Good news, and a belated "Yes", I did use it. Be sure to post some pic's and/or any videoclip and your feedback. Install was pretty quick and painless. Also take note and leave clearance with the center stand and chain. Then, periodically check for any movement.

This was previously identified in the following thread:

arkaos 8" looks so clean on that bike and shows off the engine JMO

I will try to get some pics up. Computers are not my forte. Writing this post is about all I got!

Went on easy. Took my time (about 2 glasses of wine). To be honest I'm not sure I would have noticed the centerstand fouling the chain unless it was brought up here. Thank you!

Great quality. I'm tickled at the price too.

Been a loooong time since I've had an I4 with an open pipe. I forgot how they sounded. It's definitely louder (sans baffle) but nothing like the Bonneville. I have a little burbling on the decel but I kinda like it, reminds me of my old 74 Camaro with glass packs.

I would recommend this outfit to any looking for a little more character from their CB.

Yeah, no pics. Why can't you just copy and paste? Too easy? Computer gods like the struggle? I used to have photobucket but we all know that story.

I installed mine week before last just before the Fourth of July. I installed the Delkevic's 9" Oval on my CB1100. The installation was a snap and fitment absolutely perfect, including the link pipe with the center stand stop. For the money ($180), the materials, mirror finish and sound quality are outstanding! Surprisingly, its really not loud but rather has a deeper tone that kind of sounds like a subtle growl (baffle still installed). Almost no noticeable popping on decel and/or throttle response hesitation. Stock ECU map seems to like it. Just what I was looking for in an aftermarket exhaust.

Here's a photo of it on my all black (std) bike.

Where did you purchase your muffler?

Thanks

Not to zombify this thread, but have any of the Intrepid people who installed one of the Delkevics ever done so without the cat? im kicking around the idea of the 8" or the 14" , and worried that once I get cat-free headers later on the 8" is going to be way too loud.

[Bheezy27403_imp]

Cat in tact. I believe you have got a good reason to worry. I can imagine the 8" would be quite loud. (like to hear it though!)

I’ve been eying the delkevic header. With the cat, this bike is just too quiet for me. I have the longer muffler so even with the header I think it would be mellow.

The Delkevic price looks cheap?

I kinda like the stealth quietness of the OEM exhaust arrangement.
