Shiney exhaust

[Shiney]

I decided to get a new exhaust on the beaST as other vehicles on the road seem to have difficulties noticing me  and a bit more noise seam to help them (and give the a bit of a rumble )

After looking around and checking reviews and so on I, cam across the Delkevic exhaust. The Australian supplier sells them for $700  (including delivery) through ebay and is located in QLD   

Anyway I ordered a set of the 18” Carbon ones in the morning and they arrived by courier that arvo, they have a few other designs for the 1100 and 1300 but I liked the look of the carbon   

Now I’m no mechanic  :( but I was able to change the original for the new ones in a short time without any issues 

They sound awesome, weigh bugger all and look a treat, anyway check out the pics, and since we can now link video  I’ll have to do a sound clip some time

Update
First remove the old exhaust cans
This is done by loosing the two bolts where the exhaust can connects to the exhaust pipe just under the rider’s footpads



Then removing the 2 bolts holding the can to the bike.





The old can will now just slip out.


(The new exhaust can setup includes (for each side) exhaust can and a small piece of pipe, and 1 clamp, 1 strap)
Connect the pipe to the can and attach the small clamp to hold them together (just loosely so any minor adjustments while installing can be made)






Slide the other end of the pipe into the exhaust pipe under the rider’s footpads.



Now place the large strap around the can and bolt it to the bike using the original rear mounting point.

(When you attach the strap around the can it will sit slightly to one side as can be seen in the pictures below (pictures taken of the accelerator side can). I found the best fit was to attached the strap on the tyre side of the bracket.







Now tighten all the bolts (the little strap and the 2 bolts connecting the can to the exhaust under the rider’s footpad.)

Repeat for the other side

Enjoy the new sound

Fully Sick Dave! Hope to get an ear full at the SEQ OzSTOC ride eh?

Thanks for sharing. I guess you have a pair of OEM mufflers for sale now.

Cheers, Diesel

Thanks mate 
Yeah you'll get to hear them then, I'm looking forward to the run

I guess your right about the original exhaust, they are just sitting the garrage  but I have no idea what they are worth?

[Streak]

They look a treat shiny, I am looking at a set for the ST1100 myself, have been for a bit now, just getting the cash together to do it

Nice pipes Shiney,

by the sound of you're post you are happy with the new cans? I have looking at them myself but was unsure how they would go, I don't want them to be too loud.

I like the stainless steel round myself, how long did it take you to install?

Very stylish Shiney!     They really compliment the look of your bike.  Just wondering if you've noticed any change in performance?

[royst1100]

very nice! looks fantaSTic

[Brock]

Its not shiney but, its a black carbon fibre look.....

Looks good any way

[saaz]

It may make a little difference.  Here is a link to a dyno run on a Two Brothers exhaust, which may be a bit louder though from what I hear.

Yes very happy,  they have a removable baffle so if you don't want it too loud they can be left in.
It took me 1 or 2 hours but I'm not very good with the mechanical stuff and had to locate the right sockets, but it was easy 

All up it's 4 bolts per side. Slide the old pipes out, slide the supplied pipe to the can and tighten the clamp (easy)  then slide it in to where the original pipe was on the bike and tighten the bolts, place the clamp around the can and bolt it to the bike where the original was attached, have a beer

Appears to be a little performance boost but it may just be me riding faster, enjoying the sound

Nice one Dave. I hope I can remember which bike is which on our next SE Qld ride. I'd hate to take the wrong bike home !!!!!!

[Shiney]

            not my   

  I might have to put my name on it and attach it to myself like a surfboard

Just curious....do you scrape the round cans in an extreme lean????

I haven't ever had them scrape

     I have had the bike lay down on it's side but the exhaust didn't touch the ground just the tipover wing and pannier, so shouldn't be an issue

[Diesel]

I haven't ever had them scrape

Geez Shiney! You are too honest for your own good mate. Missed the best ever opportunity for a tall tail there!!!!                 

Guess that's what makes this such a great Forum - full of bloody Honest To Goodness Gentlemen!               (Whoops! and LADIES)   

Well done mate.     

Cheers, Diesel

It's all part of my nefarious plan to get everyone using these exhausts  (Seriously though I love them )

Yeah, but they don't look right.

Nice looking pipes Shiney, I was looking at Delkavic pipes for my Blackbird when i had one. They're a good price and I hav'nt heard any adverse comments about them.
I've got a set of staintune pipes for the St that I hav'nt fitted yet, I quite like the low noise originals at the momement. The staintunes came with the bike when I bought it.

[Whizz]

Super Smart, Shiney...nicely done...lucky b****r 

[Shiney]

Thanks guys, I have had them for a while now and love them as much now as when I first got them

Yeah, but they don't look right.     

Perhaps something like this is more to your liking Biggles...

[sac468]

more of a factory look with a better exhaust note. however looking on ebay there does not seem to be an Australian supplier any more.

Close.  Get rid of the waterspout on the end and put two holes each side and you've got it!
