number9 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If I put the midpipe half way on the header I can tweak it so its passable. I will have to fabricate a pipe mount though. better yet is getting the mid pipe bent at a shop. Humm.. I'll give the low mount a shot wednesday as that is due to arrive in the AM. I just put it back to stock for a quick blast to a burger and beer tonight. I'm kinda liking the sound of the bike stock at 80 with earplugs in. This pipe on the VFR thing is becoming overrated to me. I did pass a trooper at an indicated 80 and he didn't budge. To be continued.. Ok, I hear the sweet music! The Delkevic low mount mid pipe came in this morning. It went on without a hitch and looks great. I have the db killer on the pipe and it's just right. With the shock preload adjuster and being able to mount bags this is a very nice solution.

I bought this bike that way. The Ohlins was a major factor in my decision to purchase it. A few tweaks and darn its good, no need to frack around with a 929, 954, what the frack ever shock to retrofit on the VFR. The Ohlins is the right way to do it. The money is a fair tradeoff for the silly fitment issues. The Delkevic with the DB killer is Perrfect.. Just right amount of tone and volume. Its just a hair louder at speed. In the city it gets more notice than the stock pipe. Just what I wanted. I don't mind pulling 10 pounds off the bike either. Because my VFR is my all rounder the standard mount pipe works for me. I still might look into a high mount that does work with my bag mounts...Ugh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yes, the CF pipes sound good out of the box, but once a Staintune's packing "carbons up" enough, the raspy, tinny sound it has when brand new pretty much goes away and the pipe sound as good as the best sounding, non-Staintune pipe you can find, plus you will never have to repack it, and it will look brand new even after 20 years on a bike..... and the can will not deteriorate from heat and UV exposure as many CF cans do, over time.

highsider989 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I like the staintune as well but I can buy four of these for the price. In the meantime I can get tires, air filters, hoses, oil filters, oil and so on in the time it would take a silencer to degrade in the next 15 years.
