    I recently added a pair of delkavic stainless end cans to my 6th gen. It has brought my bike alive !!!
    The bike now sounds as it should & I wish I'd done it sooner - lol
    Even my local mot tester liked it..

    Here's mine with Delk's. The hardest part was getting the stock boat anchor off. Online vids suggest it should just slip out the back but after 30 mins of frustration I dropped the plate assembly to get enough wriggle room.

    Mine was exactly the same - Getting the original exhaust off was a challenge - the downpipe was securely attached (almost welded) - various cold chisels & a large hammer were required!
    The Delk went on with only one issue. I have the luggage rack for the Honda hard luggage & the pipes just touched it so I used a angle grinder to remove 1/2 inch from the end of the twin pipes.

    I did play with the adjustment before doing this but its a unseen modification & doesn't affect anything.
    The Baffles were removed - & extremely unlikely to be put back !!
    Really happy with the quality of the downpipes & the sound is immense. - I'll add a file next week - underground car parks are MENTAL.....

    I’ve never been that plused about aftermarket exhausts but since I bought my VFR last week I’ve been thinking about this exact exhaust.

    God that black and white paint scheme looked great, and they only sent it to you Aussies! Beautiful bike mate, really.

    where did you purchase the unit and approx how much?

    I also want better sound, not louder but better if you know what I mean. Any other recommendations?

    It is defiantly LOUDER minus the baffle & just sounds awesome - especially on the overrun - pops & bangs, & spits & growls...lol.
    I will see if I can get a sound meter out this weekend.
