Exhaust Pipe for TVS Apache RTR 160: Racing Spec
This exhaust pipe is built for the TVS Apache RTR 160 and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the racing spec programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: inconsistent hardness between lots, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts
- Material — Polypropylene is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual TVS Apache RTR 160 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — powder coating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.
Processes used on this line

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The racing spec build is the one most often ordered for night riding. Riders also fit it for mountain roads, roadside assistance, rental fleets, track days.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO 9001-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO 9001 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
