Just got these Titanium slipons today. All 8 lbs of it.
Already took videos of stock with good audio so will be installing the Arrows tomorrow and do the same recording. Will edit together a sound comparison video this week.
This weekend stocks go back on for baseline run on AF1 Racing's Factorypro Eddycurrent dyno. Then the Arrows for comparison.
Will have graphs, audio and video files of this next week.

Well, we got them installed. Surprisingly easy install.
Remove the springs(2)
Remove the two bolts holding the straps
Slide the units rearwards and out.
Slight palm tapping of the cans to get them moving off the link pipe was necessary.
Reverse the procedure with the Arrows.
Note: we had to dremel down the carbon hangers a bit to get them to fit the underseat mount. Small job and took 10 mins. (see pic). Also the hangers obscured a bit of the Arrow logo, but that doesn't bother me.
FYI the stock slipon is 14 lbs. The Arrows are 8 lbs
Overall install took less than 30 mins. It sounds great! Lower in timbre and much more mellow/boomier. Started right up with no issues. No popping or missing. According to Arrow, this should get you 6-7 hp. We'll know by this weekend dyno run.
I have the video file edited and uploaded on Youtube. Best viewed with a decent speaker system on your PC. Then you'll really hear it boom.
Please rate my vid.
