Has anybody tried the Arrow system?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kit-Exhaust-Arrow-Muffler-AN-Manifold-Gilera-FUOCO-500-2007-2013-/201795096742?hash=item2efbecd0a6:g:VAcAAOSw5cNYiapH

I like the idea that it is a full system and not just a slip on. The SS header looks much better than the stock one IMO. It is a bit pricier than some but cheaper than an Akropovic so seems reasonable value for money.

Any opinions welcome 8)

I have been using LeoVince for a few years now on all my bikes. (Slip On.)
I have on 3 bikes, and never a problem and the price is very good compared to the Akra, and Arrow.

The removable DB Killer's is great feature as others do provide; produces real loud sound compared to stock.
I also contribute this to possibly having an impact on the Oil Blow on the 500's where it has less back pressure.

You can get at https://scooterpartsco.com/piaggio-parts/piaggio-mp3-500-parts/leo-vince-sbk-nero-slip-on-for-piaggio-mp3-400-500?zenid=b6b3a215d60a49e8d70878d56f3d8bfd may take a few weeks if not in stock.

so how do you account for the folks having issues with stock exhaust installed?

Just an Observation Doug...
It would be interesting to know (Probably a topic for another thread.) who had the Oil Blow with Stock Exhaust, vs who had the problem with a Performance exhaust.

A different Thread, 2016 vs 2017 Models, I was hoping someone would have seen anything on Firmware Update, or Engine Difference?
It looks to be more Body Color, Electronics, etc...

Thanks,
