    Hello everyone i was searching for exhaust recently and i found the typical short ones boring so i decided to get the Arrow Gp-2 which is a bit higher mounted... and looks like this

    i know it leaves an empty space but i will create a belly extension myself to fill it...

    about fitment now, removing the stock exhaust was pretty easy, the problem though was the LAMBDA sensor which was a little smaller than the hole of the Arrow midpipe and it couldnt fit...i tested the hole with a car's Sensor and it was perfect fit...

    Arrow why put car sensor mount for a bike? wtf...

    So i strapped the sensor on the fairing and i went to a bolt-nut shop to find a nut that can be screwed on the lambda sensor... i found one and then i headed to an exhaust workshop...

    there we cut the arrow sensor mount and fitted the nut i bought..

    after that i fitted the exhaust and here is the sound :Banane09:

    the exhaust is super loud its louder than Racefit Growler and need a silencer for normal use which doesnt come standard to avoid cops.

    i was looking at these as well but i just couldnt decide on whether they suited the blade or not and tbh after seeing yours i am still undecided on the looks. Sounds the part though

    I looked at this but the straight throu pipes all seem to need a power commander to run right .. Thats what iv read anyway

    i was thinking the same since it has no S bend midpipe.actually it's not short at all... i think the pipe has the same size the S bend pipes have. It's not like hotbodies MGP or a twobrothers that mounts low and has short mid pipe. My bike idles the same as before. I cant talk about power yet since i didnt drive it much it's rainning. Btw the stock Exhaust weights 6 kilos and this buddy 1. so happy about it!

    I had the MGP pipe thats what put me off coz the MGP made the bike ridiculously loud and lumpy as hell .. Being Arrow it cant be bad anyway

    Mr RR9 had a GPR pipe on it when i bought it, it had the S bend and the lambda sensor fitted but it ran like shit, massive flat spot and wouldnt even rev out in 5th. Seems the new shape blade is pretty sensitive on end cans!

    I almost went for this Arrow GP2 as well. Glad you're liking it mate. They sell an optional baffle for it.

    Just to add the reason you have a large lambda hole is because it's set to take the wide band sensor of the auto tune or similar
    In my pack that came with the arrow I had a brass adapter ... did yours not come with this?
