Try asking on the Derbi Forum. There's alot of tuners on there who'll know what setup's best for your bike - alot of kids too who argue over who/what is quicker, but not a bad place overall.

I feel most will say the MK as Arrow's though good, aren't always great, and the MK is said to give very good power gains (more than the Arrows) and for less money.

As for benefits, they'll raise the peak power and give you more revs so should give you abit better top speed nd acceleration shouldn't be affected too much, if at all. They're also alot lighter than standard too which all helps. Though with the Arrows you (perhaps the MK too) you have to spray them with heat resistant paint if it's mild steel otherwise it will rust & rot away within a few months, especially over winter.

Not really the place to post as not many people will know what your talking about.

Both the pipes are going to give about the same performance and if any difference will only be minimal, so go for which ever you think looks best and suits the bike.

I had the MetraKit system on my Senda and it was a beast. Made a huge improvement on acceleration and a bit on top, but i wasn't bothered about going fast as my Derbi was just a commuter and a bit of fun on weekends.

Highly recommended you get one, they are also cheaper and more accessible than the Arrow pipes.

Changing a pipe on the senda makes a HUGE difference.
The Metrakit allows it to rev much higher and gives it a stronger, high rev power band, from about 7000rpm to 11,500 rpm. Give it a nice off road sound too Wink

www.moped-spares.co.uk is where i got mine amongst other things i've needed for the senda.
