    Quick question.

    Has anyone dealt with Marving Exhaust?

    I have an 86 VFR750, Mufflers look and sound like crap. Even my kids say it sounds like a tin can going down the road. I found a company in UK that sells exact mufflers for the bike, a bit pricey, but I am not the most mechanical person. Any feed back would help.

    Thanks

    Seems like you could graft on a nice D&D or Kerker can and forget about importing British.

    In any case, i'm willing to help :smile:, so gimme a call when you attempt to install it.

    Check out delkevic and GPR options.

    Delkevic seem to be a cheap option. I have a GPR hi-rise and am happy with it.

    I suppose by now its impossible to find a Kerker White tip. I had one on my 86 back in the day and I swear there was never a finer sound than that pipe/engine combo!

    A quick search on fleabay showed heaps of options. Are you after a full system?

    Mufflers go as cheap as $150ish up to $350ish for 2 brothers (one of my favs).

    There are full hi-rise systems for just under $600 (maybe the ones you have seen).

    Install is fairly straight forward.

    Now you just need to decide how much coin you will spend on this..

    I would suggest making your own....one guy used bandit 1200 cans on his or something with the sound you like...just go to your local auto store and grab some tubing, find a welder to tig it up and VROOM VROOM, off u go. Save yourself a few dollars.

    Just keep an eye on Ebay as well as the classified here.

    On Ebay search VFR700 as well as 1986 VFR750

    Be patient and something will come your way.

    I found myself a nice Yosh system recently...almost mint.

    Just keep an eye open
