It is a Delkevic, polished stainless. great finish and center stand friendly. I will say when I initially installed it the bottom of the header was a lot closer to the ground than I liked. I fixed that problem by indexing the muffler about 10 degrees CCW and fabricating my own mount and center stand stop. There mounting hardware is worthless. By making the modifications I was able to get 1 1/2 to 2" more ground clearance.

I got my Delkevik exhaust system up closer to the frame too. I also made a new mounting bracket for the muffler but was able to use the centerstand stop. The original bracket had the hole it hangs from in the wrong place in my opinion. My bracket moved the muffler up as far as it could without interfering with the passenger foot pegs. I need to figure out a thinner rubber stop so the centerstand doesn't hang as low, I haven't drug it yet and I don't want to.
