Using Arrow slip-ons with DP s-pipes?

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:

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?

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.

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.

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]

Gus Duc

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]

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.
