Delkevic Exhaust Road Test: Royal Enfield Himalayan 

I lived about a mile east of Walmart; you're giving me flashbacks!

Putting my Delkevic on tomorrow 🙌

Love your vids by the way keep going 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

Hello Ron! Mike White here again! I hope all is very well! Congratulations on having your act together enough to be putting out content; interesting and well-edited content at that! So, I have narrowed my choice down to the same Delkevic 13" Stubby Oval exhaust that you selected. For the extra 100 or so, I will purchase the entire system but keep the stock header pipe with cats installed for the time being because of concerns regarding passing NYS inspection and because of the two mini heat shields on the stock pipe. I understand there are folks out there experiencing "boot melt" from the direct contact with the Delkevic pipe. A correctable problem for certain as I cured my Harley of the issue, but it can be a pain in the foot and wallet while finding an attractive solution. Regardless, my question for you regards carbon fiber versus stainless steel. The carbon fiber looks MUCH better, IMO, than the stainless, not that any of us motorcyclists are concerned about how our bikes look, right?! However, I have heard and read that the carbon is more susceptible to scratches that cannot be polished out and cracking in worst case scenarios. But, again, it sure looks awfully darn purdy! Just wondering if you considered any of these issues and/or others in deciding whether or not to go with the carbon fiber, and if you would mind sharing your thoughts on the matter. I do recall you saying in your install video that having owned Harleys, you wanted a black exhaust for a change. Again, that stock header pipe could be DIY painted with 2000 degree Farenheit ceramic coat paint from Krylon and/or Rustoleum and would look great! BTW, I think the stock header looks fine as is, but black would likely look good as well. Peace and Happy Trails!

I've only recently started watching your vids , very enjoyable and straight to the point . I ride my Himmy down here in the tropical heat of Northern Australia . Looking forward to more vids . Cheers .

A beautiful part of the country for sure! The Delkovic sounds good. I told myself I would leave the Himi stock when I bought it. Resist.....Resist lol

just got my Delkevic stainless 8in muffler, cant wait to get it on and hear the sound. but really bought it for the less weight.

What made you decide to go for the carbon fiber option? I've watched some of your videos and noticed you ride a lot of unpaved roads. I'm concerned that if the bike drops or a stone hits your exhaust, the carbon fiber could break, whereas a steel option would only get bent. I know the carbon fiber exhaust is a bit lighter, but still, the risk of getting a hole or crack in it is a big concern in my opinion.

Hello Sir! Just purchased a '22 Himalayan! Like you, I want to upgrade some things including the exhaust. I really like the complete Delkevic systems or even just the slip on as you chose. Big discount buying the complete system versus buying the header pipe and muffler separately. I have been researching high heat spray paints because, like you, I would like to keep the original header pipe, especially if I can successfully remove the cat material near the top of the pipe. Krylon has a high heat primer that must be used with their high heat paint, one of which is clear for those of you that may want to keep your original pipe and exhaust looking new(er). The paint actually contains ceramic and protects up to 2, 000°F. About $15 per can. Supposed has great adhesion and scuff/chip/oil/ water resistance. Just wondering if you are still thinking of spraying your header pipe and if you've decided on a paint yet. Thank you.

Soo much wind. 😃
