I'm having the same questions. I'm looking at getting into a nice sounding exhaust without paying up the a** for it. Anyone with experience with the delkevic cans? I was also looking at the D&D. Wow so confusing.....I had an M4 on my SV and it sounded awsome and now again I have to chose. Help!!!!!

I've just fitted a full Ti Moriwaki system to mine, with high level zeroes- I don't think you can do any better.
I am over the moon with them, the fit build quality and sound are all spot on.
It has also given the bike a completely clean spread of power from bottom to top of rev range. Outstanding stuff, if difficult to come by.

Colorado. From my trucking experiences, I had the inkling to do the rockies south to north and back on my bike during a summer. Did you ever take the time to travel up and down the rockies?

Not yet, but this is my first comfortable bike, My SH is converted to a naked. I'm planning on doing some more riding this summer and mostly in the mountains. Good riding there!!! I want to get a good sounding exhaust so all the other mountain drivers will hear me. So the delkevic may win due to the fact that I just got the bike and don't have a lot to spend.

I'm assuming you're referring to a bafflectomy. This mod would be no different than putting aftermarket cans on. Both may cause poorer performance. We need to know if there is anything done to your needles, air mixture, TPS, airbox, PAIRS, etc., to be able to tell you what to expect from slip-ons or a bafflecomy relative to performance. Now, if you don't know what has or hasn't been done to your fuel/air/filter/pollution, then you can start doing the bafflectomy in stages and monitor how it runs and how the plugs look as you decrease the exhaust restriction. Maybe you'll get to the sound you're looking for before any negative effects present themselves.

yeah if you're not comfortable tearing into the carbs,etc. you may want to see if there's someone on the forum that lives nearby to give you some help. It's not hard if you a little mechanically adept and can follow the Honda shop manual.

well im thinking that I will give the Delkevic cans a try. if they are a good buy then I will post the results. I have had good exhausts on past bikes so I will test them. Looks like that is a good option for me, at this point anyway.

Don't be skeerd
I did the bafflectomy 2 weeks after I got my Hawk, June 1998. I have never regreted doing it. Never down on power and the stock cans look pretty good. It sounds great to me and I have had positive coments on the sound. Tried different tweeks on the carbs over the years but always returned to stock. Still runs great 12 years later! I spent the $$ for new cans on comfort mods. A simple search on the term "bafflectomy" will get you lots of advice.

I am also new to this forum but i followed the instructions in the DIY performance section on how to do a bafflectomy. I will tell you this you will NOT be sorry. It was super easy to do and the sound improvement was AMAZING. It is by far the best sounding bike i've ever heard with the exception of other vtrs.

old thread back to life
i picked up another hawk a few weeks ago. oem mufflers. kinda thinking about slip ons. saw the delkevic today. they were on a used vfr at a bike shop. i thought they looked pretty darn good. the tig welding is very well done. i looked down the center core and the perforated tube has some bends, or indents that kind of stick into the exhaust flow a little bit. unfortunately i did not get to hear the bike.
