ARROW Link Pipe Stainless for Arrow Slip-ons

The Arrow 71617MI link pipe is a model-specific stainless steel mid-pipe for the BMW S1000RR (2015-2016). It joins the standard exhaust collector to an Arrow slip-on silencer, so you can move to a Race-Tech or X-Kone can without replacing the whole system.

Fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel, it is a durable, lightweight component intended for riders upgrading the rear section of the exhaust on a late-model S1000RR. Note: additional components may be required for a complete fitment — check the Arrow model diagram for your bike before ordering.

• Fabricated from AISI 304 grade stainless steel
• Lightweight construction compared with the standard mid-section
• Model-specific fitment for BMW S1000RR 2015-2016
• Connects directly to the OE exhaust collectors
• Accepts Arrow Race-Tech and X-Kone silencers
• Arrow part number 71617MI
• Additional item/s may be required for correct fitment — refer to the Arrow model diagram

Fitment is best carried out by a qualified motorcycle technician; the link pipe connects to the OE collectors and requires the correct Arrow silencer and any additional mounting hardware shown in the Arrow model diagram for your bike.
Always let the exhaust cool completely before removing or fitting components.
Handle the pipe with clean gloves before its first heat cycle — fingerprints and oils can bake into stainless steel and leave permanent marks.
Check that all clamps, springs and hanger fasteners are secure after the first ride, then re-check periodically as heat cycles can loosen joints.
Some bluing or golden discolouration near the header end is normal for stainless steel that has been through heat cycles and is not a defect.
Clean when cool using warm soapy water or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads, wire brushes and harsh solvents that scratch the finish.
Rinse and dry the pipe after riding in the wet or near the coast, as road salt and grime can cause surface staining if left on stainless.
Inspect joints for exhaust leaks, soot trails or rattles at each service, and replace gaskets and springs if they show wear.
Store removed OE parts in a dry place so the bike can be returned to standard if needed.
Aftermarket exhaust components can affect noise and emissions compliance — confirm the requirements in your state before road use.
