Hey, if any of you are near Littleton, there is a exhaust manufacturer called delkevic there, Their pipes look pretty quality oriented. http://www.delkevic.us/ I saw an ad on CL for a muffler and then looked on ebay to see what else the manufacturer had. I think their ebay account is http://stores.ebay.com/delkevic-us09?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 I was thinking about contacting them for dimensions of their pipes etc, and thought they may make something to spec. Then, why not bring a bike in for them to try on. Their prices are great too. What I would like is the pipe that connects at the engine and have it run back to where the left pipe hooks up. Then any of their silencers should fit. Any thoughts?
When I was racing my ER6N ( Kawaka) I bought a set of Delkevic pipes and muffler from Delkevic UK. I ended up not using them as they were too long and too narrow to be tuned properly to the cam profile and weighed way too much. They were well constructed but just plain wrong. Looked like they just copied the stock pipes and made them out of better satinless. Welding was good . Muffler was almost as heavy as the std one and in an ER6 that is HEAVY.. If you want looks ( and possibly reliability because they were much better materials and manufacture than the stock) buy them. If you want performance and less weight avoid them. BTW they had 1hp LESS on the dyno than the stock junk muffler. I ended up with an arrow header and a tyga muffler, but you won't get that for our Husky ( yet?)
I dunno, I checked out some of the specs and they are light and well built from what I can tell. How long ago was your experience? I'm seeing some of these weighing in at 4-5 pounds, and I think the cans on now are about 16 lbs. Definitely worth a look. I just took a look at the profile of the bike you mention, that is a twin 650 that stock came with 71 horsies. The Terra is a 650 single with stock ponies @ 57. Seems that the ER6n has fairly good performance parts stock, where the husky has much more room for improvement. So, instead of spending $800 on a can, $200 may give a small performance gain, and a big weight reduction. dumping the two exhaust and using one, that is a big difference dyno or not. And I surely would hope they would do some testing, I can always use more grunt, vs rev.
It should work volume wise. I'm running a KTM640 Staintune muffler on a 1200cc Tenere and haven't noticed any ill effects at all.
