New Delkevic muffler - edillen1_imp - 05-06-2020
Received my new Delkevic 9” oval muffler yesterday and installed today. Very easy job. Took 20-30 min max at a leisurely pace.
Tried it with the baffle out and installed and ended up keeping the baffle in. Still a nice sound, just not as boomy at low rpm.
All in all, a very nicely manufactured system. Especially for the price (181.00 direct).
The only two minor complaints I have about this bike was the quietness of the stock exhaust and a clunky second gear (Improved with chain adjustment and wax lube on chain).
As much as i am a fan of air cooled Honda’s, the 4 cylinders just don’t have the sounds of twins (although my 77 CB750 with Kerker 4-1 sounded nice). But this does a decent job of improving the sound of this bike.
I definitely would recommend this pipe for its combination of sound, build and especially value.

I just installed a 14” stainless Delkevic and like the sound and the looks.

Hi, just saw your post. I am going to add the complete Delkevic exhaust soon, headers and the 14 inch round muffler. I am not doing it to gain any whopping power, I just want to free up this engine some and make it sound better. I currently have just the Yoshimura muffler on the OEM headers. It sounds good, but I still do not and never have liked catalytic converters on bikes. The CB is a relatively clean engine and stifled enough by the Honda engineers, in my opinion. After I switched to Motul 10W-40, AV300 in the EX and 7100 in the 2013 CB, I lost almost all of the clunks in neutral to first and 1st to 2nd. Supposed to be great oil, and completely synthetic. Definitely noticed a smoother running bike.
