So was gonna get the arrows but my neighbour works for LexTek and said he do me a deal. £265 delivered with gaskets and link pipes. Thought I give it a go. Can get discount on the Scorpion cans as well when I get there. Either that or get acros drilled and baffles out but don't really wanna mess with em. Can sell as whole system then get a bit of cash back. Just hit 750 miles so sat in my shed waiting for first service to keep up warranty but not booked in till 3rd of September. Is killing me just sat there although weather pants. Figured keep myself busy but worried they may moan at first service if changed headers so not sure if to wait or not?  |

Sticking with the dual exit this time. Although single more efficient I prefer the dual look. Missed em off old one when gone!

Definately not.! I was at castle Coombe last year watching the racing and lextech where there ironically with a Z1000 with a set of pipes on there... They're only just larger than the oem headers... Arrows are about 20% bigger than the oem's....!

I've stuck with the twin exhausts I prefer look over performance,looks more even. But I understand the 4 into 1. But the twins get my vote bud,post a pic when u put whatever u go with on ure bike,but do it after ure service though,just to be on the safe side bud.... Looking forward to seeing it....

Reckon the arrows are larger due to the bit that the headers burn out of the belly pan...  |

I'm still impressed with how well,and neet that looks on that belly pan a professional job..... As Bob Ross says "a happy accident". Just measured my delkavic headers and there only a small bit bigger than the original pipes.... It's just something u don't think about at the time of ordering,but it helps if u get a heads up before hand.... Wish I did....

Obvs plan on remap once done a few other bits but that a little way off yet. Spoke to neighbour from LexTek and he said they make better power than the Acropovic headers so trying to see if can get some figures out of him. Also he happy to just take em back refund and pass em on to next in line. So whatever it be cool 👍
Just 265 is all I saw to start and just presumed they all be roughly similar diameter.

I did aswell,it was only when I put mine up against comphys when we met up at Fowler's in Bristol that I saw the difference... And to be onist my delkavic headers that are like I said are not much bigger than the original pipes don't put out the same power as the arrows,or the akras... That's fact,mine has been done,and there is a power difference,and I'm running Austin racing gp2 110 bore....

Still unsure on cans. Had big scorpions on last one. Want smaller this time. Maybe red power or some acros?

Akras do have that "exhaust note" that other ones cant replicate....ive had a few pipes on mine, Austin, Vance & Hines, sc project and the akra sounds the best....glugs at tickover, quiet when slow and loud when pushed. Passed the mot again today and the pipe wasnt even mentioned (No baffle in there).....
