I have a friend who is a GM of a Triumph dealership. He initially told me that the Arrow exhaust for the 07 S3 would be full Ti, probably cost $2000, and was good for 8-11 hp (I think he had it confused with the Arrow full Ti exhaust for the 675). I spoke to a parts guy at the same dealership the other day and he said the Arrow exhaust was stainless steel with a Ti silencer and cost $1200. He could not give hp or tq figures.
I called Arrow and they said the exhaust was specially built for Triumph and any hp or tq numbers or dyno charts would have to come from them. I left a message on a Triumph PR guys voicemail but have not heard anything back yet.
I was looking through The Magazine of Triumph today and saw that the Arrow exhaust was worth 4ps. I Googled ps to hp conversion and found out that they are almost equal, 1ps=.98 hp. WTF!! Arrow, a well respected maker of exhaust systems makes a full system for the 07 S3 and it's only worth 4 hp! I can probably get 4 hp by removing the precat from the oem header, coating the full pipe, and installing a BMC air filter. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Even the Zard full system makes 6 hp.
Devious, bro it is up to you to make a decent header...no pressure!?

Devious,
I read on Triumphrat.net that you would buy the AG Hammer exhaust it not building your own. You have posted that you don't like Ti exhausts because the welds break. Have you change your mind? Any tq /hp figures on the AG?

Devus,
Not to ask questions ad nausem...but I find this exhaust thing interesting. Would you get the AG Ti header only and use it with, say, a stainless steel mid pipe and slip-on from another manufacturer or buy the complete AG system?
