delkevic mufflers
01/06/17 at 00:16:50

anyone have any experience with this brand? ive been digging around trying to decide what muffler system i would like and one of these was listed on ebay. the manufacturer has 4 kits just for the ls650/s40
im kinda looking at the 21" slash cut, they all have removable baffles and all the stuff needed to install. i have yet to find a sound clip of one on our bikes but most the clips on youtube do sound pretty good.

Made of titanium & aluminum, when it arrived I thought they sent me a empty box, Header & muffler doesn't weight much more than the box it came in !

Given the price, I think that the quality is very good. The sound is - awesome. Mine was purchased about 5 years ago, so I don't how their product has evolved. But given my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to use a Delkevic muller/pipe/can.

They had three out of the four Savage/S40 mufflers in stock. I ended up buying the short/slash cut end one. The one out of stock was the long one with the slash cut.

I was impressed by the quality of their stuff. The muffler I bought is made of T-304 stainless steel (with at least 18% chromium and at least 8% nickel). Well built, and with all the parts to fit it to the motorcycle.

I talked quite a while with an employee there, who showed me their back room where they have quite a few bikes bound to England.

I plan to fit the muffler to my S40 tomorrow.

PS: I just got tired of waiting for the right kind of Dyna muffler to turn up!

$220.83 out the door. That was the pick up price. You hook up the muffler to the original header with a link pipe (adapter), supplied with the kit. Also supplied are a bracket and bolts. The kit also includes a tube of high temperature silicon.

Expensive, but obviously I though it was worth it, otherwise I would not have bought it!

I am going to run it with the baffle in place, but for those who like "loud pipes", you remove one bolt and the baffle slips out.

Re: delkevic mufflers Reply #12 - 01/11/17 at 03:59:38 That someone Builds an aftermarket for the Savage is cool. The Supertrapp just costs Too Much,but can be tuned to the carb setup. I don't see paying$200.00 for a muffler just to gut the baffle. Get a Dyna for Twenty, and rip into it.

so im planning on getting the 21" slash cut, i know its going to cost more then a dyna but i just prefer the looks of this one. taxes are coming so that will be my treat with the refund, if i can convince the gf Roll Eyes

there is a motorcycle salvage yard near me, i might take a few bucks and head over just to see if i can find anything unusual.

I am sure running the Delkevic without the baffle would be very loud, and require rejetting. The power will be down. I agree it would also be a waste of money, but maybe not that uncommon or surprising. Don't new Harley owners routinely have the dealer take off stock HD mufflers to install Vance and Hines or other straight pipes, which require a new bike tune? That can't be cheap.

I have not made a video for years, but I will make an effort when the muffler is on my S40, and see what I can come up with!
