Suzuki GSX-8S 2023 Arrow complete exhaust system with + without cat, sound check, db-test, approved

[@lost-again]

Great sound. I like how the pipe curves round under the bike. Great looking bike as well.

[@jaimerivera2414]

Great sound without!! I want it. Love the stickers btw.

[@TroyHarrison-d9t]

thank you for excellent gsx8 content akra on the dyno sounds deeper

[@Ngbaka1]

Thanks for the videos! Was there much of a sound difference (loudness) between this and the Akrapovic with the db-killer in? In person, does the idle sound similar? In videos, the Arrow sounds like it idles a lot louder and almost faster? Is this the case in person, or just in videos? I'm struggling to decide on the Arrow or Akrapovic. Thanks!

[@Mr.X-bikes]

the sound is a bit different, the Akra sounds a bit deeper. But the Arrow has approval.

[@TyTooFast1122]

I think the high pitch sound that the gsxr’s make sound amazing. R1 my dream bike because nothing more sexy than the Yamaha R streetbikes 😮‍💨 and that cross plane sound mean. But gsxr definitely the second sounding best

[@jridenour31]

Lol what does that have to do with this video?

[@charlesbatsold31]

I like the sound of the v4 diavel. 😂😂

Hi! I have a question: I am going to install the arrow exhaust, I was thinking of the full system with cat and re-map the ecu, but maybe before that I try to just put the arrow with the cat... my question is do you know if the bike runs good with the cat and not lean (if you have done a dyno run with cat)? Can you feel a big difference in sound with and without cat (but always with db killer)? Also thanks for the videos showing the different combinations of with/without cat and db :)

[@Mr.X-bikes]

The bike runs verry wel with cat, stock mapping. Not lean. Without cat it still runs wel, a few hp/nm's extra. And 4db's more. Just try, complete system with cat. You can always remap later .

[@KrisOft99]

@@Mr.X-bikes thanks for the answer! So the air-fuel ratio is alright with the arrow+cat? Did you measure it on the dyno?

[@bisagni09]

I ordered it with the CAT for mine (at least I'll have the certificate, but will decide later if to put it on or not, my Suzuki mechanic suggests a remap regardless so it runs just a little bit smoother. Maybe at the remap appointment they can suggest if Cat or no Cat, I also got a new aftermarket filter to put on too. Just wanted to give you some ideas!

[@KrisOft99]

@@bisagni09 thanks, I will ask them too!

Gutes Video! Zum bugspoiler: hast du eine Hitzeschutzfolie darunter ? Hab dasselbe heute montiert und bin neugierig ob der Abstand reicht zum Auspuff

[@Mr.X-bikes]

Thanks! no heat resistant stuff. No problem with the origional exhaust. With the Arrow you need to cut 1cm near the headers.

[@stevenvaccari2352]

How did you mount the bug spoiler with the aftermarket exhaust? I noticed the bug spoiler bracket is supposed to attach to a mount on the stock exhaust. Thank you!

[@Mr.X-bikes]

The Arrow exhaust has the same mounting spots. The Akra doesn't, I used a small metal bracket to bolt on to the frame.

[@romainquerel7531]

Hello, I really like your aftermarket mirrors. Could i know the brand and model ?

[@markush1867]

Can someone mention by looking at the exhaust that the cat is removed? Just asking for a friend 😁

[@Mr.X-bikes]

Tell your friend, NO 😆😆 If db-killer is mounted, you can't see if the cat is removed, only by removing the silencer.

[@flozockthard]

is is a problem in NL that the exhaust is 4 db louder than the stock one

[@Mr.X-bikes]

Don't think so, system is approved, so if I get a ticket I can send it to Arrow 😉

[@Mr_Glenn]

If you pair the exhaust with the cat you will get a certificate, I believe. There is a margin of 3db in the Dutch law, iirc. 4db will not be a big problem, the police barely ever detains people for it unless it's a straight pipe or whatever.

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

What belly pan spoiler is that, please?

Hi, Suzuki NL is selling this: www.suzuki.nl/motoren/accessoires/styling-bescherming/99980-25810-qu1-bugspoiler-gsx-8s-blauwzwart/

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Was hoping a removal of the baffle as well. Thanks for the video, regardless.

[@Mr.X-bikes]

Thanks, the baffle has 2 small welding's, you can easily remove them, but than I have a problem with approval (if there is a possibility to take it out).

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@Mr.X-bikes Okay I understand. I saw the screw on it and figured maybe it wasn't welded.

[@Snotroggel453]

@@Mr.X-bikeswith the baffle it already sounds great, no need to remove that. You will lose some back pressure too if you do that.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@Snotroggel453 Backpressure is a myth with 4-stroke internal combustion engines. There is zero cases where restriction of exhaust flow from the engine is a good thing. It's why exhaust companies spend millions on R&D to create efficient scavenging. An engine is an air-pump. You need volumetric efficiency to make the pump function at its optimal.

[@Mr_Glenn]

​@@Snotroggel453which is good. You need as little back pressure as you can get.

Do they have a decal set for the white one. If so, how can I get one in the United States?
