Great sound, doesn't fit.
Maybe it's just my bike, or maybe the 2024 bikes are slightly different, but I had to fabricate a bracket to get my stock can to attach to the passenger peg. Even with everything loose the pipe was .75 inches too short. With that said, now that it's done, I love it and the sound is perfect.

So long to the boot oven!
The Arrow decat pipe with companion servo removal dongles. Very high quality product, perfect fit, easy to install. The stick pipe just sounds a little raspy but not obnoxiously loud. The best thing is that the boot blistering heat is now nonexistent!

A lot less heat on my feet than with cat converter
High quality. Fit perfectly. Sounds good. A lot less heat on my feet than with cat converter. On warm days above 80 degrees, long rides my feet would get so hot I had to take my feet off the pegs to cool them down. Eliminating the cat solved that problem.

not as loud as I thought, but has a nice grumble
Fitting was straight forward. One tip, don't tighten anything until everything is lined up from end can to engine pipes. A bit of high temp grease on each flange made it a little easier to align. With the ESE-KT1 it all just worked no issues. Had to manufacture a bracket for rear brake reservoir.

Arrow De-Cat mid pipe- KTM Super Duke 1290 GT
Very good quality pipe, fit to bike was good. Install is simple.
Price is on the high side for what it is but I don’t think there’s a comparable option from another manufacturer. Exhaust servo valve eliminator from Healtech worked as advertised. I would like to see better solution for mounting the rear break reservoir than the original plastic servo control module case.

My 17 SDGT came with the Akra exhaust with the silencer riveted in. I didn't want to trash my pipe so I decided to get the midpipe to wake up the exhaust a little. Man did I make the right choice. The bike sounds much better now even with the silencer still in. Deeper, meaner exhaust note. Install was super easy. So glad I bought this over a new slip-on. And glad I purchased from Rottweiler with the Healtech ESE. No issues whatsoever.

Good product and does its job, but the cost....
Ok so sure this simple pipe is well made and engineered for a great fit and install. Also, yes, it does its job just fine. However, the cost for this simple pipe, in my opinion, is just 3x what it should be.

Great Sound / No More Servo
After having issues with the exhaust servo I purchased the HealTech ESE. I decided it was worth it to replace the cat can with the Arrow mid-pipe too. I'm impressed with the build quality and the sound is great. It's nice to have well engineered performance mods that are easily installed.

2017 KTM 1290 gt . Couldn’t get myself to spend the money, but when covid canceled my trip to the GP in Texas. I went ahead and bought it. It looks great and fit perfectly. It’s a bit louder and deeper sounding. No regrets
I already had the Healtech ESE and 02 dongles
