Two Bros or Delkevic?

[racer1735]

I am in the market for a slip on exhaust and had narrowed it down to a Delkevic, which would run me about $240. I’m not wanting to spend upwards of $500 for a slip on and had seen several satisfied Super Tenere owners who either have or have had this particular exhaust However, Revzilla has a version of the Two Bros slip-on on sale for around $310 and free shipping (if it wasn’t for shipping charge I would purchase a MIVV or GPR can overseas). Was curious based on this price if the Two Bros can is worth the extra $100 or so over the Delkevic?

Depending on what you are looking for. Without changing the headers and remapping your ICU you will not get any additional power advantages. So, I assume, the goal is to make the bile lighter and improve the looks and the exhaust sound (arguably). So, check the specs and decide accordingly. One caveat: Oval Delkeviks are known for melting your left rear blinker. Search the forum for complaints. To avoid it you have to shorten the pipe a bit and install it as low as you can. With that said, I love mine. I had it on for about 10K miles now.

The Delkevic is selling on Amazon for $214.00USD. I've seen it around that price on Ebay. That's shipped. I have Delkevic. I had issues at first then got it figured out and I love it! All exhaust slip-on mufflers are going to perform about the same. It's just a matter of sound. I have my Delkevic with the baffle out. Sound is no problem for me. Make sure whatever you get....the baffle is easily removable. Weight was a consideration for me. No matter what you get....it will be much light than stock and more free flowing. It's an Adventure bike...so looks do not matter too much. None of them are (that) ugly.

I just purchased a two brothers. Does the S10 need a fuel programmer or can I just add the slip on without any harm to the bike?

If you are set on the Delkevic I have one in excellent conditio that I will let go for a very fair price. Send me a PM if you are interested.

I also have a Yoshimora R4 that I'm getting ready to list.

I know there aren’t any real ponies to be gained with a slip on. Just looking to lose a bit of weight (me too!), get a better (but not necessarily louder) sound and get something that looks more appealing than that butt ugly plastic cover (CF heat shield is on the way).
I thought the melted blinker/reflector issue was solved with the drop link on the mounting bracket?

I managed to do it with the supplied braket, just shortened the link pipe and installed in the lowest possible position. Also, Delkevic guys don't ship the shorter oval versions that caused the melt-downs. Unless you call them and ask for a custom kit. The longer ones, in theory, shouldn't do any damage since their "muzzle" protruding beyond the blinker.

Found the old thread: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=17951.75

I’d seen that thread. Figured something either wasn’t installed properly or pointed the right direction. I’ve contacted a Delkevic regarding the 14” can. But haven’t decided yet on what brand/can I want
