I don't see the C14 listed on their site. Was hoping to look at picks before deciding.

Okay, I may be hooked. Will there be any tuning required to run these? Is there any difference between the Tri-oval and Round other than looks?

Is this just 100+ dollars spent to get rid of the ugly can, or is there actually a performance gain?  I will be honest, the price is too good to pass up, but is it worth it? It is difficult for me to tell based on reviews, and the few videos I have seen.

Ug.

Like most all muffler replacements when not replacing the headers and/or pipes and/or cat removal, it is cosmetic, weight reduction, and noise amplification/alteration.  Anything else is negligible and/or placebo.

Howdy,

For some of you that are interested this is the description on the one I bought.

Kawasaki ZG1400 Concours 14 08-12 18" Polished Stainless Steel Muffler Exhaust

•  Delkevic silencers are handcrafted from the highest quality materials to enhance your motorcycle in both performance and looks. We guarantee to improve your riding experience at an unbeatable price.
•  Delkevic 18" oval silencers are made from high grade 304 Stainless Steel and polished to a mirror finish. With all hand welded parts and careful attention to detail they are superior in both looks and sound to the factory silencer.
•  This is a 5 piece set - 1 Link Pipe, 1 Silencer, 1 Strap and 2 Clamps.
•  The silencer can is 18" / 450mm in length.
•  The weight of the silencer is 5.85 lb / 2.660 kg.
•  All Delkevic silencers have a 12-Month Guarantee.
•  No rejetting or remapping is required after fitment however we always recommend a dyno test after fitting replacement parts to your motorcycle.
•  The sound of this set up is slightly louder than stock, with a very nice, deep, throaty, smooth sound. Give it a bit of a growl.

Hope this is helpful

J.

Waiting for it to come thru the mail/UPS I think.
Hope to have it by this weekend so I can install Tuesday or Wednesday.
I plan on putting it on trying it then removing it to paint or powder coat black.

I got the Tri-oval carbon baffle which knocks off 14 pounds. The quality is alright, not top notch, but good for the price. I removed the inner cone thing to give it some more noise. The sound is great! Just enough to hear the RPM's until the wind noise takes over at speed. I did Dyno the bike after I put it on but I don't think the numbers are right. The peak HP was 146 (STD) calculation,  but I didn't do torque and rpm. The calculation was STD not SAE, so I think the HP is around 5% higher than SAE.  A mechanic friend and I were guessing it may have added a few HP, possibly as much as 5hp. I was going to post a review but figure now it's not really needed. Just a few comments and photos about it. I definitely recommend this slip-on. At $180 this is a bargain. I think a Two Brothers is over $400.

Gone through two tanks of gas so far since putting my pipe on and am seeing almost 10% increase in gas mileage.

Makes sense, less weight, more hp, same commuting. Less gas needed to get it done. Heck, at that rate the pipe will pay for itself in about 18,000 miles!
