I am very pleased that you share these kinds of videos. My 03 vfr came with a stainless delkevic slip-on. I just ordered the headers yesterday and really needed this in order to do it myself. You folks are truly amazing!
Hi, thanks for sharing that great feedback, glad to help and glad you are going to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty and get stuck in, you'll enjoy your new exhausts even more knowing that you've fitted them yourself. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any problems, good luck my friend! :)
@@DelkevicExhausts I just took my baffles out yesterday thinking it would take hours. It literally took 5 minutes. I'm loving delkevic more every day!
@@DelkevicExhausts so, I installed my headers today. Pretty easy install. My main concern was one of the link pipe clamps was the wrong size. That really set me back. I had to bend a couple peices of scrap to fill the void and snug it up. Getting the center stand off was the worst part. Reverse thread on the right side. Sounds epic, though. Can someone send me a clamp, please?
Having owned 2 98 Gen 5 VFR800 I’ve always been on the lookout for a “better” exhaust system. My first experience with Delkevic products was their version 1 ss header system for the VFR. Needless to say, the fit was ok but the end result was not. I had exhaust leaks and the center stand no longer folded properly into its folded position. 21:21 I reinstalled the oem pipes (which, after having refinished by JETHOT COATINGS) looked great and fit like a glove! Version 1 was relegated to the parts bin and later sold.
A couple years later, probably around 2017-18, Delkevic announced their version 2 for the venerable Gen 5 VFR. Like the above video shows, the are a bit different but go on fairly easily, look good but what’s not shown is the interference with the proper operation of the center stand and close proximity to the lower fairing on the right side. But there are no exhaust leaks, clamps and springs are, I believe, ss. All in all it’s a good upgrade to the normally rusted oem system. By the way, did I see an hex head bolt holding one of the collars in place? It’s not unusual for a exhaust stud to back out or even break especially if one doesn’t use liberal amounts of penetrating (mix equal parts of ATF and acetone) agent for better results.
Thjanks for taking the time to write your comments, all feedback is good :)
VFR800 2000, Solved the 5K flat spot by getting the volume of packing right inside the muffler.
Well if that worked for you great :)
Thanks for the video my good man! The zorst looks great, be a 1/4" larger diameter then stock and decat collector make the bike cooler running and better power/economy. Just fitting mine up now waiting on a shock rebuild to finish- great street bike vfr 5th gen.
Glad you like it :)
Don’t forget to remove the original copper gaskets from the cylinder head exhaust ports.
Thanks :)
Highly considering a 5th gen vfr for second bike. I have your exhaust with 350mm can on my fz07. So far been excellent, was not aware of the silicone onto the stainless steel or clamps but does not appear any issues.
It's good practice to lubricate them, but if you tighten them slowly you can of course go without.
@@DelkevicExhausts so much easier a squirt of silicone- be mad not too!
Great video. I'm just installing this kit on my 2001 but not sure what the small right angled bit of metal is for, there doesnt seem to be a use for it.
Anyone else notice the front brake mod? Looks like the RC51 fork and caliper mod to delink the brakes.
Thanks, glad you like the video :) Not sure which right angled bit you're talking about, sorry. Since you asked I'll confirm the bike is modified, it has the Nissin 30/34 calipers from the CBR929, all oe brake lines replaced with braided/kevlar hoses, linked brake system completely removed (incl. distributor and 2nd slave cyl), rear caliper pistons bridged, the master cylinders have been changed to match the new calipers, the forks are from a VTR1000F, the rear shock is from a CBR929. None of this however affects how the exhaust fits :)
Just finished fitting the system, wasn't too bad but the access is horrible haha. Only issue I have is The springs on the collector to pipes 1&2 have decent tension when attached, but when I add the springs to pipes 3&4 there is nothing. The springs just rattle around loose and aren't holding anything in place?
Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say, sorry. I fitted that system and as you can see, it went together as expected. If you really that it is fitting as it shouldn't, please call your local office to discuss it with someone. :)
What fuel tuner do you recommend with full system and high flow air filter? 2015 VFR800.
Generally a Fuel Commander is all you need.
My 06 vfr800 came with a delkevic slip on, but later on. I decided to install a delkevic headers. After the installation, there's smoke coming out. Is this normal?
Yes, there is a small amount of residual oil in the downpipes to protect the metal in storage and this will burn off aften a short while.
@@DelkevicExhausts Yeah I realized that after awhile haha. as well as an improved throttle response and smoother rev ranges after the installation.
so with this replacement, did you 'remap' the ECU? or can you run it with the current stock fuel map? am considering this for my 2000 honda VFR, i have a module (not a power commander) to select different maps...which one will work best? i guess it'll be a dyno tune in the future.
No fuelling adjustments were made, all our exhausts are developed on stock bikes. The 98 W and 99 X models (99 in the video) actually run slightly rich from the factory and with the Delkevic exhaust fitted tend to run with a perfect AFR, the 00-01 models have the O2 sensor and the ECU will be able to adjust accordingly. You can squeeze more performance or economy or throttle response if you do tune it on a dyno or tweak a map but there is no need to.
I wish I had a video guide when I installed my system hehehe. Question - if I bought the standard height full exhaust kit and then wanted to change to a high mount, do you sell the high mount link pipe on it's own?
Hi, yes we can sell any of the parts individually, we do this to enable customers to replace parts if they are ever damaged etc.
Great video, but how do you do the bypass for the Catalytic converter
The bike in this video did not have one fitted. If your bike has an O2/Lambda sensor, then you can insert that into the new downpipes.
330 ohm. 5 watt resistors in the O2 plug from one wire to the other
I wish you had a kit for the 7th gen (1200F), nobody makes a full system 😢
Hi, the '7th' gen VFR is a completely different bike and in a different class of bike really. It was released as an intended replacement for the CBR1100XX Blackbird rather than any kind of evolution of the VFR800, it has no common parts with the VFR800, it is shaft drive etc. It has the same engine and frame as the VFR1200X and you might find options for that bike with commonality because the VFR1200X was a popular bike. We and many other exhaust companies decide which exhausts to make based on how popular the bike was and if there aren't many on the road, then there isn't much point in spending a lot of money develping a systen for it. However, I consider the VFR1200F to be one of the best bikes Honda has ever made and it's a real shame more people didn't buy it. Honda made some bold decisions with that bike that deserved to be rewarded with better sales and with it, the confirmation of the design direction they had undertaken.
@@DelkevicExhausts I agree and love my bike, just saying I wish you guys made one, I understand the fact it wasn’t popular limits aftermarket options but there’s a lot of untapped potential in that motor, Ariel Ace has proven it.
Hope you didn’t take my comment as a complaint, it was just a wish.
@@DelkevicExhausts Think you've gotten your facts wrong Mr Delkevic ... 5th / 6th / 7th /8th Gen are all 800's, your'e confusing the VFR1200 as being the 7th Gen which it clearly isn't, it's a new VFR model on its own.
It is a new model on it's own, if you read what I've written I do state that however it seems that the wider world at large call it the '7th gen' VFR, whether that should be so is a matter of opinion, personally I think it shouldn't be described as the '7th' gen VFR but it seems I'm in the minority. For the record, I did check my facts before writing that reply, as I do with all the replies.
Do you provide hardware to mount the collector to frame using the welded tab on collector??
Yes everything you need is either included or already on your bike and will be re-used. The bike in the video is a pre-cat '99 model and doesn't have the tab on its collector.
Are these pipes the same I.D. as the stock pipes?
Hi yes, they are.... we get asked that quite often but there isn't quite enough demand to justify going to the trouble of developing and making a larger bore system, sorry.
@@DelkevicExhausts I figured they were. I think it was 2Brothers that had a full system with bigger I.D. back in the day. Of course trying to fit bigger pipes in an already tight space pribably isnt worth it any ways. Thank you for the response.
Hello just broke one of the smaller clamps what size are they?
Please contact the sales office and they'll get another one out to you :)
Will this exhaust header system fit the gen 4 vfr750. 1997
The 750 is a different engine entirely to the 800, I would think not.
@@DelkevicExhausts yes I know the two engines are completely different, I just wanted to know if your entire system would have fitted both models, now another question, I did email your company to ask if you made a header system for the gen4 750, I’m still waiting on response.
What to do if you have the catalic converter version in a vfr800fi
The exhaust is actually made for cat versions, there is an extra bolt to mount under the bike and the O2 sensor of course, otherwise no difference.
What is the torque setting for the nuts please
Please use the factory/Honda recommended torque settings for any bolts/nuts that we don't provide the torque settigns for.
Everything would be great if it wasn't for the fact that you can't buy one tube, only a whole set. I have a bent tube no. 3 and 4 and I would like to replace them. They informed me that I had to buy the entire collector ....
That's correct, we sell the pipes as a set, they are manufactured as a set we don't split them, sorry.
Sound test!
Hi there, the video is just a fitting guide, we already have videos here on RUclips showing how all of our exhaust options sound starring this very bike... although you could argue that you can never have too much of the sound of that V4 engine, on balance this video is long enough as it is. :)
@@DelkevicExhausts About 4 years ago I bought a set of Delkevic cans for my VF750F. They look great and sound awesome, so yeah, can't get enough of that V4 sound.
Glad you like 'em! :) Always great to hear from satisfied customers! :)
That was great now do the 4th gen RC36II 1994-97 please
It's pretty much the same process, this video kind of covers all the VFRs.
Good video disappointed he didn't star the bike wt,,,,
Hi, we didn't want to start the bike because it would have meant that the exhaust system could not be sold afterwards. The system we used was one from our stock, we of course perform regular quality control checks to test the fit of the exhausts to ensure that our production is consistent. After filming, the exhaust system was removed from the bike, thoroughly cleaned and then re-packaged and sold.
You explain things poorly watch the entire video before you attempt a install you tell us at the end of the video to put the smaller clamps a little bit lower but then don't tell us what to do with the bigger clamps would have been nice to know to put the little clamps a little lower when he was putting them on to begin with
Thanks for the feedback, most people are very happy with the video but you can't please everyone and it's good to know all opinions.
