Loving my new 1290 Super Duke R, thinking Arrow Exhaust

I had another thread about seat / peg distance before I bought my 1290 but this is a different subject so starting a new thread.

Loving the SD 1290. Wow. So far nothing buys me, so i"m sure the inevitable things that do come up will not be big ones. Compared to when I first bought the 990 SD, well, no comparison. I hated the fuelling when I first got the 990. I was not crazy over the slow speed handling, which had me reaching for my Husky supermoto (the real supermoto Husky made) when I'd be on tighter roads. I find the 1290, in comparison, to have much more natural slow speed handling and what great fueling.

I have an Arrow exhaust on my Husky and had one on my KTM SMC and I liked the workmanship, while loving the sound. I do not like real loud, "harsh" sounding pipes, the Arrow was just right.

So, now I'm thinking Arrow mid pipe and slip on for the 1290. There's a Youtube vid of the same Arrow system on a Ducati, it sounds good and is not obnoxiously loud. Any comments on the Arrow?

I have the Arrow link pipe with Akrapovic end can.
I have the rotty airbox and its loud but in a good way(the rotty increases the dbs for sure).Its nice and bassy and not raspy like a stubby.
The arrow endcan will sound great no doubt
