    Finally after a year of lusting after it, my Delkevic 225mm (9") muffler and high mount link pipe came in! Can't wait to put it on. I'll post pics and vid when I do![​IMG]

    I have a 14" carbon fiber high-mount on the way for mine as well; I actually ordered it by accident thanks to dodgy contact detection on my phone, but it was something I'd planned on getting for a while. Can't decide if I'll return it for financial reasons, or throw it on and take the inevitable heat from the lady over it :yell:

    The high mount is the way to go. I currently have an 18" delkevic on, so I'm just geeking thinking about how loud this bad boy will be.

    Well, mine came in today, and the first thing I noticed was that despite the invoice being correct, they included a low-mount link pipe for a Suzuki SV650. I was able to call their customer service line and get it taken care of, but I'll be waiting until next week to actually install my pipe. Lame sauce.

    Yea that's the first thing I checked as well and thankfully it's good. I made sure it was high mount like 10 times on the phone before I ordered. Which size did you get?

    I got the 14", in carbon fiber. According to their site and general consensus, the 9" and 7" ones are loud as hell, and I don't like the look of shorty exhausts in any case. The 18" ones seemed a little large and too quiet, so the one I got seemed like the best compromise. I was looking forward to installing it this weekend, but I guess I'll have to be content with tackling the brakes:eek:hwell:

    So I got it on this weekend! It took alittle convincing, BUT it looks great now. The mounting bracket they sent was alittle weird and I had no clue what to do with it. So I ended up mounting it in the screw hole the rear cowl screw goes in to, then hack-sawing the plastic under it to make a hole to go through to the top of the muffler. All-in-all it only took an hour.

    I love it! Such a good look and a huge fan of the stainless steel. This thing is loud, but is so much lower and more aggressive than any sport bike I've heard. She's beautiful!

    Bought the exact same exhaust. I couldn't figure that bracket either. I mounted mine behind the the rear peg mount. Doesn't look near as clean as yours, but I didn't have to modify anything.

    It does look so much nicer with that rear wheel opened up

    Bigger isnt always better. :tongue:

    I have a shorty can but its hacked up and the inlet is too big. Was thinking of getting one of these. Id recommend going carbon if you have throw on luggage. Already melted enough click connections and nylon.
