Heathen Apex – GSX-8 Platform Race Package (Pre-Release)

The Heathen Apex Race System is the most aggressive and uncompromising exhaust package ever produced for the GSX-8 platform. Designed from the ground up for riders who demand maximum power, reduced weight, and raw, unfiltered sound, the Apex is a true race system built with zero concessions to noise limits or emissions compliance.

Engineered as a complete performance solution, the Heathen Apex delivers 9+ horsepower gains at the wheel when paired with the included ECU calibration and Stage 2 airbox upgrade. This is not a toned-down street exhaust — it is a purpose-built race system designed to extract everything the GSX-8 motor has to give.

Each Heathen Apex – GSX-8 Race System is delivered as a fully integrated package, where every component is designed to work together for measurable performance gains.

Vehicle Fitment: Fits 2023–2026 Suzuki GSX-8R, GSX-8S, and GSX-8TT models.

Key features include:

Included in every kit:

1. Heathen Apex full race exhaust system with new high-flow muffler
2. Custom ECU performance tune calibrated specifically for the Apex system
3. Stage 2 airbox modification components
4. Installation hardware and instructions

ECU Programming & Production Process (Important)

This package requires ECU programming to ensure proper fueling, ignition timing, and throttle mapping for the Heathen Apex system.

To minimize customer downtime, ECUs should NOT be sent immediately after purchase.

1. Production for the first batch will begin mid-February
2. At the start of production, customers will receive detailed ECU removal and shipping instructions
3. Customers should only ship their ECU once instructed to do so
4. Once the ECU is received, final system assembly, programming, and shipment will take approximately 3 weeks

This controlled process ensures your bike is not unnecessarily sidelined while your system is being built.

Customers are responsible for shipping their ECU to our facility. Return shipping with the completed system is included. 2 Wheel Fabrication is not responsible for delays, damage, or loss caused by shipping providers.

Build & Lead Time

The Heathen Apex Race System is built as a managed production run, not mass-produced inventory.

1. Pre-orders are accepted during the pre-release window
2. Production begins mid-February
3. Final delivery timing is based on ECU receipt, not order date
4. Typical turnaround is approximately 3 weeks from ECU arrival

This structure allows us to maintain tuning consistency, build quality, and predictable delivery timelines.

Limited First Production Run

The Heathen Apex Race System pre-release is limited to 25 units.

This cap allows us to:

1. Maintain strict quality control
2. Ensure consistent ECU calibration
3. Deliver on schedule for the first production batch

Once the pre-release closes, no additional orders will be accepted until the public release.
