I considered both when I purchased my arrow evo exhaust 6 or so months ago from biohazard. In the end, I felt like the arrow would give me similar perfromance for a more reasonable price and a lower hassle factor. Buying from across the pond ( if you are in the us ) is a bit of a pain in the a$$. You have to pay attention to the currency exchange rates, worry about customs and shipping. With all that being said, Neo was always extremely helpful, and I was truly a frogs a$$ hair away from ordering the arcs over the arrow. I had a hard on for one with the full carbon belly pan. But I saw a couple pics of the arrow, heard some fly bys on you tube, and saw a guy with the same color bike as me, with the arrow evo exhaust and a small yoshimura bellypan and heat shield, and something about it just clicks on this bike. You can't go wrong either way, so whichever pipe and vendor you go with you will end up a happy customer with a better bike.

I have the Arrow Evo II shorty. It really sounds good and looks good.

I don't think that it is overly loud like some people. I also think that it has a great tone. It also fits under the bike quite well, not much to stick out. It fills the hole in the flaring nicely.

It also comes with a DB killer that can be added if it is too loud for your tastes. I think that The Austin Racing has one too, but the Akra doesn't.

After some thought, I'm now considering brocks because of their support system in place. Are there any cornering issues with the alien head or megaphone style exhausts?

That is the same thing I was thinking. The support from brocks is supposed to be great. I thought about the megaphone but it is longer than the alien head so if I go brocks it will be the alienhead in black I think.

One of the UK bike magazines tested it at 100dB IIRC.
