Arrow Exhaust Systems | Firestorm Motorcycles

Arrow is an Italian motorcycle exhaust brand best known for performance exhaust systems, slip-ons, headers and race-style exhaust components. Firestorm offers Arrow motorcycle exhaust parts for riders upgrading sound, reducing weight, replacing damaged original components or setting up a bike with a more responsive exhaust system.

For riders shopping across motorcycle exhausts, Arrow is most relevant when the bike needs a properly matched exhaust upgrade rather than a universal muffler or cosmetic add-on. The range suits road bikes, adventure bikes, sports bikes and selected off-road applications where fitment, clearance, mounting points and exhaust flow all need to be checked properly.

A lot of riders look at Arrow when they want the bike to feel a little sharper, sound cleaner or move away from a heavy standard exhaust. The right setup depends on the motorcycle, the type of riding and whether the rider wants a full system, slip-on, header pipe or supporting exhaust parts.

Why Riders Choose Arrow

• Strong focus on motorcycle exhaust systems, slip-ons, headers and performance exhaust parts.
• Good option for riders upgrading from a standard exhaust to a lighter or more responsive setup.
• Relevant for road bikes, sports bikes, adventure bikes and selected off-road motorcycles.
• Useful when replacing damaged exhaust components or refreshing an older exhaust system.
• Works well as part of a broader performance setup with air filter and fuelling checks.
• Best chosen by exact bike fitment rather than guessing by pipe shape or muffler style.

Arrow Full Exhaust Systems

An Arrow full exhaust system is usually the better choice when the rider wants to replace more than just the rear muffler. A full system can include header pipe sections and mid-pipe components, depending on the motorcycle, and is generally chosen when the original exhaust is restrictive, damaged, too heavy or no longer suits the rider’s setup.

When buying a 4-stroke full exhaust system, check the exact make, model and year before ordering. Exhaust fitment can change with frame design, engine layout, subframe shape, emissions equipment and mounting points. A system that looks similar from photos may still sit incorrectly if it is not made for the bike.

Full systems are often fitted as part of a more complete performance refresh. If the exhaust flow changes noticeably, it is worth checking air filter condition, fuelling and any tuning requirements. On some bikes, the best result comes from treating the exhaust as one part of the whole intake, fuel and engine setup rather than expecting the pipe alone to fix every performance issue.

Arrow Slip-On Exhausts

Arrow slip-on exhausts are a practical upgrade when the original header pipes are still in good condition and the rider mainly wants to replace the muffler section. A slip-on can change the sound, reduce weight and tidy up the look of the bike without going as far as a complete exhaust replacement.

When buying a 4-stroke slip-on exhaust, check how it mounts to the existing system, whether a link pipe is required, and whether the bike uses any exhaust valves, sensors or heat shields that need to be retained. Small parts like clamps, springs and brackets can make the difference between a clean installation and a frustrating fit-up.

A slip-on is often the simpler path for road riders who want a cleaner exhaust note and a neater rear-end setup. It may not change the bike as dramatically as a full system, but it can still be a worthwhile upgrade when matched correctly to the motorcycle.

Arrow Header Pipes and Exhaust Components

Header pipes are exposed to heat cycles, road grime, off-road debris, vibration and repeated expansion and contraction. Arrow header pipe options are useful when replacing a damaged header, completing a performance exhaust setup or refreshing a bike where the original pipe has become dented, corroded or restrictive.

When buying motorcycle header pipes, it is worth checking the cylinder head outlet, exhaust gasket condition, mounting brackets and clearance around the frame, radiator, fairings and rider’s boots. A header that sits too close to plastics or bodywork can create heat issues, especially on bikes ridden hard or used in slow technical conditions.

Any time exhaust parts are removed, fresh motorcycle exhaust gaskets should be considered. Reusing a crushed or leaking gasket can lead to ticking noises, poor sealing, exhaust staining and heat marks around the joint.

Choosing Arrow Exhaust Parts by Upgrade Type

Fitment, Installation and Setup Tips

Arrow exhaust parts should be bought by exact motorcycle fitment. Make, model, year and variant all matter, particularly on bikes with different subframes, fairings, emissions equipment or market-specific exhaust layouts. If the bike already has aftermarket parts fitted, check what has been changed before ordering the next component.

During installation, loosely fit the exhaust first, line up all mounts, then tighten the system evenly once everything sits correctly. This helps avoid tension in the system, which can lead to cracked brackets, leaks or poor alignment. After the first heat cycle and ride, re-check the fasteners, springs and any areas close to bodywork or rider contact points.

If the exhaust is being upgraded for performance rather than replacement, supporting parts should be checked as well. A clean motorcycle air filter, sound intake setup and correct fuelling can make the difference between a bike that simply sounds different and one that actually runs properly with the new exhaust.

Supporting Parts for a Better Exhaust Upgrade

An exhaust upgrade is a good time to inspect the surrounding parts. Check exhaust studs, nuts, gaskets, heat shields, rubber mounts, O2 sensor wiring and any areas where the pipe runs close to plastics, luggage or boots. Small fitment issues can become bigger problems once the system has gone through a few heat cycles.

For riders fitting Arrow parts at home, basic exhaust tools and careful preparation make the job easier. A proper stand, clean fasteners, anti-seize where appropriate and patience during alignment can save a lot of frustration. If the bike is being used for touring or performance riding, it is also worth checking noise expectations, luggage clearance and heat management before the first longer ride.
