If your interested i'll be selling my Austin Racing ARCS with carbon GP Stubby in the near future, also got a mapped PCV for sale and the sale will include the BMW headers so its a full system which means you wont have to cut your original system up.
Im selling the bike in June so will have a few bits to sell then.
PM me if your interested.

Austin Racing has an excellent product with the ARCS, and neat choices on the cans. You won't have to lose your stock headers, which are fine. The weight difference isn't so significant as a street bike with all the power the engine puts out. You will definitely feel more power with ARCS, and sound. I think you should plan to also install a P-V with the specific map for ARCS, which Hard Racing sells. I am extremly pleased with Austin Racing, and thye are very helpful. Call Neo.

They have great products but I find them very pricey versus competition and especially on full exhaust system . Like arrows or akra. The arcs is a great thing but first it is expensive and second you still have to cut the CAT.

But anyway the cans look very nice and it makes the bike more unique in my view that well known brand

The ARCS system is simply brilliant. I have mine and love it. I can't count how many guys come over for a look and ask what the hell is that, and where did you get that?.

Excellent quality and service.

Go for it.

I don't think so. It seems hard at best to get any intelligent information on their products

This new side exhaust looks good but is unproven in use and has no test results to back up any claims.

The Akrapovic on the others hand speaks for itself in workmanship, test results and GOOD OLD FASHIONED CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE USA

Not long Time back a guy was proposing to make the same system as the ARC in a local exhaust shop for 150 bucks with basically the same functionality . Taking out the CAT and link the front pipes to the can. And way cheaper that austin with the same functionality. I do prefer AKRA as well, however I do think that their Cans are really nice looking and probably more home made that AKRA making the bike looks more unique.

Yeah that was one hell of a thread! You can read all 17 pages of it here:
removing just the CAT from the system...

Lets NOT go there again please!
