I've been looking up exhausts and going back and forth on a few when I noticed this one show up on Delkevic's site; but I haven't seen this style before.
Has anyone seen this or have any audio of it? The price is right:
I thought the exact same, however, this is also the least expensive exhaust I have seen yet and I like this style over others - it has the more traditional cruiser look. I'm also leery of other options being way too loud, but this one with a 21" baffle is tempting.
WOW! That is nice...love how it hangs and goes back to the center of the rear wheel.
I just sent them an email to see if it comes in Black or Flat Black and for a Decibel Rating to see how loud it is...but for the price it just might be worth taking a chance on.
If it does come in Flat Black to match my Vulcan S I will definitely breakout the "Plastic" and order it right then and there.
Wonder how much it would cost to have it Powder Coated in Flat Black?
I called Delkevic, they do not offer anything in Black, they don't powder or ceramic coat there pipes they are all offered in only Stainless. The black options they do have on other exhausts are for the can's that they have carbon fiber for.
Still nothing on a quote from a local coating company.
Rear stand on bobbins might be a problem depending which one you use.
I wonder how much the pipe stands out width wise. You might be able to sneak the stand in between frame and pipe.
Just installed it, it's not going to matter which ones you use they aren't going to fit w/ the back section of pipe attached. I may consider removing it for the season if I decided to put it on a stand for an extended period of time (I don't have a stand, or bobbins at this time.) Removing sounds like a pain, but it is literally 2 bolts, 1 minute worth of work.
This is something future purchasers might want to consider though, if you routinely put it up.
I went with the Arrow Rebel - more than pleasant noise & best overall power, in black - simple to fit - quality product at sensible price - more than happy
That's funny When I called to order my headers, the girl asked if I was doing the whole exhaust. I told her no, unless they have more of a conventional exhaust akin to a simple pipe....nothing sporty or racy. She said no and I ordered on. Later, I sent them either a pic or a video of the exhaust with my black exhaust saying how good it all fit together.
is there a way to view your profile picture blown up to see the exhaust, or do I have to dig through your post history? I'm curious what can or muffler/silencer you went with if you just installed their pipes.
Here it is off the bike when I was wrapping the headers. The close up is showing the welds between the two. I used a 17" glass pack from Jones Exhaust. Straightforward hotrod glass pack that I painted black with high temp paint. Let me know if you'd like more pics and I can send them
Awesome, I literally just placed my order 5 minutes before your comment. It's Tuesday, hoping for Friday delivery so I can work on it this weekend. I also have my first service scheduled for Thursday so this would be good timing.
*edit*
Shipped: Estimated Delivery Friday September 2
I wish! I dropped it off Monday, I should have it back either tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Cerekote "Glacier Black", I also took in the 2 silver accent pieces that are on each side of the bike after I did a crappy plastidip job on then and it started peeling.
Finally got a call today that the pipes were done. I also had the silver accept panels (2 per side) done also, and they match up to the rest of the black on the bike very well.
Thanks, I really like it and it was the cheapest option. For me going black was mandatory, that was another $120 (which included the trim pieces on the bike as well), that put's the total cost of the exhaust right at $500 - which is still the least expensive option compared to other Delkevic setups, Two Brothers, and Arrow that were all a couple hundred more.
I think this pipe matches the cruiser look of the S. To each their own, I'm just glad there are several options out there to pick from.
