I installed the BC Predator Performance Pckge. (exhaust, airbox removal kit, air injection removal kit, countershaft sprocket, & jet kit) a few years a go. Still diggin' it. It's not difficult to perform the upgrade yourself and there was even a video detailing the install somewhere online that was useful. Youtube has plenty of soundclips of each exhaust....

Arrows are probably slightly better quality than say, Preds or Doms, but any of these will give you a performance bump and sound way better. I like the Dominator Touring because they sound good without being obnoxiously loud. Mind you, people have different opinions on what constitutes "obnoxiously loud".
One thing I will say, if you put Arrows on, they will stick out as aftermarket add ons. Some like that, some don't. Preds or Doms are more "stealth" and just fit in with the overall profile of the bike without drawing much (visual) attention.
A final thought after looking at those photos of that green Thrux, IMO the stock tail light and blinkers look goofy on a Thrux's rear and there are many more attractive aftermarket options that will complement the sleek lines of the bike.
Other posters are correct in saying one of the first priorities is getting these bikes breathing right with snorkel, AI removal and airbox mods.

I was looking into the Arrows and I know arrow makes high quality products but I myself like the Dominator Sports and will be purchasing the TPUSA power pack eventually.
