Member Contributer zoomzoom Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hey Lanny Not that I am at all partial, nooooooo (not that) but I have the exact same slip-on fitted to both my 2000 VFR800 and the wife's 96 VFR750. Both bikes have an 18" Delkevic Stainless Slip-on and they both sound fantastic. The quality of the pipe is great, the cost was inexpensive (not cheap) and the pipe sounds glorious. As a matter of fact the Delkevic on my wife's 96 VFR sounds quite a fair bit better, with a slightly deeper and burbly tone. It is just loud enough to give the bike a more sporting and richer sound without becoming raspy or deafening. I usually run both bikes with the decibel reduced installed as IMHO it seems to sound a tad better that way. I can shoot you a pic of my wife's bike with the Delkevic installed if you are interested. Here is one photo that is located in my photo gallery. Hope you don't mind the model in the photo but my daughter loves posing on the bike.

Member Contributer Lannyl81 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 zoomzoom....thanks for the pictures....."mind the model?"...not al all!....and that is the exact slip-on that I have been looking at getting for my '97. Problem is that this one and the Delkevic 14" oval are the only two that I have found and are considering. (Delkevic has a short one, but suspect it would be to loud). I thought I would be able to find several to choose from, but so far not so. Did find a couple of used ones on ebay....but never heard of the name before....so I will keep looking. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
750 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Got a Delk on my 93, very nice sounding can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-UxZO7lSfM&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 I like my 2 bros and erion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer zoomzoom Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hey Lannyl As Yoshi mentions Two Brothers does offer a slip-on for the 97 VFR and it does sound very nice. The last time I looked on eBay the Two Bros slip-on was about $350-500 U.S. depending on the eBay vendor. They are more expensive than the Delkevic mind you so if you're on a budget the Delkevic is a very good choice for the price. Good luck with the search and ride safe.

Member Contributer apexandy Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 As Yoshi mentions Two Brothers does offer a slip-on for the 97 VFR and it does sound very nice. Not sure they actually still have them though… when I was looking a few years ago there were all sorts of ebay ads for two bros, but when I tried to order one they told me it was discontinued. I ended up ordering a delkevic mid pipe (about $75 I think) and then attaching a two bros muffler I bought used. You could theoretically do the same thing and attach almost any muffler. The two bros was probably one of the harder ones actually because they use a different mounting system and I had to get a flange welded. But most brands just use a similar size slip fitting.

Member Contributer V-FORE Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi Lanny, if you are interested I have a Delvic can sitting in my storage, I think I paid 150 for it a few years ago... Would be willing to let it go for the same price. let me know & I can send pictures. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 As long as you have an (prefrably old bashed up) OEM muffler, you cut off the section that connects to the system. Or any old mid-pipe (like this one from an old BOS system) and find someone who can weld and bend.... From there, only money is the limiting factor..........

Member Contributer panamawing Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 I went with SP Engineering located in the UK. Really like the look and no noticeable manufacturing lable. Nice clean look and sounds great. Sorry for the cicadas racket in the background. Baffle is not installed in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDBifYFKGuw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
750 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Do SP include baffles with their cans yet? I had one of theirs on my Street Triple and the sound was great but was so loud, it was absolutely rancid haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer trjerm Posted April 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 26, 2015 There's a D & D SS full system on ebay for a 4th gen thats $199 + s/h w/ 10 min to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alhazred Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 That was a two bros header with a d&d can. The Delkevic would be a good choice if you can't wait.I had one that came with my 4th gen and can't say anything bad about it but I would hold out for something cooler to come up here or on ebay.

Member Contributer The mailman Posted April 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted April 27, 2015 I absolutely LOVED my D&D slip-on that I had on my old '97 but I'm not sure they sell 'em new anymore. Check ebay as mentioned above. The D&D sounds very similar to the Delkevic video clip higher up in this thread. I was always getting compliments on the sound and people always wanted to know "What kind of engine is in that thing? It sounds like a V-8!" The old D&D ----> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you can still find a used one, a enutniatS high right would always be a nice choice for a slip on system for a 4th gen...... i've had mine on my 95 since 1996 and it's been like the manufacturer says, a "pipe of perfection" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Lannyl81 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 28, 2015 Going with the Delkevic 18" that V-FORE offered me, at least for now anyways. I thought I would be able to modify the stock OEM can like I saw on You-Tube...but got to a point and am stuck as to where to go with it....so I cav'ed and am going with the Delkevic. Hope it gets here quickly as I want to go riding, but have no muffler at all at this time and not ride'able.....and the weather is perfect right now!!!

fabio222 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 For anyone looking at Delkevic, I bought one for my 97 VFR. They had three different lengths, I went for the mid-length one. With baffle in it is nice and quiet but with a lovely burbly tone. With the baffle out it's still not shreakingly loud, it's just right with a lovely over-run although I think it the engine is running a bit lean as there is a fair amount of pops and bangs when in 2nd gear at around 5000rpm. Anywhere else and it's fine! I'd recommend them anyway, cheap and good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Lannyl81 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 28, 2015 What or how do Hi Levels mount? What do they mount to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The high right slip ons usually have a mounting point at the passenger peg and another one near the end of the can to the rear subframe, where for some reason, Honda already provided a threaded hole for it.
