To see inside a set of stock pipes, check out Ian Sandy's sit and click on the picture of a stock (opened up) exhaust

http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/GT750_f ... -A55#pipes You can see the way the stock baffle plates are spot welded to the inner half of the pipe. You can also see the sound absorbtion at the front of the main pipes.

Hi all,

Does anybody know(apart from the sound) how to tell the difference from Original & Delkevics? The reason I ask is I purchased a set from some one who assured me they were original but just required chroming and have finally got round to fitting them to my bike and they sound tinny, so I don't want to waste money on chroming them if they are Delkevics!! I'm sure some one mentioned on here there is a way to tell the difference. PS All 4 have the wording stamped on them but I'm sure Delkevics do too.

Hi Baz,

I think I may have confused you. Is there any difference between the original Suzuki Exhausts and the Delkevic ones? appearance only!!

Not a lot Jeff fitted 4 setts now and sound and appearance was good. the original genuine sets are better quality having smoother chrome but were not polished on the inside of the pipe. also if it came with hangers Delkevic chromed them.

So are you saying the modification Delkevic have done is a big improvement on sound?

Hi Jeff
What i have found that stands out a mile are the seam welds on Delkevic are much neater maybe due to the fact probably done by a robot ;)

Thanks Dave,

I'm now convinced the spare ones I purchased are not Delkevic as looking down the barrel ends of the small pipes with a torch I can see the mesh that is evident in original Suzuki pipes. I need to get some dents repaired then off to the chromers. The pipes that are fitted to my bike now are getting a bit worse for wear. When I took them off recently a piece of mesh fell out the L/H small inner, see photo :o

Regards Jeff
