Sawicki Speed - Intimidator Exhaust Line
Described as having been built with 1,000 plus hours of R&D, Denver, NC based Sawicki Speed's Intimidator Series are the "next generation of performance exhausts for Harley-Davidson M8 models."
Said to represent a complete redesign, Sawicki says it believes these "to be the world's first fully CAD-designed Harley performance exhaust platform.
"Built upon the foundation of Sawicki Speed's legendary 2-into-1 exhaust systems, the Intimidator Series was engineered from the ground up with maximum real-world performance in mind. From primaries to merge collectors and mufflers and mounting points, everything was digitally modeled to maximize flow optimization and fitment."
At the core of the system are 1 7/8-inch primaries stepped to 2 inches, feeding into a larger, airflow-optimized merge collector. This design increases exhaust velocity while carefully balancing backpressure and scavenging – a combination that supports both stock displacement engines and high-performance M8 builds.
The larger redesigned merge collector produces "optimal backpressure and scavenging" with claimed average HP gains over stock of +10 M8 Bagger, +10 M8 Softail; and average torque gains over stock of +12 ft-lbs M8 Bagger, +14 ft-lbs M8 Softail and 6-27 lbs weight savings over stock exhaust (varies by fitment and muffler length).
Fitments are for 2017-2026 M8 Bagger / Touring / CVO models (Shorty, Mid-Length or Full-Length) and 2018-2026 Harley M8 Softail models (Shorty or Mid-Length; availability excludes Fat Boy and Breakout).
"2026 represents the 15th year of the Sawicki Speed brand, and Chris Clark, the President of Sawicki Speed said that "this system was designed to intimidate on the dyno as much as it does at idle. Everything about it – from the stepped primaries to the collector geometry – is focused on extracting the most from the Milwaukee-Eight platform."
A purpose-built option for Low Rider STs includes a dedicated bag support bracket. Finish options include hand-brushed stainless steel (Sawicki's signature finish), Jet Hot Black Ceramic Coating and Mirror Polished Stainless Steel.
Choose from welded end cap (same finish as exhaust) or black billet aluminum bolt-on end cap. Exhausts are sold through HardDrive/WPS.
