Hello everyone
New to the forum & need a little help / advice
I have a 95 with a micron pipe. Sounds awesome!
I also have a 99 with a jardine rt-1. I hate it!!! Sounds stock!
Micron is out of business & as far as I can tell never made a pipe for the 5th gen.
Question is does anyone know what else I could use that would sound similar on the 99. I have listened to everything I could find on you tube & best I can tell the 2 brothers & the delkevic are the closest to the micron
Any ideas,experience, or suggestions??
I had a two brothers pipe on my 93 and really liked it. It does sound different on my 05, but that is/was to be expected. All the same, I would still go with a two brothers if I had to do it all over again.
I have both a Delkevic and Two Bros for my 99. There really is no contest that the Two Bros sounds better. The Delkevic is damn good for the money though.
However, I thought mello dude had a micron on his 98?
EDIT: just remembered these. Same phone took both videos so you can get a good comparison.

I have a carbon fiber Micron on my 2001, so they did make them. My GF has a carbon fiber D&D on her 2000 and it sounds good. I had an aluminum D&D on mine for a while and thought it was obnoxiously loud. The CF's seem to have a better sound and aren't obnoxious.
Yeah, micron did make a cf exhaust for the 5th gen. You can see it in my gallery. They did make a high mount but it is quite rare and the low mount can has a larger inlet diameter. The micron can has an allen bolt hidden in the outlet, making for rivetless disassembly for repacking. Also, I noticed the perforated center exhaust tube is slightly heavier gauge than other cans that I have repacked.

I've also been casting about for a decent quality Hi-mount to replace the old and (TBH) pretty crappy Hi mount I have on my '98 bike. I keep seeing Delkevic advertising Hi-mount systems for the 5th gen VFR, but they never have a picture with the exhaust mounted (which makes me a bit suss...)
At one point I actually asked them to send me a photo of one of their Hi mount systems fitted to a 5th Gen, but they claimed they didn't have one (a 5th gen, OR a photo of one with a HI-mount ;)
Have any of you US-based blokes seen a Delkevic system on a 5th gen and, if so, what were your impressions of build quality/mounting etc?
Pics would be great...
I have a high mount Staintune and it sounds fantastic. I also had dual Staintunes on my 93 Ducati supersport and i am sold on their quality.

I have a Delkevic low mount 13" tri-oval on my '99. I think it sounds better than the Staintune I had on my '98. I've put video clips of the sound with and without the baffle onto Youtube, in case anyone's interested in having a listen. Please keep in mind that the videos were taken on my iPhone, so the sound quality could be a bit better.
Oh... I almost forgot to put up a photo:

I have a DAM exhaust, sounds great and they ship all over the world.

Sorry for the mobile links. Hopefully they will work on non-mobiles...
