MIVV exhaust system

[tanneman]

Seen an end can on GS in the for sale section. Looks quite tasty and a bit cheaper than the Akro. Had a look at the headers but they don't mention the material so I guess it is stainless steel. Has anybody got this fitted to their steeds and what is your general impression regarding the quality, noise and performance?

MIVV Headers have a peculiar shape to them (very rounded) and can foul some makes of fender extenders. GPR are better shaped, of excellent quality and not too pricey. MIVV silencers can corrode pretty quickly and look shabby. Look for Akra / Remus / Arrow / Termi / Yoshi etc silencers for best quality.

I've done about 25k miles on my Mivv headers without really cleaning them, they got pretty shitty but cleaned up ok. They have a unique feature, which deals with the exhaust flap cables, which are retained and bolted to two flanges on the pipes. They provide springs to put on the cables, so the cables are all retained, the flap motor is retained and just does its thing and there are no error codes.







This is the exhaust flap cable thing...

Mivv's with 25k miles, after cleaning though....

I had the titanium MIVV on my gsa tc , much lighter than standard, very well finished and quieter than standard with the baffle insert fitted .

Gave the the same if not better power than the standard exhaust.

I looked into the same exhaust for my gsa wc

I have the titanium can on a TC, same comments as above. The can only had one loop for attaching the springs! Gotta love Italian quality control! I don't really like the spring attachment method anyway so I cut four slots in the stub with an angle grinder and fitted a clamp, job sorted. Perfectly happy with it now.

Thanks for the advice.
