Project 39 Gets A New Sound

Work continues on Project 39, a 1993 VFR750, and I recently got the new Delkevic slip-on muffler mounted for a sound check.

I purchased this muffler/mid-pipe kit via eBay distributor delkevic_us for $310, including tax and free shipping, and it soon arrived beautifully packaged with a flawless finish. Delkevic offers a few distinct variations to fit the 3d-gen VFRs, including high- and low-mount options. To help with my decision, I contacted the distributor and asked which model would be quietest, as I was going for looks over volume. I also wanted a high-mount to show off the 8-spoke wheel and allow me to completely eliminate the passenger peg brackets, further cleaning up the rear of the bike. Available in polished stainless steel or carbon fiber, I chose the shiny look as I think it goes well with the '93's Pearl Crystal White. I settled on the SL-10 14" round style with removable baffle (DB killer) with a claimed weight of only 4 lbs. and a 12-month warranty. The kit is complete and simple to mount to the existing exhaust collector (same as the original muffler) and two existing threaded bolt holes on the subframe.

With everything in place, I hit the magic button and the V4 burbled to life. I immediately liked the deep tone and not-too-loud note with the DB Killer in place, where it will remain. I'm anxious to hear it on the road, but here's a sample in the garage:
