    I’d have a chat with Austin racing as seems to me they have miss advertised this, or check with a Honda dealer as whether that is the cat or not which I suspect it is

    You could possibly decat yourself using a long drill and chisel, As for headers the earlier headers exit in a different position so wouldn’t be any good for you! Not sure if the new akra headers exit the same as the oem ones so could be a possible but expensive option

    funny enough after your last post , I emailed Austin racing about this telling them its not a de cat its a slip on , and for £862 its an expensive one at that ,but don't get me wrong the quality is great and the noise is great as well , see what they say .

    Bloody hell, and I thought the Arrow was dear at £600 ish. I'm still hooked on this one (can only) and trying to do a deal with Sportsbikeshop:

    i got a this reply from Austin , the year of your model has a cat within the headers a high flow cat which is non restrictive and wouldn't make any difference to the power of the bike if it was removed , as the bulk of the cat is within your end can , so that's why it is advertised as a de cat , well that told me then , lol

    I bet that Austin is going to be loud with baffles I love the AR exhausts but boy are they loud, so far on my two 17 blades I have tried yoshi slip on bike ran terrible and not a great noise, on the sp it came with akrapovic gp can way toooooooooo loud again bike ran terrible. I have now gone back to standard exhaust with flapper cables removed and servo fitted sounds nice but again bike runs terrible in mode 1. 18 months they can have it back and I will walk away

    yes it sounds great even with baffles in , my pcp finishes this October and I am keeping as ive put a few quid into it , and for £390 quid for a ecu flash it will worth it to get the fuelling etc right .

    Not. A friend did. I'm going to mail my ECU to do it. I heard great reviews about this. And specifically for my model.
