Arrow Slip-On Thoughts
#1



Hey all, I am thinking of getting the Arrow Slip-on for my '17 EX because it looks the most stock and sounds good without the db killer without having to swap the headers. However, I am little hesitant because I feel as though it may not be worth the cash for the little improvement in sound/loudness. I'd like to hear my bike when I have ear plugs in.

Any thoughts on this or for those who have bought it, was it worth it?

My 2017EX has the Arrow slip-ons, which look great, are a little throatier sounding, and a little lighter. It doesn't fully justify the $800 expense for me, but I could always sell the stock mufflers and maybe recoup most of the expense. All in all, I would recommend them, with expense the only drawback.

Thank you, I think that's logical. I would probably do the same.

I love my Arrow slip-on. It's got a great sound with or without the db killer (I mainly go without) and you can't beat the look in my opinion. Similar to stock but much smaller like stock should be.

You guys have convinced me! I ordered it, but looks like Arrow is on vacation till the 20th. Sad Hopefully will get it sometime in September.

Ah yes, they are from Italy, in August basically the whole country goes on vacation.

You should shop around different online stores, maybe someone has one in stock so you wouldn't have to wait

Are Arrow exhaust getting dirty as quickly as the stack one? I'm so tire of polishing the stack exhaust, it gets dirty the same evening I clean it,

It is not a sticker, it was silk-screened (painted) on. It would likely come off with solvent and fine steel wool.

I'd like a different sound for my RS but I can't find any in the UK. I've emailed most of the aftermarket exhaust stockists but none have anything. Arrow are expensive but I'm not sure about the import tax.
