Arrow Decat pipe GSXR 1000 K8
Bought an Arrow decat pipe for the GSXR. Got it 2nd hand for £50 delivered. Was in a bit of a state but after 2 hours of Autosol & elbow grease its come up a treat. Its not perfect and probably could do with some more polishing for some but it'll do
 Apart from the huge weight saving (4.2kg approx) the bike should be have a little bit more BHP in the midrange. Am still running a stock filter so am hoping it'll run ok without a remap. I'm also gonna disconnect the EXCV too. Here's a few pics for you polishers out there

Nice elbow grease.
 Do cats have to go back on for the MOT?

Re: Arrow Decat pipe GSXR 1000 K8
Yes i think i have started something... Took the silencers off and subjected them to a good hand rubbing
Links pipes will get the same treatment, if i can figure out how to get the fused bolts off, without mauling them

Re: Arrow Decat pipe GSXR 1000 K8
Yup no emmisions test on MOT.
Have dyno'd alot of 1000K7-8 models with the same exhaust setup. They run very rich low down with the decat and really benefit from a remap. |
