I've been looking forward to swapping out the stock exhaust on my 2017 Desert Sled for awhile now and finally jumped on it. Purchased my Arrow Exhaust through MotovationUSA.com and a K&N High Performance Air Filter through Jegs.com. Also purchased the ECU tuning tool RexXer EVO "User" to adjust the tuning map for the updated exhaust - more to come on that.
Hardest part of the install was changing out the air filter. It's mounted in an odd spot back behind the front fender so obviously it takes some time getting to it. Just make sure when installing the new filter that the top part fits nicely into the slotted groves before screwing the air filter cover back in place.
The difference in weight between the stock exhaust and arrow exhaust is honestly insane, some people have said it before but it felt as though the box it came in was empty. The Arrow exhaust mounts up pretty easily and sounds incredible. The silencer that comes with it does a good job at cutting the noise down but it is incredibly tempting to just ride without it. Not sure my neighbors feel the same way..
Anyways here's a quick video I made of the install. The first part of the video shows a pretty good comparison of the stock vs. Arrow exhaust vs. Arrow exhaust with the silencer.
