This weekend I'm going to the UK (Kent) with my SpeedTriple 1050i ith Arrow exhausts. Here in Belgium police doesn't really bother about loud pipes but how about the police in the UK?
Should I reinstall my stock exhausts or at least install my Arrow db-killers or shouldn't I worry and jut enjoy the riding with my loud pipes?

On British roads you'll be unlikely to see a police car on your entire trip. Law enforcement is mainly concerned with making money from static speed cameras and traffic police have been reduced accordingly. Watch out for drunk drivers though, particularly at night - they're on the increase, as is general car driving incompetence as a whole - because there are hardly any patrolling coppers here. The closest you're likely to see a police car is on a motorway bridge - usually with a cop operating a mobile speed camera. Any town cops are likely to ignore offenders sporting foreign plates - because few coppers speak a second language and it's too much trouble following up offenders from abroad. If you do get clocked speeding chances are good it'll go no further. If you get stopped - don't speak English, mumble something in Flemish, make it hard work for them and they'll soon**** off to pester some local instead.
