Arrow also sells the reed ported cylinders that go with that reed.

Its been said that reeds help bottom end power & torque, a smoother, lower idle, and just about eliminate 4 stroking altogether. However, they do have a limited lifespan and require occasional replacement. But that's just what I've read, I've no real world experience with them at all. Anyone with actual experience want to comment? How long do they last? Any noticable benefits? Pros and cons?
