Weighing just 1.83 kg, this silencer combines a raw, heat-tinted titanium canister with carbon end caps — a finish that signals racing provenance as clearly on the road as it does in the pit lane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull titanium canister construction: exceptional heat resistance, natural corrosion immunity, and a weight of only 1.83 kg for sharper throttle response and improved handling balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon end caps add a high-grade aesthetic accent that complements the titanium body and endures the thermal cycling of hard track or road use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel internal components ensure consistent performance and long service life regardless of conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable dB killer included, allowing road-legal noise compliance when required without a permanent performance compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e270 mm canister length and precisely engineered 54 mm inlet \/ 50 mm outlet diameters are optimised for the R6 RJ15's exhaust flow characteristics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrow recommends pairing with a dedicated ECU map to fully unlock throttle response and power delivery on the RJ15 platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign, Finish and Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eArrow has been manufacturing exhaust systems in Cherasco, northern Italy since 1976, and the Thunder series distils decades of racing development into a product line distinguished by its uncompromising material choices. The 71701PK wears its titanium construction openly — there is no paint or coating masking the canister surface. As the silencer heats through a hard session, the titanium develops its characteristic blue-gold iridescence, a finish that cannot be replicated artificially and that deepens with use. The carbon fibre end cap provides a deliberate visual contrast: dark, structured weave against the bright metallic canister. This is an exhaust system that earns its appearance through what it is made from, not through cosmetic additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Build Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1.83 kg the Thunder titanium sits well below the weight of the OEM silencer, and that mass reduction is felt directly at the rear of the motorcycle — reducing unsprung and high-mounted weight improves the YZF-R6's already exceptional chassis dynamics. The stainless steel internals are selected for their durability under the sustained high temperatures generated by the R6's inline-four, maintaining packing integrity and sound character across a long service life. The inlet diameter of 54 mm and outlet of 50 mm have been developed in Arrow's own testing programme specifically for the RJ15 engine specification, ensuring the gas flow transition from header to silencer is as efficient as the design allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Arrow Thunder 71701PK is designed exclusively for use with Arrow's own header pipes.
