Title: delkevic exhaust
Post by: barbz on Monday, 10 September 2018, 11:10 AM
Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has any good or bad experiences with delkevic exhausts?

My bike has a dinged staintune at the moment and it's cheaper to replace than repair

I want a tri-oval so looking at yoshimura or delkevic ($400 price difference).

I've had a look around and listen on YouTube but wanted to ask here if there's anything I need to know before seriously considering the delkevic on the basis of price.

Thankyou

I've got a 350? Delkevic on mine, sounds very nice while sitting, best thing it isn't any louder at normal road speeds, getting 'up in the rev range' you get the agressive growl, which is nice at those speeds too. 

TBH, I can't recall the exact size, but it's the mid size can, not the stubby 200 or the longer 400.   It's a carbon can btw.

I had one on my tiger it had a lovely sound to it and was good quality too and i like the way the brand name is etched in to the can rather than a badge ..... ye nice looking peace of kit as well .

I have the 350mm oval on mine & think the quality & sound are great.
The only issue I had, was getting the link pipe to line up perfectly, so that the can was not kicking out too much from the bike.
They were very good & helpful to deal with though, so would recommend them.

I have this one. It has no baffle.
You can have it for $160.
I am on the Gold Coast.

I have a pair of Delkavic tri-ovals fitted. No issues.

Takes an eternity to match pipes if you have the twin can set up. All in all great kit. Get a willing helper - i must have walked to the back of the bike dozens of times... :furious:

I fitted the collector too. One problem. With the side covers one screw rattled loose. I had a spare. So, I took the lot off and applied some thread lock. No problems since.

As well as Delkevic, also have a look at Pipewerx Exhausts. Even their cheaper range of Hawk cans are superb value for money and excellent quality :onya:

I have a pair of the 200mm in carbon.....I have to agree that they are not that easy to line up. Mine were on the bike when I bought it and have no baffles fitted...They are fairly loud.
I'd like to go to a 4-1 at some point
