Request for assistance ~ Arrow Full System 2Gen

[VARIABLE9]

Hello - I did the Search and found a lot of discussion on Arrow Full Systems here however not too much recent in terms of replies and pictures. Specifically I need some feedback on a 2Gen fitment. Here in the USA no one seems to use them so soliciting for feedback and help on the SVRider website has been futile.

I already have a Leo full, so dont try to sell me on a WRP or LeoVince set up....;)

Anyone?

I have an arrow full system on a K4, with both high and low link pipes.... no piccies tho. (can be arranged)

[VARIABLE9]

I sent you a PM with some Q's - thanks!

[plowsie]

Not helpful at all but that is a nice looking bike for a pointy :)

[VARIABLE9]

Thanks Plowsie, in an ideal world it might look like a Daytona 675, but I do like the SV and what I have been able to transform it into. Cheers

Here is one that we fitted to Chris Northovers Minitwin winning SV last season. It worked well.

That looks good - I suppose that is a Ti end can? And Arrow only does a high or a low mount correct? No 'race mount' (M4 does one, it sits in middle between the two other mounts), I am not a high mount fan really. Thanks

[SV650Racer]

Yup Ti end can high mount. The normal mount is slightly too low to be ideal for racing.

Personally i used an M4 race mount on my SV700cc bike and this exhaust gave the best results for the bigger tuned engine. The race mount sat between, high mount and low mount styles.

The one on my bike:

The only thing with the Arrow and M4 is both grind out as you can see from the pics - just by the frame base.

[VARIABLE9]

Got it. I was thinking the Arrow high would look like the Leo high which I do not really like (the looks of). Mine is a Leo high header, with a low slip on mid pipe, putting it in the middle of the high and low mounts....similar to the M4 race. I like that level the best. As for dragging the collector or the mid, I dont think that will be a problem for me as it is just on the street and whereas I might ride a little over the edge sometimes, I havent been dragging any hard parts! Cheers

I remember reading an interview with Igor Akrapovic, he said something along the lines of "Competitors? We have none" followed by "Hmm. Maybe Arrow" Which is quite a compliment I reckon :D

[VARIABLE9]

Whats up North - In researching this project I can see why the Arrow doesnt do well in the States. Cost. The American SV rider is worried about the cost of everything (not that I am not, or the UK owners are not) and if there is a home grown alternative (i.e. M4) or another close competitor that is marginally cheaper (i.e. Leo) they tend to gravitate to those choices. Also, seems majority of the US riders dont want to spend the money on a full system, most content to put on an eBay or bargain slip on. I have found a source in the States that has the header and mid pipe in stock, and on sale for about $400USD, which is a good price I think - the canister on the other hand is pretty dear. I am going to do some more research before this project takes off anyways. Cheers

Anyone else?
