Title: Full System or Slip on?
Post by: MNgs500 on June 10, 2014, 03:04:16 PM
Hi everyone I'm currently looking for a new exhaust and am looking at delkevic systems. Since their pretty cheap sound sweet and come in various sizes and types. Im just debating to get full system or slipon? What are the benefits and for money to expections whats worth it?

Full systems are made of shittieier material than the stock headers.
The flow from the header is enough for a stock head/motor, so you're fine using that. Just slip on IMHO.
Cool.

Cool thanks also one more question about slipons. I found a guy locally witha new delkevic for sv650 would I be able to use this system on my bike. With the of course slight mods. It would be a lot cheaper and I can do all the work.

Link pipe for SV650 is probably different, but muffler should be universal.

Buddha is right on the money. OEM headers are double-wall construction while aftermarket headers are single-wall. This makes aftermarket headers lighter but also increases the surface temperature of the metal, which tends to burn off header paint leaving exposed metal to rust ~ looks like a 15 year old exhaust system in one or two riding seasons. If you HAVE to get a full system buy stainless steel.

Nah i think slipon is the way to go is there a way to make a link pipe since the muffler is what i want and it is half the cost new.

you could always go to fleet farm or some other place with exhaust pipping with the measurements for the opening of the new pipe and measure the header opening and get like 2in- 1.5 inch step down pipe or whatever size you need and weld it together. now if i was going to do this i would have it fit over the top of the old pipe and inside of the header if possible. doing about it this way you will have one solid exhaust system tho.
