Title: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: numbskull on August 19, 2009, 10:25:22 AM For several reasons I'd like to switch my CF Termi cans to Ti Arrows. Is it possible with my current setup? Here's an old pic:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2729486830_3f80da9e3e_b.jpg) Specifically, I'd like to keep the DP headers, but I'm unsure if there will be fitment issues. I suspect that it won't work. Does anyone have any FHE with this? Title: Re: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: Gus Duc on August 19, 2009, 05:58:02 PM What diameter are the DP pipes where they meet the S pipes ??? If they are 40 mmlike the oem setup, you can run Arrow S pipes & Arrow cans. The S pipes are like $180 new...... I have a used set you can have cheap if you like, no scratches & carbon heel guard.
You might also be able to buy just the Arrow cans & modify the S pipes you already have.......the Arrow cans are 50 mm so if the DP S pipes are smaller I'm sure you or a muffler shop could add a spacer. Not too sure on the angle of the mounting bracket but I bet it's close as they both use the OEM mount a the angles look similar. Let us know how it turns out [thumbsup] ps Why not sell the DP & just go full Arrows ??? IMHO the routing of the Front cylinder pipe on the Arrow system is much tighter to the motor & cleaner looking. Title: Re: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: numbskull on August 19, 2009, 09:19:57 PM Thanks, Gus Duc. I'll measure the pipes tomorrow to determine the diameter of the Termi/DP pipes. I did think of going the full Arrow route, but was trying to keep my costs down. If this is going to be a fitment issue, I will just sell my Termi system and do just that.
Title: Re: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: numbskull on August 20, 2009, 05:27:20 PM Well, the DP pipes are 50mm where they join the s-connectors so that idea isn't going to work. I guess I'll have to spring for the whole full Arrow system. [roll]
Title: Re: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: Gus Duc on August 20, 2009, 06:40:13 PM Yeah but if the cans are 50 mm too you might be able to get just the cans...... do your Termi cans attatch with springs ??? If so I bet you could youse the Arrow cans & bracket & then the Arrow or DP springs to attatch the cans to the S pipes.
I've seen some Arrow Ti's on Ebay lately quite cheap [thumbsup] Title: Re: Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes? Post by: numbskull on August 21, 2009, 08:05:09 AM Nope, no springs. Cans just slip on to the s-pipes. Also, I noticed that the Arrows are staggered a little differently. The upper can is further forward than the lower can. This is opposite the Termi setup where the upper can is further back. I assume the mounting bracket would have to be modified to accept this change.
