Arrow slip on, amazing! - Kawiboy_imp - 11-08-2015
I finally got my Arrow slip on for my 2014 CB1100. Easy to install, I just had to knock off the spot welded tab and remove the DB killer. Darn thing power wheelies in first gear now!. Very strong midrange. Sound is still mellow...ish, kinda like a Kerker with the quiet baffle back in the old days. Fit and finish are awesome.

I too have the Arrow slip and I'm very satisfied with it as well, especially for the price. Sounds great too. And looks similar to stock, just smaller and lighter.

Same reasons I love mine. I don't think it sounds mellow at all with the baffle out. When I first took it out to the canyons I kept thinking there was a biplane or something right above me. It's nice to know I have the option to quiet it down if I go on a longer trip, too.

Decibel (dB)?
Cheers

As, I am not in need of a new muffler yet (BTW, how many miles/years before typical replacement), am I missing something from the specs?
From the company's spec graph, at typical highway cruising rpms (depending on year and sprocket mods - lol) 3-4K no net gain unless above 3850. At full throttle, only 3.5hp. AND those gains are only possible if DB killer is removed. Couldn't you get the same with the stock if you remeoved the "db killer" equivalent?

Duh, what is a "DB Killer"?

Sound absorber.
Sound intensity is measured in dB (decibel), as Ptero already pointed out.

Aftermarket mufflers are of a completely different design than the factory units. There is a couple of threads here from guys modding the factory muffler, and it's not easy or simple.
I guess that's not an entirely fair statement because easy is a relative term I guess, but I digress....

Stock pipe usually not replaced for the power..it's for the noise
