So I have my eye on a couple of full systems for my bike. One's an Arrow and the other is a Micron. I know that Leo's and M4's are the pick of the bunch, but any opinions / experience with these two?

I had micron, it was alright but was a bit soft in the midrange compared to M4. Arrow, dunno.
I would say wait and do the job once and do it right if you are going to go down the full system route.

I've got a full micron system. Gives a really deep growl and roar when giving it the beans. I love it!

Cheers guys.
Yeah the Micron looks good (and cheaper) but I'm intrigued by the Arrow. Would be interested to know if anyone has had one on their SV and their thoughts on it. I know they're good on Ducati's but no idea about SV's. YC - Would prob wait for an M4 to show up if i had more patience, but they really are like hens teeth second hand and I can't justify paying the full whack for a new one. Either way I guess any full system will be better than stock. |

Surprised at this comment! I have full Micron headers (hi-level) but use a Quill silencer (I don't want to draw extra attention to myself or upset the neighbours) and I think the mid range is it's strength. I think you'll find the link pipe is 2" diameter (50.8mm) and most silencers are 52mm diameter or larger. I had my link pipe swaged out to 52mm but, if I remember correctly, I believe someone on this forum just packed it out.

Zoran also did micron-m4-leo comparison, same bike, same dyno, same day.

Went for the Arrow in the end. After doing a bit of research I read some good things about them
