MIVV - unique exhaust design for Brutale 800
Falco style for men and women
' Misty '
Celebrating 50 years in business does not mean it is time to stand still ! Italian manufacturer MIVV has added this stylish new exhaust for the three-cylinder MV Agusta Brutale 800 - the word " unique " is often over-used , but not this time ! In what can only be described as a major understatement , MIVV says its design is an " ad hoc " solution that is a " highly seductive alternative to the stock exhaust design ". Added to the MIVV ' Speed Edge ' line for systems with horizontal muffler configurations , button-style locking screws couple the lateral silencer to the three " salami slice " style outlet tubes with race-style mesh grills . Initially released in Euro 4 configuration , at the time of publication , Euro 5 production is also already underway . Both are manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel ; two finishes are available - " Black Moon " ( the dark one ) and " Pearled " ( the light one ). The system retains the original MV catalyst , and although the three-outlet style is not entirely new thinking - the stock exhaust uses a similar design - as far as we here at IDN are aware , securing each outlet individually to the horizontally mounted muffler body rather than routing them from a single common connector pipe is new . Either way , on the Brutale it certainly looks " dramatic "! In addition to looking great , the design has produced a considerable weight saving ( -3.5 kg compared to
the OEM exhaust ) and a significant increase in performance - the bench test data show + 4 hp at 11,200 rpm and + 2.2 Nm at 8,800 rpm . This and other MIVV exhausts are available from distributors , including Moto GB Distribution in the UK , Andreani Group in Italy , Bihr in France and Belgium , MDI in the Netherlands , MIVV Espana and others .
