Thank you Sophie and Janielle

Good on them!!!! 

damn, I ll have to give them a call to see if they can do any sort of deal for shipping in Canada.

Thx for the great news

I don't see the C14 listed on their site. Was hoping to look at picks before deciding.

eBay has several good pics on a C14

Okay, I may be hooked. Will there be any tuning required to run these? Is there any difference between the Tri-oval and Round other than looks?

Is this just 100+ dollars spent to get rid of the ugly can, or is there actually a performance gain?  I will be honest, the price is too good to pass up, but is it worth it? It is difficult for me to tell based on reviews, and the few videos I have seen.

Is this just 100+ dollars spent to get rid of the ugly can, or is there actually a performance gain?

Ug.

Like most all muffler replacements when not replacing the headers and/or pipes and/or cat removal, it is cosmetic, weight reduction, and noise amplification/alteration.  Anything else is negligible and/or placebo.

Not that there's any thing wrong with that.

Howdy,

For some of you that are interested this is the description on the one I bought.

Done with the 18" oval SS

Anxious to see and..............hear

Waiting for it to come thru the mail/UPS I think.
Hope to have it by this weekend so I can install Tuesday or Wednesday.
I plan on putting it on trying it then removing it to paint or powder coat black.

I got the Tri-oval carbon baffle which knocks off 14 pounds. The quality is alright, not top notch, but good for the price. I removed the inner cone thing to give it some more noise. The sound is great! Just enough to hear the RPM's until the wind noise takes over at speed. I did Dyno the bike after I put it on but I don't think the numbers are right. The peak HP was 146 (STD) calculation,  but I didn't do torque and rpm. The calculation was STD not SAE, so I think the HP is around 5% higher than SAE.  A mechanic friend and I were guessing it may have added a few HP, possibly as much as 5hp. I was going to post a review but figure now it's not really needed. Just a few comments and photos about it. I definitely recommend this slip-on. At $180 this is a bargain. I think a Two Brothers is over $400.

Put my 14" oval CF on today, looks and sounds great!

Will post up some pics later tonight.

As promised!








Delkevic 14" Carbon Fiber Exhaust on Kawasaki Concours 14

18" Oval CF will be in this week...can't wait to put it on! What a nice group of people at Delkevic...very helpful!

Any performance  change ?  I'm trying to decide how to mod my beast.  Is it worth it to just change the can.?  Instinct says I need to repipe without the cat, muffler and re flash ...  ideas

Snype

just the weight reduction  probably worth 0.1 at the track

Gone through two tanks of gas so far since putting my pipe on and am seeing almost 10% increase in gas mileage.

Makes sense, less weight, more hp, same commuting. Less gas needed to get it done. Heck, at that rate the pipe will pay for itself in about 18,000 miles!
