VFR800 Delkevic Exhaust - Best sounding exhaust for VFR!!!

[@HeroRR]

I know I pronounced it wrong. Originally I thought it was pronounced del-ke-vic (the correct way) but I heard other people pronouncing it without the KE and figured I was saying it wrong lol. Anyway guys, I know I pronounced it wrong, you telling me for the 18 millionth time isn't going to add to the conversation XD

[@АлексейРоманов-ю2щ]

Hello. Which one a model?

[@voided76]

Trust me when I say: The less exhaust you put behind your VFR, the better its going to get. It will Only get deeper at idle, and more maniacally angry once you push it into Vtec. Get those baffles out of there. Don't worry about a power commander. get a RapidBike RACING module. take it to a dyno and get it tuned for 93octane. the difference is unbelievable. -1T on the front sprocket, and hold on. :) Also: If you want more VFR roar pop the seat, prop your gas tank up, and remove/cap the flapper valve in the airbox. It's a cheaty lil bit of kit that quiets the intake down for noise regulation. once you defeat that flapper valve, you will hear the engine properly bellowing out of the intake stacks. In full tuck, it will make your hair stand on end.

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

Michael Spence my 05 with 2bros sounds mild. my 91 with nothing but a resonator sounds like a NASCAR engine :)

[@josephallen3504]

after a beautiful ride in a driving rain , 65 to 75mph, I just thought (many have suggest this is my main problem), I'd come over here to watch some motorcycle porn. I'm all into keeping the vfr stock, you know, I don't want those guys with the power to take money out of my budget, to fucking hear me coming, but, your comment is making me re-think everything. Thanks so Much, aye Matie.

[@IsntHeThat0neGuy]

thank you for the knowledge

[@eric62backstrom]

That's great advice. Thank you! I'm buying a 2003 on Sunday and it's bone stock. I'm excited to make it my own!

[@voided76]

@@eric62backstrom I don't know if you're going to have the tim eto really look, Check the charging harness on the right side of the bike under the fairing, make sure it isn't burned up. Check the fuel pump relay harness by the battery, the main fuse and holder, the wiring in VFR's is sussy from the factory, double check that it isn't roasted or on it's way to it. can save you some headaches. Ask if he's replaced the rectifier with an FH020AA. if he has it's a sure bet to get it. The wiring, charging harness and recto is the VFR's only real weakness/problem area. Lemme know how it goes. :)

[@scswat]

I actually installed the stainless on my 2006 after seeing this. Absolutely impressed.

Shehan Hewawasamge omygod I was just gonna comment that

[@joaomatosgraca1013]

That's what she said, unfortunately. lol

[@TheReapersSon]

Best sounding exhaust for the V4 engine in my opinion were the Two Brothers pipes. I had one on a '98 and with the attenuation insert removed, it really allowed the small-block sound to shine under acceleration and in tunnels :)

[@esundeee]

I puttet on Two Brothers on my 2002 VFR800, and the sound is awesome. I just love it. Greetings from Norway‘s beautiful‘s roads.

[@nightwolf667z]

I also picked up an '03 VFR800, but it came with a Two Brothers Carbon Fiber exhaust. I have to say.. it doesn't matter the exhaust, but the V4 sounds almost orgasmic. I have a hard time keeping myself within federal legality due to the sound.. the bike noise just tells me to make it happy. It's only happy around 8k rpm and by that time, the authorities wouldn't be super happy with me.. Videos are hard to do a proper exhaust justice - my gopro didn't grab half the moistness that makes me weak in the knees when I rev up my '03 VFR. Definitely in love with the V4 though.. glad you're happy with it!

[@sstroh08]

nightwolf667z I think its all V4s. I love my Vmax sound. Love Aprilia sound. I have just discovered this bike but thus far love it too haha.

[@josephallen3504]

you should write for motorcycle porn magazine.

[@DouEditz]

Great write up 😆

[@ljf9562]

delkevic is actually a British company with offices in the US, Australia, and Japan

[@mybikegarage1040]

The Staintune exhaust was the best slip on for the VFR. The riser pipe looks like SS to me since it yellowed pretty fast. Chrome turns blue, yellow and golden colors all at once. I didn’t see any blueing. Sargent seat isa good seat and $50 is a steal.

[@KgiMedia601]

Sounds like a r1 and rsv4 noise had a baby and it was this

[@rabidev.4938]

R1's cross plane is overrated dude. It doesn't sound like a v4. V4 sounds more distinctive.

[@gerrymcerlean8432]

I could be mistaken but I believe Delkevic are a British (UK) company whose exhausts are made in China (not USA).

[@andyjamestf]

Man I’d love my VFR a bit louder but I brought it for the look of the standard pipes.... loving the channel

[@GyroPyro121212]

Andy Drives You can gut the standard mufflers for a bit more sound. Then you keep the factory look.

[@Szlejer]

It's pronounced as DEL-KE-VITCH... Regardless of the price this exhaust sounds the best on the VFR VTEC by far... My fully SS70 system is ready to be installed. :-)

[@vazquezeliezer]

Thanks for all your videos, just purchased the Delkevic Minis for my VFR and completed my mods thanks to you!! I noticed the difference right away on the mods. Waiting on the new pipes!!

[@HeroRR]

+Elliot Vazquez that's awesome!!! Enjoy!! :) I should have the install video for the pipes released tomorrow.

[@eduardosilva7304]

Thanks for the video, I was thinking on buying this delkevic model to my soon-to-be-mine 2006 VFR, and now I know I want it!!!

[@loekbhagaskara2481]

Dat V4!!!😍😍😍😍😍

[@bobbyleescott]

being a delkevic dealer i had no idea how these sounded and now im going to buy one since it sounds close to my tuono

[@garysouthwell5762]

Music for motorcyclists, Mellow yet Magical!

[@SteveMuir]

I put a Remus on my VFR 2001 and had it on the dyno and it ran better with the stock ECU than with the Power commander. Dyno guy said the fueling was perfect with the Honda stuff . I made 5 more HP ( max reves)with the PC on it but drank fuel and hunted at highway speed.

[@reneerussell7823]

Just saying goodbye to my Delkevic on Honda CBR500R - hit while parked and totaled. I am going to miss that pipe. One of the best Christmas presents ever! .

[@akathesquid5794]

Federal Road! that road from 28 to Miles Standish, both directions, is fantastic - especially Sunday mornings...no cars 70-80mph strafing runs Cans sound great

[@marcov4190]

That engine sounds soooooo good! Beautiful motorcycle!

[@caysonjost1528]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the video! I only owned my VFR for a week before I added this exhaust, an absolute must! Your video really helped me see how it would look and sound on my bike! Thanks again! :-)

[@HeroRR]

No problem, that's why I make these videos! Stay tuned for some mod how-to's I am making for the VFR

[@caysonjost1528]

I'm going with no baffles, there are enough Harleys around here that are way louder and less refined sounding. Already did the PAIR, flapper, and snorkel mod, which was helpful. FYI, the red silicone isn't grease, it's sealer. It stays on the pipes to help seal any minor gaps in he pipe joints.

[@xMotoHoon43x]

had it on my 08 r6 loved it

[@morrisfoston2]

So happy you rock a VFR!

[@jermins6441]

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for another exhaust system for my 2000 VFR. I'm definitely going to look into this one. It sounds awesome.

[@SteveMuir]

I have a Remus carbon on my 2001 and it sound nice.

[@lollipopjuggs]

I have heard that the laser is nice and Akrapovic makes one (slightly expensive). At the time I had narrowed it down to Leo vince and ixIl

[@lc1966]

I run a late model single pipe with a custom bracket that took 15min to fab up - The result was less weight and lower centre of gravity for less than $300 AUD

[@Coldfin9er]

I had a set of Scorpions on my old VFR800 (A6) clamped to a set of MOTAD headers (decat) and the thing sounded awesome. Not sure if MOTAD ship to the US but if they do, it's worth while picking up a set. PITA to fit though, especially the rear bank!

[@charliesparta7947]

My 95 vfr has the Vtec that opens up the minute I start the engine,impressive really!!!!

[@eric62backstrom]

Isn't the whole point of VTEC to have "variable" valves? Meaning they open at a higher rpm allowing more efficiency at idle and lower rpm, and more power at higher? What's the point of VTEC operating at idle?? And wasn't 2002 the first year of VTEC? You have some explaining to do, sir.

[@mansellmovies]

decided to buy the Carbon exhaust following this video. You got me man. I've been pondering on wether to buy these for ages and I'm thinking ? What the heck its only money right! Purchased from the company last night and are being delivered tomorrow. Will probably fit them ASAP. I doubt I can wait till the weekend. Thanks for posting..... Looking forward to the new look and especially the sound.

[@HeroRR]

Awesome! Enjoy! :)

[@Treizez34]

Well played on the delkevics

[@gardbee]

Just installed this on my white 2009 vfr so fucking sweet with the baffles out

[@jean-sebastiencomeau5102]

Im sold :) well actualy i was already sold because i had these beauty on my fz6. I will buy it for my vfr next summer for sure. ;)

[@andrewburns9741]

Had a similar set on my 2006 Honda blackbird sounded very cool but bike didn't run perfect put stock ones back on after around 4 months later and noticed a massive difference in how smooth the bike ran just didn't sound as tuff

[@dylankittle5079]

Love the exhaust

[@izatizatruachhakodesh3069]

I love that sound. AWESOME !!!!!!!

[@wolfg.1867]

Thank you for the best video on this exhaust

[@jerrylenhart5717]

Are the cans the 8 or 9 inch?

[@LevvyyEdits]

I have a delkevic on my R6 and I love it

[@iVisionX01]

I have it on my SV650 too, sounds beastly and quiet enough at idle.

[@LevvyyEdits]

Mines honestly annoying on long rides, even under 5K rpm; but that sound when it's ripping oh my god.

[@fattymcgee123]

beauty sound. like the looks, too. put a yoshi on my bandit, lost a good 8lbs from the ion cannon that was originally on there. that's really where the performance comes from. wish they still made the same VFR from.your year, the current vfr1200 is ugly as shit compared to yours.

[@sniperv25]

The crossplane R1 also has a nice rumble.

[@darrenjones1704]

After watching your video I installed the same exhaust on my VFR. They sound great with baffles installed, crazy without (I guess I'm old). It also seemed to clean up the jumpiness at low speed. They won't wake the neighbors in the morning but people in traffic will definitely know you're there.

[@TheAuthenticIsOutThere]

Beautiful output😎

[@BigTimeRoamer]

Isn't the heat that comes out of the pipes going to affect the rear lamps? Like cause them to melt or something, because the pipes are right beneath them and there's a lot of heat coming out of them and going straight up. I recon that the tips of the pipes are build in some way that they might redirect the heat straight backwards but that's for when you're speeding. Whilst standing still how's the heat going? Doesn't it go up, straight in the lamps? Sorry if I wrote wrong and you don't understand, I`m now a native english speaker. Thanks in advance.

[@pnoyryder68]

Great video man but to me Delkevic is ok. No more so than my 2Bros. The one I'm still searching for as it is no longer being sold is the FMF Apex exhaust. If you haven't heard it yet, be prepared to be blown away

[@kd4ysi]

What year is yours brother I'd be curious to see how my 4th gen stacks up to yours I think there's only 5 hp difference

[@Poffy64]

I bet they love your pronounciation of their name, DELVIC!

[@HeroRR]

lol i thought the K was silent, two things i'm terrible at, remembering people's names, and pronouncing words. lol

[@Poffy64]

HEROrr Wait until you mount headers without cat, that sound is even better. Will post sound file soon.

[@DigitalSubset]

HEROrr Lol give me an example when a k is ever silent😂 I can't think of one of the top of my head.

[@DigitalSubset]

Know, knack, knew, nevermind

[@thestar111]

I have Delkevic down pipes and Scorpion end cans with the baffles out installed. I have a power commander with a map to fix the fueling for the decat.. Really needed with that setup! Your oil light keeps flashing on? are you low on oil?

[@russi461]

Mint video and thanks. The exhaust sounds good but looks like a boy racer would have on a nover 1.2 merit.

[@marktansell9399]

I got one .....sounds awesome 😍

[@marcinbera1842]

Have you found worse max speed with Delkevic Exhaust? Sounds much nicer than stock one but wonder if you have noticed some performance difference, e.g max speed.

[@Jmuney22Trike]

how come you didnt do the full system? im looking into doing this on my bike i see 615$ for full system

[@MrButtons252]

Sounds really good. Is it just me or does the VFR800 sound 10x better then VFR1200 ? You are also selling Hondas :-)

[@jaymoto2459]

Sounds like an RSV4. 👌

[@ridered300]

I'm thinking of getting either a VFR800 or VTR1000 for my next bike, currently riding an old v65 Sabre. I've heard the best vfrs are 98-01 because in 02 they switched to cam chains and added weight for emissions compliance, and some people don't like vtec. I love the sound of both, but like the vfr sound better. I know the vtr is quite a bit lighter, and the weight is one thing I don't like about my Sabre. What's your opinion on those 2 bikes, and what's the best years for them?

[@sugarrfree]

Go for sv 1000

[@vazquezeliezer]

HEROrr, I just replaced my VFR Delkevic mini, Looks great and sounds awesome! The fit was just right. Hey, I was riding and when I stopped at a light and the VFR shut off? I turned it back on and proceeded to go home with no other issues. Any idea what may have happened?

[@HeroRR]

Not sure. That's happened to me twice now in the 4,000 miles I've gone. It's like the bike stalls out or something. Doesn't seem to be a big deal though, just fire it back up and carry on.

[@vazquezeliezer]

HEROrr Thanks, if you come across another Sargent seat let me know. I have a 2007 VFR 800.

[@joeyv2325]

Elliot Vazquez Mine does too. Seems to only do it to me when I forget to rev match going from second too first gear. Not sure though.

[@caysonjost1528]

You fellas may need your starter valves adjusted/synced if it's doing it when fully off throttle.

[@hergocsatornaja6330]

When vtec kicks in...

[@christiansoldier1465]

[@starmanovich]

“Well isn’t this a wonderful surprise.” Lol

[@NEMTAY]

Sounds great but my 07 VFR has a pair of Leo Vince SBK's and they sound awesome!!!

[@JohnSmith-uf9re]

Did you put a Power Dommander 5 on your VFR

[@DavidKnowles]

Does it alter the performance?

[@GlennFrost321]

There is another exhaust. Leo Vince! Sounds at least as good and with the tapered cone tips better suits the vfr look!

[@mr.m325]

Del-vic ? or Del-ke-vic?

[@moderatefkr6666]

So how should you pronounce Delkevic? Is it actually Del-ke-vich? I know they're made just down the road from me and I could just turn up at reception and ask, but...;)

[@superbracey]

Don't sit on the fence... do you like this exhaust or not?

[@HeroRR]

Of course!

[@superbracey]

@@HeroRR Just kidding. I'm pricing them right now, partly based on this review.

[@SalemCBR1]

almost an identical design as the Black Widow.

[@HeroRR]

I like the black widow exhausts too, wanted one for my old 750 before I sold it. Very happy with the delkevic though

[@kedge7807]

Hard to see in the video but, but your charging voltage looks way too low. I would strongly recommend a VFRness before your stator and regulator rectifier burn out!

[@HeroRR]

The voltage is measured through my license plate light, so it's my charging system under load. I just got the wiring harness replaced and now it reads 13.1 when cruising around... I will be doing the mosfet rectifier in the near future to help prevent any issues.

[@kedge7807]

HEROrr good call! it's not if but when the OEM R/R fails. My 2002 nearly left me stranded this spring when the R/R failed and burnt out the stator.

[@squirrel6687]

All, the R/R is not the fault or the addition of a VFRness the ONLY (if) remedy. It is the shoddy connectors that allow grit and grime to create a high resistance in the connectors and heat up making the regulator work harder heating everything up. Next thing you know it begins a cycle where it heats up more and along with the creation of smut from contamination, creates even more heat. After so many cycles, the connectors burn out and take out many other components. Shorten the wires and try weatherpack connectors that seal out dirt and grime, maybe even solder the connections. Most of the explanations I have read do not address the science, the why--just a bunch of guys that jump from this or that part to the next as some kind of social club. R/Rs are wear items, period. Give them a good connection and monitor voltages, maybe even the phase voltages. Beefier models with higher current capabilities will raise the derating curve of output current vs temperature and give a longer life with all else equal. The mosfet design is good but the overall topology is still similar to the standard. Switching semiconductors are still semiconductors. Anyway, just a budding power EE and proud VFR OWNER of both fifth and sixth gen examples.

[@eric62backstrom]

I need this

[@gerrymcerlean8432]

It's pronounced DEL-KE-VICK. I believe the company was founded by three British guys - Del (Delbert), Kev (Kevin) and Vic (Victor).

[@jellebel222]

also for cbr 500r

[@jellebel222]

looks the same only 1

[@matsclaes6136]

Realistic conclusion income plane install Supreme element cry certainly

[@crockagater929]

They are not made in USA, the pipes are made in China. I bought a set thinking they were made in USA but when I got the box everything was labeled made in China. I still like them, but was very disappointed. I thought I had done my homework before buying.

[@DigitalSubset]

Crockagater Are they any less quality?

[@crockagater929]

The pipes are nice, the downpipe discolors quickly, but the only issue I really have is the rubber strap under the hangers. It cracks almost immediately. I thought about getting a nice silicone strap to replace them, and may after they completely fall apart but would get them before installation if I had it to do again. So quality is good, just marketing is bad.

[@ICON-11-]

I heard multiple delkevic exhaust systems on vfr800s and when you crank the throttle it turns from throaty to raspy (like a riced out civic raspy). I just picked up my friend's 07 dark candy red vfr800 and I'm sure as hell not modifying the exhaust, it sounds a million times better stock imo
