Arrow Pro-Racing nichrom Silencers - Macduff_imp - 08-10-2017
I decided to fit some aftermarket exhausts to my CB11RS as I felt the stock cans were a bit too muted. And if I had the misfortune to damage them they were rather expensive to replace at around 750UKP each. The arrow pro-racing cans looked good and kept the retro look so I decided to get a pair though there doesnt appear to be a lot of choice at the moment for the '17 RS/EX here in the UK if you dont want to ship stuff in from Japan so its handy that these look good. https://www.arrow.it/en/assembled/1525.
The only other choice was black or natural stainless, I nearly chose black but wasnt sure on the durability of the finish or resistance to chipping/scratches etc so went with natural stainless (which was also a good bit cheaper!) .
.
As shipped with the baffles in the sound was surprisingly muted with only a hint of a bit more throatiness if I gave the throttle a big blip, but at idle I was hard pushed to tell the difference, however they may get a little fruitier with miles as Arrow recommend repacking every x thousand miles.
The baffles appear to be removable but will void the warranty if extracted, I'm not sure what the failure risk is when removed apart from blowing the packing material out faster and increased risk of heat discolouration due to lost packing. There appears to be a telltale tang that will need dremelling to get the baffle out so it will be an easy task for Arrow to identify a baffle that has been re inserted.

Recorded the sound on my iphone, I suspect the soundwaves maxed the mic out a bit as it doesn't sound that raspy to the naked ear. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXqh8gAnmNz/

That sounds pretty raspy. Bet it sounds good at full song (always liked that expression)
I'm amazed you can take a video with a phone and post it here. Crazy world.

Ferret it wouldn't surprise me if your Ferret cam will take videos too. Most cameras do nowadays.
