Delkevic 350mm

[rob8781]

Hi,
I just joined this site so this is my first post.
I've had my SV650 for about 2 months now and I'm thinking about getting a Delkevic 350 mm oval stainless can.
Does anyone have this on their SV? Any problems with it? Does it pop and bang on over run?
Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Got a Delkevic on the Mrs' bike.

Built well, looks good, sounds good, loud but not offensive and was a good price.

Doesn't really pop and bang though. If you want that try a Blue Flame

[rob8781]

I want to avoid the pop/bang. My last bike (1998 Honda CB500) popped a lot so i put the original can back on eventually.
I want something that looks and sounds better than the standard exhaust, too big and quiet.
From what you've said the Delkevic sounds like what I'm after, good price too.
Thanks.

usually the popping and banging is due to leaks in the system.

My Blue Flame would pop and bang like crazy with the baffle out but not with it in.

I have a Blue Flame trioval, great can, good noise and on a yellow k1 you do get noticed.

I'll echo L3NNY's comments, looks good and sounds great. Get one!

I've got one on my sk6. Doesn't pop or bang, I love it.

Exhaust finally expired !!!

Have now got a Yoshimua carbon fibre trioval, deeper tone but still sounds great

Ring Beowulf and ask them what they've got in terms of 'seconds'. They don't advertise them, but I live about 3 miles away from them and popped in and got a can worth about 230 for 150 because 'it was scratched during manufacture'.

I couldnt see the scratch, even when pointed out to me (and yes I had the glasses on) and it looks the sh!t and certainly turns heads...

Thanks for that I will try that. By the way love the picture....

[LewSpeight]

No problem :)

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply's.

I ordered the Delkevic 350mm and it arrived yesterday so i'm going to fit it this weekend. My question is 'where do i cut the existing exhaust?'. I've seen various people saying anything from 50mm to 65mm from the weld line. Where did you cut yours?

Thanks, Rob.

[Bod51]

Cut mine about 60mm

[rob8781]

That's what I was thinking, don't want to cut it at 50mm and find its too short.

[Corny Gizmo]

cut longer if unsure then cut again if you need to, 60mm should be more than enough

[scotty217]

I cut longer at 55 mm, as others have said i didn't want to cut too short. I used an angle grinder with a very narrow cutting disk. wrapped the pipe in some masking tape, marked all the way round, cut through by about 99% then cut the final sliver with a hack saw blade. Be careful when you are almost through, that you are not going to cut into the swinging arm. Then i filed away any burrs on the end of the pipe. It took me about 5 or 10 minutes to do the cut. I went slow and careful 'cos i didn't want to c0ck it up.

[rob8781]

I fitted it yesterday, cut at 60mm and it went on fine, a lot easier than I thought it would be. Went out for a 25 mile ride and it sounds great, nice deep sound and no popping or banging. Looks great, very happy.
