The exhaust aperture in the Db killer is the EXACT same size as the OEM, and there was an interesting flow-through baffling system inside. The sound was just a bit more aggressive, the exhaust gas SPEED out the back was MUCH faster, and the system has a slip-fit crossover pipe between the exhaust downpipes, to help with scavenging and flow. Furthermore, it weighed about 8 pounds less, and came with a nifty homologation compliance card for your wallet!
Interesting. Yamaha sell Akrapovic systems as options, but the Akrapovic literature only claims 0.5bhp more (and its certainly louder than stock) at a cost of £800 (say $1400)!!. So if the Mivv system actually does something, thats a better option.

I had a Mivv on my Mk3 for about a week and had to take it off because it was too bloody noisy.

Yeah...I know what you mean. I put a Gianelli or something system on the baby Burger as it was the cheapest option, but the continual roar really got on my wick! There again, its all down to Suzuki charging a ludicrous £700+ for one of their replacement exhausts!

This is NOT one of the "Speed Edge" MIVV systems. This is the brand-new "Stronger" system that is VERY civilized!
