The exhaust can looks of good quality, but I'm sure the header is of thinner steel than the OEM. System sounds pretty loud with or without the baffle from vids I have found on youtube, but me thinks that will be just fine. ) Don’t buy the 9”! Too loud!

Ride365 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 My full system Delkevic 14 inch carbon stubby arrived yesterday, got it all installed today since I am off work Fridays. Must say that the fit and finish is excellent overall, very good tig welds on the pipes, oval silencer looks as good as the much more expensive systems I've owned in the past. Left the baffle in, must say that CP3 music now is proper and sounds about perfect to me. This is the steal of the century for the quality, they are a bit like Kia and Hyundai in terms of the bang for the buck and overall performance.......Kia and Hyundai run with the big dogs now, and who are the ones laughing at the naysayers. 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 1, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 The longest & lightest non-carbon can (CF has poor impact resistance) I find and like is 13.5"? It's also the only one I looked at that had a dyno chart. https://delkevic.com/full-system-to-fit-fj-09-2015-2017-tracer-900-2019-2020-with-13-5-titanium-xoval-muffler-and-stainless-steel-downpipes/ This ones 14" and looks decent too, and probably the most durable. https://delkevic.com/full-system-to-fit-fj-09-2015-2017-tracer-900-2019-2020-with-stubby-14-stainless-steel-oval-muffler-and-stainless-steel-downpipes/ I could live with this also, it all depends on their apparent felt loudness. I always wear ear plugs but still want a relatively quiet effect. https://delkevic.com/full-system-to-fit-fj-09-2015-2017-tracer-900-2019-2020-with-13-5-titanium-xoval-muffler-and-stainless-steel-downpipes/ Is it a pipe dream (pun) thinking any of these will not become bothersome on a long, tiring haul???

It was Badass loud! Way too freaking loud! Even with ear plugs it was annoyingly loud. The 14” can is still badass looking, has a really nice authoritative sound and has reduced both weight and more importantly the heat that was killing me. If anyone wants a cheap 9” can I’ve got one!

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted October 1, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 Define "authoritative" LOL Every takeaway dB readings? I know tonal quality and frequency (mghz) also play a keypart in apparent loudness and appeal, or lack thereof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride365 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Yes very authoritative at idle and when on the boil, amazingly doesn't drone nor is it that loud at cruising speeds.......very Goldilocks like for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Baffle out for me by the way, and I cannot speak for the MT09 but that hanger bracket is installed differently on the Tracer/FJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride365 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I have tinnitus badly and it doesn't affect me at all, I mean the ringing never stops anyways. ☹️ Got in a 250 mile ride yesterday and I love that exhaust system, I am also noticing less buzz/vibes as well and know that isn't a placebo affect.

Thanks for the input But for even 600 bucks + my labor on top of it, I don't know if I want to risk it. I wish there was somebody local who had the 14" exhaust I could get up close and personal with So to speak I did about 250 yesterday as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
