bridge in any custom exhaust setup.
Why Upgrade Your Link Pipe
- Reduced Restriction - Performance link pipes have smoother bends and larger bore dimensions than OEM, reducing exhaust back-pressure.
- Weight Reduction - Stainless or titanium link pipes are significantly lighter than the OEM mid-pipe assembly.
- Better Sound - Removing OEM baffling or catalytic converters in the mid-section results in a fuller, more open exhaust note.
- System Flexibility - Allows pairing of OEM headers with an aftermarket canister, giving a cost-effective staged upgrade path.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a link pipe and a mid-pipe?
The terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to the section of exhaust pipe that connects the header collector to the muffler canister.
Will a link pipe work with my existing slip-on?
Provided the connection diameters and clamp types are compatible, yes. Check the fitment details on each product listing to confirm compatibility.
Does fitting a link pipe require any other modifications?
A fuel remap is recommended after fitting a de-cat or high-flow link pipe to maintain the correct air-fuel mixture, especially on fuel-injected motorcycles.
