It looks really nice, but what about the oil filter?
Can it be changed without removing the headers?

I would say yes, you can change the oil and filter, but I haven't yet.
While installing there looked to be lots of room to remove the filter.
I thought the website stated oil & filter removal with exhaust installed.
Maybe it's their megaphone system.

Got out for a chilly November evening ride.
Was supposed to go into Toronto for the Thursday Night bike meet, but it was too cold.
Decided to go for wings instead with a couple of buddies.
Too cold for one to ride, so he drove, and took this video of me beside him;

I did change the oil and filter last weekend.
No problem getting the filter out.




Last warm up, before her Winter hibernation:

That is a nice looking system! I like the sound also.

seeing that it comes in parts... I might be able to make that fit my '84 GPZ
(still searching for a 4 into 1 for that)

Much better looking than the megaphone with the seam.

I swapped out a Vance & Hines for a Delk system, and LOVE it!! the tone is MUCH more "snarly" it sounds like an F-1 car at high revs! I coated the inside with hi-temp exhaust paint in an effort to prevent discoloration...still got some, but for the sound, and rust proof tendency of stainless, I can deal with it...would definitely recommend them...one piece of advice : If a particular down tube is giving you trouble lining up, do that one FIRST!

So I ordered a set yesterday off the Delkevic website and it was delivered today. Great service. I'm very impresed. No charge for shipping but I did have to pay import duty and sales tax which was expected.
Looks great in the box and all the little pieces are included like gaskets and hi temp silicone grease for the slip fit parts. Same style as Rob's above. It will be a few weeks before I install it but you can bet I am looking forward to getting er going again. Will post some photos mid March

Nice John.
I'm looking forward to a new season with the new exhaust.

So I installed the new Delkevic this afternoon. Love the sound - deep and throaty. Did have to make my own stay to attach muffler to passenger foot rest but not a big deal. Very happy :)


We have a deep freeze coming tonight so i removed the battery and threw the cover over the bike and will check everything again when things warm up Thursday or Friday.

The old MAC was getting crusty and those flanges were made of of butter and bent using minimal effort with the shorty small ratchet.
