Cat Removal - Twin Delkevic Mufflers - Speed Triple Mods & Maintenance 3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- (Full exhaust installation starts at 3:00 mark includes necessary oil change.) Going through how to delete the catalytic converter on a Late 2007 to 2010 speed triple with the more difficult midpipe/y pipe cat set up (as opposed to 2005 to early 2007). To complete the system, I also unbox and install a pair of twin 14 inch Delkevic mufflers. (Triumph Speed Triple 1050 Delkevic 14" Stainless Round Muffler Exhaust 05-10 SL10)

That was a fair bit of commitment. Especially given you weren't sure everything was going to fit. Sounds pretty special
Well this kit is specifically for the 1050 speedy so It was gonna fit lol
🥹Thank you.. Seriously that first 3/4 rear shot of the new cans in place was magnificent. And yes you’re right the sounds it makes is quite glorious. Also thanks a bunch for the ending ride out that gave the much needed release, lol. Really dig the rides through your city, just the right amount of hooliganism, almost video gamesque if you will. Anyway thank you again for the solid entertainment👏
Right? I find that the 3/4 view of the single arm side is just ridiculously good looking. Having grown up in the dank side of town, theres no more comfortable place for me to ride!
That's cool hearing the no-cat without mufflers. Thanks. I took mufflers off my 2013 1050ABS and (with cats) it sounded more like racy mufflers to me than expected.
I'm working on sourcing some minimally sized mufflers to fit onto the stock midpipes, mostly because no mufflers at all will attract negative attention visually ha. Red and blue lights
this was awesome. to answer your oil drain plug washer is we are doing a survey, I do not replace but i do clean it and sand both sides with the finest grit paper in a figure 8 pattern to get a nice surface
Great video, well explained and shot!
Those pipes sound angry. I love it! Great city riding scenes too. 👍🏾
man - those sound and LQQK fantastic.!!
I ordered a delkevic for my tiger 1050. Glad to see I made the right choice. Sick man
Sucks that we can't get a discount on them from comoto tho
Word, only exhaust comoto lists is Arrow and they're talking about a 6 week wait... and even then I bet before the 6 weeks are up, you'd just get a refund cause they cant get it.
Delkevic! On my Tiger Sport 1050 too... Sounds fantastic.
Oh dear he's caught the wheelie bug. Remember the foot brake if the bike ever gets away from you! XD Love the new sound btw, and nice choice keeping the undertail.
Thanks Ella; with this bike, you don't have much of a choice! 🤣 Noted. Honestly I am scared shitless of balance point, I won't go beyond the point of the weight dropping the bike back down automatically. 😬
@@Theillestrator1050 Honestly same. I spent a few months working on wheelies, and I started kissing balance point and, yea its scary as hell. Ive mostly dropped the wheelie stuff though, tried hanging out with some local stunters and those dudes take their shit hella seriously and I'm just, not about that. Still fun to clutch up my little cb from time to time.
Main reason I tried to learn was so I could manage the occasional power wheelie without getting scared.
Right, I remember you saying that
Good video, I did the same to my 10 bike with the cat, I've got the arrows. You need to find some roads with some nice bends 😊
Just saw you fly by Atlantic by the lirr. You got to slow down to meet up with your fans. 😅 nice to see you having fun in this cold weather
YESSSS! finally new loud exhausts! Got myself the same brand for my vfr800 vtec, sounds monstrous even with the baffles! definetely the best purchase i ever made for my bike. my mechanic told me that delkevic puts the baffles that way so that the exhaust hole looks big
Yo I can imagine how good the VFR sounds...that bike is in my top 5 for best sounding bikes easily. Glad we're both happy!
Even with the baffles in you don’t be sneaking up on anybody. 😊 Sounds great!
Lmao very true. Need a little extra noise round here.
@@Theillestrator1050 oh I’m not judging. I’ve ridden my bike and a friend’s Sportster with a Vance and Hines exhaust around LA. I’m not a “loud pipes save lives” kind of guy but in a busy city I know it makes a difference.
Looks great and the sound is music to my ears.
Glad to hear you enjoyed!
@5:36 - you want the heat shield there. I took mine off to make it "satin" ( not shiny) I forgot to put in on and went on a long ride- my leather boots were feeling the heat.. not comfortable!
sounds amazing
sounds sick!
looks awesome 👌
Sounds sick and looks even better. I would leave the baffles in though, it might be too loud without.
Day to day you're probably right. Still gotta get the comparison for people who want to buy it. I swear there's not much content for these bikes out there...
@@Theillestrator1050 The comparison will be much appreciated I'm sure. You should make a series on mods for this model. You'll end up being good reference. Nice.
sorry man i just cant ignore the random toilet. Jokes aside i love your speed striple
Lmao thanks
Awesome vid, but I must say, I'm going deaf with the loud pipes. Anyway, ride safe, god bless u.
What do you have?
@@Theillestrator1050 oh, not me, it's all the loud pipes around me...🤣🤣🤣
Looks Sh!t Hot 'nd sounds even better M8
Thanks Duke!
Sounds wonderful. The streets of you city look crappy as hell :D
glorious :D
Indeed lol
Awesome man, thanks for the video! On a scale of 1-10, with the baffles in, how loud is the bike? I have a 07 1050 and have been trying to figure out an exhaust solution.
So it's funny because when my dad stayed outside to hear it, he swore it sounded the same as stock when at idle and given low revs. If anything, it sounds more rich, not terribly loud so I would say in comparison to stock, maybe a 5 averaged out across the rev range compared to stock. It's tasteful basically. Even more so if you keep your cat.
The pipes l👀k and sound great……
Thanks Joseph
What did you coat the headers with?
god DAMN
Ha!
13:41 sounds like a bit of clutch slip?
It felt more like the 11 year old cracked tire letting go in the moment. Never had the clutch slip in the torquey lower gears, in fact the wheel comes up through first and second. So the clutch wouldn't slip at high gear right?
@@Theillestrator1050 I’d test it on the Highway to be sure. Could be the tyres like you said.
You need to go to sleep, dude.
I'd argue that I sleep too much 😉
Sound great with the baffles!
Great job, 👍👍
Thanks Jon
Whenever I see a thumbnail with big beautiful cans, I click.
Lmao, very well worded.
Looks / sounds much better . You can give your Exhaust Copper Washers a little more Life by Annealing them . Clean them , hang on a Wire and hit them with your Propane Torch until you see the Colours run , tnem , leave them to cool , or dunk them in cold Water .
Thanks, yeah I read that that's something folks do.
But I want to replace the hardware as it's rusty so I'd have to tamper with the seal again anyway. May as well just replace it outright
I worked at a Kawasaki dealer parts counter, and the oil drain plug crush washer was pushed hard to increase "line items per ticket" which helped sales.
That said, I always buy a bag of 50 copper washers off Amazon for every bike I get, and I usually have a bike for less than 10 oil changes!
Lmao, good old UPT. Right. Maybe I'll have this bike long enough to replace that crush washer.
Freaking killer. Pull those baffles though, let it sing!
I definitely will for the comparison video
Yeah I replaced the exhaust when I had an 08. Headers to mufflers. It was kind of annoying to do. So I appreciate this video and your patience. Now I am back in the fold with an '16 R. Feels good. I am sure Triumph has made this process even more annoying.😂
The big mouth cans are awesome looking. Delkevic makes a really nice product. Dont like all these shorty cans out now. Without the baffles would be a bit too much noise. This is probably just right
Interesting video, lot of work there. Sounds great. I see you have different wheels and single swing arm - is that standard for the US. My 2010 Triumph has two swinging arms.
Hey man I have same year speed triple and I was wondering where did you get mid pipe cat delete? And other question how much those Delkevics weight?
nice socks buddy XD, if you want a few pops and bangs check if your bike has a small idle control valve. my 250 has a black plastic knob next to the tank that controls the idle. it's fun in winter to turn it up abit. Downside is my oil and sparky changes needs to be done sooner from running rich.
So did you flash the ecu, I see the bikes revving to 10,400 or so. Did you increase the rev limiter slightly?
No tune needed?
I have scorpions on my triple with no baffles, I would LOVE to hear them side by side!
New crush washer every time... maybe it's unnecessary, but never had an issue so I guess it's worth it. I have the same bike...looks and sounds great!
I replace my washer every 2 times.. but thats cuz I'm stupid and don't know any better
Stupid question. Why remove the cat? Why not just add the cans and be done with it?
Sounds like a beast. Definitely louder than my Arrow lowboy.
sounds great, those cans look much better than the stock ones.
I think so too. I like the wide exit look. Very ducati monster esque.
The straight pipe sound seems quieter than the arrow low boy I have on my bike!
Absolutly beautiful looking and sounding S III.
Looks and sounds awesome! So much better with bar ends too!
Did you have to remove the oil and water radiators to get the pipes out?
Not to open a can of worms... but is pre-filling really required? Asking before I end up making a mess (the filter on the MT-09 goes sideways) 🤣
Regarding the crusher washer, I think it's good practice, but in my last oil change I couldn't find where I put my spares... so I reused it :P
Lmao oh right its right there behind the headers sideways right? I know from 2J's bike. apparently you can skip that step if you have to...
goddamn that sounds crisp! super loud, do you think you'll rock it with the baffle in or out? I have an 07 CB919 and the aftermarket pipes w/ no baffle are migraine inducing lmao. ride safe brother!
I'll have to do both because I gotta get the comparison video. But I reckon after I use both and give each a listen, I'll be able to decide which one I can stand more lmao
I think Delkevics are exceedingly loud. I put one on my DRZ and it became too painful to ride!
I think you're gonna be fine with the baffles in.
Lmao, I can imagine on a thumper like that
I’ve used those crush washers until they got as thin as tin foil. They get real wide too. I always use a torque wrench at 14 lb/ft regardless of what the manufacturer specs. No leaks.
Nice. I typically don't even use torque values... Last time I did, I stripped it out on my sv1000
@@Theillestrator1050 If tightened properly, it doesn’t feel tight enough.
Agreed about the torque spec not feeling tight enough. But I torqued my oil plug after bottoming it over a curb. There was a slight seep that was taken care of by torquing it to spec. Whew. The impact was a glance off that bottom fore of the plug and the plug itself.
I wish you had time to make vids every week again
exquisite sound my dude🙂 can't wait for my akrapovic to arrive for my bike ;-)
Enjoy!
My guy used to work at target,, should be at Nasa
I think the "boomerangs" are to move the clamps around the mufflers further to the back to get them more in the center....
But I could be wrong
Ahhh, you may be right. Though would it be a good move to tweak the natural angle like that?
Man in all honesty you got me looking at this at this bike... 🤔 Can I turn this into a sport tour... Alright Google let's research
Lmao, I guess that's technically gonna be the Sprint 1050
Sounds like it has modern Peashooter Exhausts now with the off throttle burbbeling... keep the baffles to stay within/below legal/enforcement overt attention.
RacerTV's own 'My CX650 Cafe-Racer' with Peashooter Exhausts sounds amazing too, ..both your 1050 and his CX-CR have that 60s Ferrari* 6 cylinder sound now !
*or insert other classic highly tuned sports car brand.
I had to look up the CX650 you referred to....and holy hell that thing sounds RIGHT.
@@Theillestrator1050 for a CX650, she sure sounds like a '65 racer..., plus 20+ mins of audible heaven in that vid...
Nice. So, the K100 is gone?
I found a used CRM (chain reaction moto) set of silencers and mid pipe for my late 07. It is legit my favorite sounding inline engine ever. It sounds absolutely mean. Friends all say it sounds sick when we're on the road.
I always change my washers. much rather a 50c washer than the paranoia of an oil leak. Also, why delete the cat at all? I never understood the desire to do that, especially considering that the bike is mapped for that backpressure and you would have to flash to get (anywhere near) a good map in the ECU for the changed flow characteristics. OEMs spend a long time on the dyno dialing in a good map, any aftermarket one is never going to be anywhere near as good. /endrant
That's fair regarding the washer.
Regarding the cat, that's easy. More exhaust flow, it's the reason why when you get a race exhaust there is no cat to be seen. The arrow catless mid pipe would be the best option but it's unavailable. Deleting it to help the bike breathe is the next best option.
Fortunately these triumphs are easy to remap with tuneboy or tuneecu for any modifications that you do. There are pre made maps selectable to match the specific bike. I have to disagree about being unable to dial the bike back in. The results are out there and proven.
@@Theillestrator1050 I think our definitions of "proven" are very different. Fluid flows are extremely complex, less restriction in the exhaust is not always a good thing without holding other things constant. For example, by deleting the cat you have removed a reflecting surface that causes pressure waves to bounce back upstream, this has consequences for gas exchange especially during valve overlap. While at certain RPM and load conditions this might give you better performance (more max HP), the low end torque/part throttle operation are probably severely compromised. Also without an engine dyno and instrumentation to verify, you have no idea about in cylinder temperatures/pressures/knock... not ideal for reliability/longevity. There really is no replacement for a factory exhaust or a factory developed race exhaust/map package. Most aftermarket exhausts and tunes are half baked at best and dangerous at worst.
Sounds great but you should definitely get tunecu for it. Definitely gonna need a tune now. Even one of the posted ones will be better then nothin. I miss my bikes. Stupid winter
Yeah I was thinking the arrow high mount tune. I have a coworker with the software and cable to install it
@@Theillestrator1050 just buy it yourself it’s so cheap when comparing tuning. I think I’m less than 100$ cdn into the software and cable and can use it for other things like diagnostic codes and whatnot. Definitely worth the investment
Used to sound like a gentleman
Now it sounds like a gentleman on a fight
Lmao!
I have a 2007 S3, so I am obviously biased... But man... Nothing quite as badass as the sound of a well tuned Speed Triple! 🤌🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥
Solid video man
Always change the washer notice the build up around plug and on your finger ( Mercedes tech )
When you say build up do you mean the oil or the dirt?
@@Theillestrator1050 yeah in see amgs blow up over a bad oil change it's only a few second to change it
You made me love this bike! Yeah, the Delkovic exhaust, sounds awesome! 💥💨
Agreed with the other comment about the torque spec not feeling tight enough. But I torqued my oil plug after bottoming it over a curb. There was a slight seep that was taken care of by torquing it to spec. Whew. The impact was a glance off that bottom fore of the plug and the plug itself.
This makes me miss my old 2005 Speedy, really should get another one.
I have a 2006 that's been in my study over the winter,...Done so much to it now and its so polished its gleaming !,..Roll on the summer !
I got an 05 and it’s a beauty
Overrun pops are like heroin.
Lmao, within reason yeah I definitely agree
Good job! You should consider flashing the ecu with tunecu if you haven't done it yet. It is very simple and makes a big difference.
You need Tuneecu in your life check it out man man btw I love my 08 st675
Yes, I got a coworker with a cable and software. He has a speed four
@@Theillestrator1050 that's good just wait till you get to play with that it's a game changer btw you can use a cable or Bluetooth and any android device tablet is better if you wanna mess with afr or whatever but most of the custom tunes are pretty good
I replace the oil drain plug washer after about 10 /15 times using it. Just watch how bad your torque it down and them damn things actually lasts forever. I just do out of paranoia.
Yeah I figured as much lol. I feel like maybe it's a liability thing.
@@Theillestrator1050 engineers like nah you can keep using it then the lawyer got involved was like no no no no have them change it out every time🤣
@@Theillestrator1050 by the way I really like that gurgle on the dicel. There's a lot of guys who want that pop and crackle. But for me when I hear that gurgle it sounds like a beast just waiting to pounce
The look great
Hope you wear a mask..that stuff is nasty
Yes I did
With baffle in I thought it sounded freaking amazing! I wouldn't remove the baffles.
I agree, it's pretty good! Still gotta get that comparison though lol.
Sounds mint mate, i've got the 2011 street triple with Delkevic fitted.
Sounds good
Good video!
Wicked🤘😎
Love it
Nice
Very nice! You play that musical instrument pretty well. Stay safe, you ride in some sketchy areas. Would love to see you in western Arkansas, you would be blown away by some of our roads.
Thanks, having grown up in an industrial zone, it makes me oddly comfortable to be in desolate, cramped spots like this because there's less traffic to hit and less people to complain!
👍sounds great!
Thanks for watching
Sounds great! That triple sound!
Man that new exhaust system is amazing, love the sound
ive had delkevic on two bikes, very nice for the price
Same here, I have a system on my CB550 as well. Good stuff.
Beast mode activated! Love your videos. How do you make your camera set up look so engaging/ thrilling to watch?
lol thanks Well I have a GoPro hero 10 black and I shoot in 4K superview. Its probably just the good quality
Sounds beautiful! 😎😎🏍🏍
Sounds awesome!! Love your videos!!
Harley’s use an o ring on the drain plugs, about every ten oil changes I change the o rings
O rings? Interesting.
Having done this my self. Use the wood hole maker
Does that make it all the way through to the otherside of the cat?
@@Theillestrator1050 little by little. It’s the circular one with the bit in the middle
Yeah I know the one, so you just use that and nothing else?
@@Theillestrator1050 that and a big ass drill. Because it takes hella torque to cut through it
I call the lights on the tach the fun meter. You were having fun haha. Sounds great man
Lmao yeah, I gotta adjust them or something because they come on before redline!
🤘
🤘
Glad to see you back making content.
Happy to see youre still watching!
