Default Arrow EVO II vs Austin GP3

I think that the Arrow is beautiful. But I've heard lots of good things about the great sound from Austin Racing's products. I'm positive that both companies produce high quality products. I think I like the look of the Arrow system better but once I'm sitting on the bike that won't be near as important as the sound. For those out there that have heard the Austin Racing exhaust is the sound really so unique? What do you think about the two?

that's good to hear. I just decided to make a purchase in the next few days and now it's down to these two. I'm waiting for Austin racing to come up with a price for this group buy on the GP3 full, but I like how the Arrow looks without the added price of a belly pan that I would have to paint or buy carbon fiber.

I'm stuck with this same debate. I think the 2 systems look equally good, but I'm stuck on the price/power/sound differences of these systems. It looks to me like the GP3 system is good for 10HP over the EVO II, but those were different dyno charts, so I don't know how different they really are. I've seen videos of both, but never same camera/environment. What I'd love to see/hear is same bike/day dyno charts and fly-by videos. Anybody know where I can get this??

I'm interested in this too.

Plus the power gains are due to bazzaz/pc5 mapping, not just the pipe, so it's quite misleading.

Not sure about group price, but I got the gp3 in inconel with a belly pan for $3450 shipping and handling included from podium parts, I have akrapovich on my rc8, but after seeing this system I hope they make exhaust for it. I'll be scrapping the akra. It incredibly well made.
