Delkevic Exhaust system

[IanH]

I have recently had a full Delkevic exhaust system fitted to my 1200.
The baffle keeps falling out and they will not accept theres a problem.
The link pipe will not seal and the end can will not seal. Both my dealer and Delkevic say Im messing with it (which Im not) so they will not do anything.
Anyone else had any issues? They selling bad gear or am I the unlucky one?

Its totally ruined my bike and need another system

Any advice on a good make?

[sickpup]

Does it need gaskets and if so are they fitted?

[Bezzer]

You had someone actually supply AND fit it for you?? if so it needs to go back and demand it is sorted by them otherwise tell them it's going to be a complaint to Trading Standards, goods unfit for purpose etc..
You do know Delkelvic is an offshoot of DK motors don't you?..., enough said
You're not having much luck with this Bandit are you

Must admit Ive fallen out with it. Time for a change.

I have sent the system back, had it back to the workshop 4 times.

Agree I should take it further. I think the gasket is missing from the joint at the can, so I can sort that. The link pipe gasket is in, it just does not line up right.

I have seen an Aprilia Falco with my name it on!

My delkevic was scrap. End can wouldn't go on because the holes didn't line up, the plate was welded on crooked and to try and cover up the shitty weld they half ground it off.

None of the header pipes were even close to lining up. Lots of time and energy was wasted putting them in a vice and pulling them as hard as I could then bashing it with a hammer for ages.

Eventually got them spaced right but the collars on the end of them were crooked aswell. On two of them you could see where someone has taken it and went round it with a grinder for whatever reason leaving a bumpy finish instead of a nice, smooth one a lathe would make.

Was going to send it back but seeing as it took a month to be delivered to me I couldn't be bothered with the potential hassle dealing with them. Have cut it to bits now and it's looking better than ever.

Hi

Being fair the Delkevic exhaust on my FZR600 did fit OK. However it was meant to be stainless but still has rusted rapidly.

All the best

I bought a set of cheapo SS downpipes off ebay for my cbr (not delkevic, they were cheaper then those!).

I was very particular about getting a set of pipes with crossovers, like on the standard pipes. Alot of the cheapo replacemnt parts don't have themm. The crossovers on these new pipes are slightly different than on the genuine honda part. They are shorter, and a bigger diameter.

Noticable bit of extra kick low down! Not bad for a set of cheap ass replacement pipes.

Motad do a pretty good standard swap in full stainless. They seem to be well respected and a mate of mine has some fitted to his ZX6R F no problems. I was forewarned about delvic prior to rummaging about for stainless steel pipes. Then, after trawling about on MCN ninjas, i found a gem of a full system - £140 SS heads and Ti end can. The crossover pipes on the headers were welded elegantly, the finishing was perfect, fitted like a glove with no blows, although i needed to stretch the headers a bit to get it to fit and line up, but wasn't too difficult - after the 3rd time of taking the exhaust off, it became a 1 man job to put it back on. Crossover pipes between 1&2 and 3&4 definitely help boost the low/midrange for me - ideally i'd need to get the bike jetted for the full system but throttle response seems crisp and responsive. Swona exhausts - i think the fella left to make mercury exhausts?
