TOPIC:

The header is a 2 1/2 OD outlet, I used an R6 mid and silencer, the exhaust needs cut and turned in the middle, used a 2 1/2 ID to 2 inch OD coupler, cut, tig, for adapt at header used a wide stainless wrap type clamp. Super tight, no leaks, works for me.

WRONG !....I used an R1 mid and silencer, 2001 model, cut that sucker up, MARK where you want it welded. Any good weldin shop should be able to weld it. I thought my STAR pipe sounded good, this sounds sooooo much better, motor is happy. I have no complaints with the Delkevick header, if it falls off in 2 years, i'll just order another one. A swinger, bigger tire, all different stuff, I didn't want to gamble $800 for a pipe.

wow its beena long time i been on this forum,
even loonger since i posted,,,anyways this header
looks really nice, i think a nice little baffle
like this would be killer on it,,

Looking good!

I just received Mine last evening. 3 days from order to delivery. I was not disappointed in the Pipe. The welds are flawless, the finish Top notch.
I am restoring/Moding An 1980 Kz750E1, and looked first at the KEREKER. This was my first choice. but 800,00 is crazy! The Delkevic.. $354.00 Delivered.
There tow things That I would prefer on this System. The first is this Pipe is Made in CHINA.The company Logo implies, or suggest a made in USA.but the manufacture sealed/Tape says Mad in China..Id still buy it if I knew. The other is the Baffle. While it is Neat that it has a removable secondary Baffle I don't like the Flat exposed end. The Kerks is a Revers Megaphone, Conical in shape. They had several sizes, and the Race core was the perfect amount of sound..for me.
Way better tham MAC,a nd V&H

Agreed on all points of what has been said. 2.5" OD outlet for the mid-pipe. This is what I did.

Nice! Is there still some sort of a baffle in there? If you decide to offer this as a service to members let me know.

Well, my bike has a custom exhaust mount so it is slightly one off. The muffler is a perforated core with packing much like most aftermarket exhaust. You go this route, it will bark. Cone Engineering (www.coneeng.com) make these mufflers in a variety of sizes and styles. Get yourself a 2.5" and slip it in with a t-bolt clamp. You will need to figure out a hanger and get it supported. I just TIG'd the mid pipe and muffler together for one seamless unit and designed a mount and TIG'd that to the muffler. Lots of options.

Gotta say I'm a big fan of what Delkevic has done quality and price wise. Lots to love there!

I'm not a huge fan of the design/style of the swoopy header and mid pipe, but that's just me. I'm not crazy about the Kerker either. I know... blasphemy!!

I totally love what Cory's done with the Delkevic pipe though! The Cone Engineering can is a wonderful addition!

I wanted to do it more like your bike Drooz, just couldn't seem to make it happen, I like Cory's a lot too. I wanted to ride so I went with this, the sound is very deep, winters comin.....changes here and there I'm sure.
