Looking for Opinions on Arrow Exhaust
Hey guys,
I've done a bit of searching on this forum and other forums to look for an in depth review on the Arrow Street Thunder slip-on exhaust but haven't found much of anything. There's only like 2 videos on YouTube as well. If anyone has seen a good review on that particular exhaust somewhere else, please post the link and I'll read up. I could have sworn I read somewhere that someone said it was actually pretty quiet and they removed the baffle without it becoming outrageous. I'm kind of torn between ordering the Arrow or the Leo Vince GP Corsa slip-on. The only reason I'm considering the Arrow is because it doesn't seem as obnoxious sounding as pretty much every other slip-on there is. My reason for considering the Leo Vince is because the carbon-fiber can is $200 shipped to my door. Here's the link: http://www.motostarz.com/street/exha...inja-250r.html Anyone have any input on the quality or sound of the Arrow slip-on? Thanks! |

Can't tell you much about the Arrow slip-on for the Ninja specifically, but Arrow is pretty well known and respected in the industry from what I've heard.
Not a new-comer or knock-off for sure. |

This is a useless post but in my head I lump Arrow, Akrapovic, and Leo Vince together as top tier exhausts.

Can't afford it. And yes, I want it to make noise. I just don't want it to make obnoxiously loud noise and read somewhere the tone it makes is only slightly louder than stock, which I would like. Add in that I can get it in black and it weighs only 4 pounds, I think it may be worth it.

I know what you mean though, it can be tiring lugging around that 10lb stock exhaust

I got it and just put it on! It sounds almost EXACTLY like the stock muffler. So much so that I was almost disappointed. The slightest bit deeper tone is noticeable at lower RPMs but unless you were told to listen for it you would never notice a difference. It's not loud at all compared to any other aftermarket exhaust, and I've heard a few different aftermarket exhaust cans on 250s in person. I owned a Danmoto exhaust before this one so I know what a loud exhaust sounds like. My Danmoto melted though and I had to go back to stock for a while. I am trying to figure out how to take out the baffle on the Arrow to liven it up a little bit, but there is some ridiculous ring that holds it in that needs a special tool to take out.
Overall it's a good quality exhaust even though it came with no instructions and there were a bunch of bolts and washers I didn't even use. It was easy enough to put it on though without instructions. I'll make a video soon. If you are looking for a quiet aftermarket exhaust, this is 100% it! |
