Looking for some assistance Levin, Kentucky got an 06S.T considering delvik exhaust slip ons, call so possibly removing the air box snorkels. Freeing up the air a bit looking for someone who is experienced in these modifications and would be willing to assist me. Please reach out really like the aftermarket. Slip on exhaust notes. But don't want a lot of decel popping, anybody experienced on these topics? Please reach out. Thank you, we'll pay for some assistance.
 
I've noted several threads here over the years about this exhaust.
Since I like the stock pipes very much, I was never that interested to read them.
While you're waiting for some replies that are more helpful than this one, you might try using the Search function here if you haven't already.
Some here really like them, and have them working just fine.
But look up the proper spelling first, as I'm pretty sure you don't have it right.
It might be "Delkevic", or similar.
That's about all I can offer, sorry.
 
There's a fella on the youtube who made a few videos about the ST that I found interesting. I don't agree with everything he's concluded, but that's okay, we're all different folks and can look at things from different perspectives. He has a video here that talks about some of the modifications you are thinking about. I'm of the opinion those snorkels are designed to flow air better than having nothing there to funnel or direct the air at all - that doesn't mean they're optimized for the best performance if you start changing air filters and exhaust, but i do believe they will flow air far better than not having them at all. No harm in trying it out if you're curious though.

I put the Delikevic slip-ons on my bike and I really do like them. They are a little louder than stock, but not by too much (I kept the baffles in). To my ear, they sound throaty and nice - but some may disagree. They absolutely will accentuate or amplify the decel popping. It seems to be a common belief that most aftermarket exhausts will do this. While improper install can be a factor, I do believe the decel popping is there with the factory exhaust, but it's muffled more and likely mitigated some by the catalytic converters that will be removed when you replace the stock silencers. Whatever you try, you can always put it back the way it was.
