Finally picked my pipe up, Customs charged me HST on entry into Canada, no duty... So total cost was $259 + $16 shipping + $25 tax... Oh. Have to add the $60 I lost at the casino while in the states.. Lol..

Pipe sure is thin, will install tomorrow to see the difference....

Ed...

Haven't heard too many reports....do you guys not like them?

I gave mine to a friend in exchange for a new gnarly, I knew I would have crushed that pipe the first ride out on the right side so I thought I'd stick with what I know and what has held up for me in the past.

That's a bummer !! Too bad when you get some new bling it doesn't work out. Looks like Arrow had a good idea with the clearance of the pipe, but I guess it's a case of making it work better in one area and end up sacrificing in another area.

I'm sure it will work out for others but for me not so much

My forks will be back in a week. Then I'll post a report.
I have put a thick aluminum Moose guard spaced off the pipe by a couple of 1/8" thick strips of high temp silicone rubber. I'll let you all know how we'll that protects.

Here is a link to the thread that has pix of what I came up with for a guard on the Arrow pipe: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13544

Spoke to the aussie importer in new castle at the superx last night and he seemed not even close to interested in getting it and also said it would be 600 bucks or 1200 for the whole system.

Finally got a quick ride with the Arrow bolted on. Pulls noticeably stronger in the mid-range. Which is nice because that's where I live. Since I rarely wind out the 300, I can't really say if there is an improvement in over-rev. She's always had good low end grunt, and I didn't notice anything lacking there.
I'll say its a definite improvement over stock for the way I ride. It remains to be seen how well the pipe holds up under my abuse.
