DescriptionThe whole story▼
Precision-engineered from high-grade stainless steel, the Arrow 71492MI header is a dedicated race component built for the Honda CBR 600 RR (2013-2016). Every bend and weld reflects Arrow's motorsport heritage, delivering sharper throttle response and measurable power gains on track while offering the corrosion resistance and thermal durability that serious competition demands.
Key Features
- High-grade stainless steel construction for exceptional heat resistance, structural rigidity and long service life under race conditions
- Engineered specifically for the Honda CBR 600 RR (2013-2016) for precise, OEM-level fitment
- 48 mm outlet diameter optimised for race-specification exhaust flow
- Weighing 3.72 kg, balancing durability with a meaningful reduction over heavier factory alternatives
- Compatible with the original OEM slip-on silencer, Arrow slip-on silencers (ref. 71807) and the Arrow mid-pipe (ref. 71491MI) for a complete race exhaust system
- ECU remapping recommended to unlock full performance potential and protect engine longevity
Build Quality and Materials
Arrow's reputation in elite motorsport rests on manufacturing discipline, and the 71492MI reflects that fully. The header tubes are formed from premium stainless steel selected for its ability to withstand sustained high exhaust temperatures without distortion or surface degradation. Welds are clean and consistent throughout, and the outlet junction is precision-machined to the 48 mm specification, ensuring an airtight, leak-free connection whether mating to a factory silencer or an Arrow race-spec slip-on.
At 3.72 kg the header strikes a considered balance: robust enough for hard track use, yet noticeably lighter than the restrictive OEM manifold it replaces. The result is a component you can rely on across a full race season without compromise.
Performance and Track Use
The primary function of this header is to reduce exhaust back-pressure and improve scavenging across the CBR 600 RR's rev range. Riders can expect a sharper, more immediate throttle response compared to the standard manifold, with power delivery that suits both corner exit acceleration and high-speed stability. To extract the full benefit, a custom ECU map tailored to the 71492MI is strongly recommended — without one, the engine management system will not be calibrated to the altered exhaust characteristics, leaving performance and reliability on the table.
The header pairs naturally with the Arrow mid-pipe 71491MI and a range of Arrow slip-on silencers (e.g. 71807) to form a complete, class-legal race exhaust system that has been developed as an integrated unit rather than a collection of mismatched parts.
Important Notice
This product is approved for race use only. It does not carry road-use homologation and must not be used on public roads. Fitment should be carried out by a qualified technician, and an ECU remap is recommended following installation.
