not4us Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sounds great and I like the color of the bike. Well, thank you, although the color has now changed (see http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/73854-i-only-had-to-buy-some-fork-oil/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hainzy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The most important thing to remember is Delkevic are budget exhausts so not much R&D has been made to suit every bike. They have a good reputation here in the UK, one of the last budget exhaust manufacturers left. The silencer build quality is good, however some of the link pipe welds (model specific) have been a little flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Definitely interested. I see they have 8" and 9". Hard to say which one would look better, seems like not a huge difference - is it even noticeable? Gotta pick me up a set of these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 personally the shorty cans on the VTEC look a bit skimpy. There's still a lot of hole there in front of the cans. So I'd go with the longer option for sure, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd go with the longer option for sure, but to each his own. Also, the 9" are Oval w/ Slash Cut, and the MINI 8" is Round w/ large opening... But I tend to agree the short ones may be TOO short... I also wish the Ovals were 90 degrees shifted as well, instead of up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schleygo Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Reading this thread sold me on these pipes. I'm thinking carbon fiber 9" for my 6th gen I wonder what the weight savings will be? Also any updates on fit and finish after a few months of owning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTEC2k8 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Schley - weight saving is about 9.5 pounds. Fit is still good after 6 months, just make sure you use loctite on the bolts underneath the seat. Finish has discolored slightly, but I haven't put genuine effort into cleaning it yet. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/75117-9-delkevic-6th-gen/#entry897350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTEC2k8 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Well I don't have the bag mounts. But they take up less room than the stock exhaust, so I presume it would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schleygo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I pulled the trigger on getting the Delkevics. Just went with the stainless steel 9". I am happy with the product for the price. Fit and finish is good. It was tuff installing them with the CW fender eliminator installed, but I got it done. So 2 thumbs up for a good exhaust system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewwolfy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'll be picking up a set of Delkevic headers for a 5th gen. Anyone have any thoughts on heat wrapping these? I've heard that the tape actually locks in moisture, but if they're stainless, does this matter? Looking more to protect them from road debris, reduce heat dissipation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
