Guest MBH300 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello everyone New to the forum & need a little help / advice I have a 95 with a micron pipe. Sounds awesome! I also have a 99 with a jardine rt-1. I hate it!!! Sounds stock! Micron is out of business & as far as I can tell never made a pipe for the 5th gen. Question is does anyone know what else I could use that would sound similar on the 99. I have listened to everything I could find on you tube & best I can tell the 2 brothers & the delkevic are the closest to the micron Any ideas,experience, or suggestions??

Spiff Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I had a two brothers pipe on my 93 and really liked it. It does sound different on my 05, but that is/was to be expected. All the same, I would still go with a two brothers if I had to do it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marriedman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have both a Delkevic and Two Bros for my 99. There really is no contest that the Two Bros sounds better. The Delkevic is damn good for the money though. However, I thought mello dude had a micron on his 98? EDIT: just remembered these. Same phone took both videos so you can get a good comparison. And then my Two Bros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have a carbon fiber Micron on my 2001, so they did make them. My GF has a carbon fiber D&D on her 2000 and it sounds good. I had an aluminum D&D on mine for a while and thought it was obnoxiously loud. The CF's seem to have a better sound and aren't obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MadScientist Posted September 24, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah, micron did make a cf exhaust for the 5th gen. You can see it in my gallery. They did make a high mount but it is quite rare and the low mount can has a larger inlet diameter. The micron can has an allen bolt hidden in the outlet, making for rivetless disassembly for repacking. Also, I noticed the perforated center exhaust tube is slightly heavier gauge than other cans that I have repacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX-XX Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've also been casting about for a decent quality Hi-mount to replace the old and (TBH) pretty crappy Hi mount I have on my '98 bike. I keep seeing Delkevic advertising Hi-mount systems for the 5th gen VFR, but they never have a picture with the exhaust mounted (which makes me a bit suss...) At one point I actually asked them to send me a photo of one of their Hi mount systems fitted to a 5th Gen, but they claimed they didn't have one (a 5th gen, OR a photo of one with a HI-mount ;) Have any of you US-based blokes seen a Delkevic system on a 5th gen and, if so, what were your impressions of build quality/mounting etc? Pics would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primo Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I have a high mount Staintune and it sounds fantastic. I also had dual Staintunes on my 93 Ducati supersport and i am sold on their quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannytb Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I have a Delkevic low mount 13" tri-oval on my '99. I think it sounds better than the Staintune I had on my '98. I've put video clips of the sound with and without the baffle onto Youtube, in case anyone's interested in having a listen. Please keep in mind that the videos were taken on my iPhone, so the sound quality could be a bit better. Oh... I almost forgot to put up a photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannytb Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sorry for the mobile links. Hopefully they will work on non-mobiles... Delkevic 13" tri-oval with the baffle: Without the baffle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgsx400e Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I put a Vance and Hinds SS2R on my bike this spring. It is awesome, but quite distinct. The V4 now sounds like a V8. When I was looking I also liked the sound of the DEVIL exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFRMike Posted October 11, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 11, 2013 I had a 99 VFR with the oval high mount carbon fiber from TwoBros. I felt it was not only the nicest sounding, with Micron a close second, but was also the only high mount canister that allowed for the fitment of GIVI hard bags. The carbon fiber canister never got too hot and the hard bags were never in jeopardy of being overly warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted October 11, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 11, 2013 Micron made all the flavors for the 5th gen, and the high mount works with Givi mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Here is an ally Micron can on my 5th gen. I tossed it on there after removing it from a CBR600f2. I have had many end cans on the back and they are all mostly the same. I agree that carbon fibre gives a nice deep tone and I woud have kept my last CF can on there, but I came to the conclusion that it was just too loud. sounded nice, though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer zupatun Posted October 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've had V&H on my 4th gen, now I have a D&D on my 5th gen now and it sounds great. However, my greatest regret after selling my track bike is that I got rid of a Staintune to buy a snowboard....it was a damn nice snowboard...but I really miss the best sounding pipe ever made for the VFR...

IMG_5774.JPG When my '99 was new I bought a 2 Bros. high mount for it which sounds fantastic (it's in my gallery). 2 Bros. has since discontinued that style, and if I were in the market for one today I would buy the Staintune. I agree - they're sleek and clean looking and sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcincy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have a DanMoto CF system on my 05 that's for a 5th Gen and it sounds really good, if not a little loud. I'm going back to an underseat to add hard bags, so if you're interested in it let me know. I was planning to list it for $75 + shipping cost.

Wish I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My fightered 5th gen has a scorpion can for a gladius 650 on it with delkevic headers, just needed a custom link pipe made. Since I bought the can at the wreckers, it doesn't have a baffle. It's pretty loud, but when you open the throttle, it is brilliant. Scorpion sell them with a baffle, though. You can get any exhaust to work, it doesn't have to be vfr specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Here ya go. It looks a bit different to the pic i posted, but that is one of the better pics showing the exhaust. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/76261-vfr8-streetfighter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Leaning toward the delkevic high mount right now. I've about decided I would prefer the high mount over sound. If I can get both all the better Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
