Arrow headers

[ballmead]

In my daily Internet travels, I have managed to find another header that fits any aftermarket slip-on that fits the stock GenII FZ1 headers.
Arrow racing make a collector (header) part No: 71344MI
They look to fill in the midrange pretty well and look awesome.
Here is a pdf file from Arrows website:

Looks like there are a few options out there.

Here is a vendor on Ebay that sells them. Arrow Exhaust Collectors Pipes Yamaha FZ1 1000 from 06> - eBay (item 310226790607 end time Feb-09-11 09:01:47 PST)
I bought my Mivv Suono off him late last year.
Similarly priced to the Holeshot headers.

Aftermarket headers are not worth it if you are paying more than $300 for them. Get the cheapsest yoshi system, sell the slipon if you want and call it a day.

I didn't think Yoshi headers fit other makes of exhaust cans?

I am pretty sure they do ballmead, but the Yoshi headers like to turn all spotty and look terrible from what I have read/seen.

Personally, I am going to get either the Arrow or the Holeshot and get it ceramic coated in black sometime NEXT winter. Gonna rock the stock header this summer.

I did some searching and I found a post from Ivan on FZ1OA that states the Yoshi header does not fit other exhausts as you have to use the Yoshi midpipe.
It's either Micron (discontinued), Holeshot and now Arrow for owners of after-market slip-ons.

I had on my bandit1250 a arrow header. all i can tell that i was happy with it. performance increase was awesome and they look great also. I had few pics of it.It was the best mod. i did on the bandit.

And here you can see what it did with the power. 130 hp measered at the rear wheel. And 129NM (about 95 fp.ibs torque)Look at the dif. between the blue and red line's. And after that i can use any exhaust can i like.

Hardracing.com sell the Arrow headers for $499 so it's starting to look better already.

It will work with a two bros slip on with 2 bros mid pipe and I believe it will work with a scorpion slip on as well. I may be mistaken about the scorpion though.

No, you're right about the Scorpion slip-on fitting on the Yosh headers. Member on the other forum (and I think he's on here also) did it and it fit just fine.

I have an Akrapovic slip-on so it's going to be an Arrow for me.
I love the look of the welds and the polished stainless, once I get them I will be getting the bike dyno tuned, so stay tuned for some performance data.
I will update this thread as I go.

Here is a pic of an FZ1 with the full Arrow system. The exhaust can looks pretty awesome too.

Okay you are talking Bandit here. I didn'd buy a Bandit because thay had such aweful performance, large engine width, standard forks, low self esteme, etc.

Show me the stats on a FZI with an Arrow FULL exhaust!

Now you're talking baby.:beer:

No doubt, I was thinking the same thing. The Arrow would be a nice add to my Akra. Hummm...

Man, little harsh on the response dude. That Google thing works wonders...

Green is the full system trace, looks the same as Akra and Yosh. Nice bump in the mid.

That said, 58 Cycle has full Akras for ~ $925ish. Tempting...

Motovationusa.com also sell them. I got quoted $461 + shipping.
That's an awesome price.

Looking forward to see your result with the arrow headers on the fz1. I'm thinking of buying also one .

@FastRnu2 : I just posted this so you can see the power gain with the headers. I know it's not a fz1 , but the result on the bandit was just awesome. So i think it's a good investment for the fz1 also.

 

[ballmead]

I appreciated the post marc, just so I could see the nice welds up close
I have ordered the headers from Motovationusa.com so I should get them in a couple of weeks as they have to first get them in from Italy.

Here is a bigger picture of the dyno chart:

 

[marc]

I hope you have them quicker than me .They came from italy also,and i have waited 4 !!! months. :doh2: anyway,i'm looking forward to see the result.

Following the thread now as well, hope its worth it
