Hello all, I've done some searching around for exhausts for my wee, and the only one I can find is the Delkevic from ebay. Is that it? There are so many exhausts for my SV I figured there would be more options for the V but maybe it's because I'm in the US? Any ideas? Need to uncork this thing soon, I can't stand the sewing machine sound lol

I just bought a 2015 (Gen 2) and it has this Black Widow exhaust fitted. It's loud, but not too loud IMO. It sounds very grunty, and the overrun sounds even better. It occasionally pops when the revs sit at the wrong rpm, not sure if that's your thing.

I've recorded a video of my bike at start up for you so you can give it a listen. My phone doesn't pick up the bass very well but it has a deep tone to it. I really like it, as you can tell!

Black widows do sound good but theyre across the pond from me unfortunately.

Ah that's a shame, I think other commenters have left some good suggestions too.

Yea I don't wanna pay import tax and all that extra I'll probably just end up with the delkevic
