Italian exhaust manufacturer MIVV is now offering an alternative to the OEM S1000 XR exhaust with their Oval, Speed Edge (seen here) and Suono mufflers, for which MIVV designed two different adapters to connect to the OEM head pipes. This means dealers can choose between the standard low-mount (as in the OE configuration) or a new high-mount; an available kit will allow the rider to switch between the two mounts at any time.
The low-mount muffler allows for the mounting of touring bags, while the high-mount, with its Carbon black bracket featuring an aggressive XR logo, complements the lines of the BMW rear end. MIVV says “installing the system will improve performance - from the +9.8 hp gain of the Suono standard to the +13.9 hp gain of the Speed Edge open. Dyno data also shows an increase in torque - +7.8 Nm with the Suono in its standard configuration, up to +18 Nm without the db killer, all at just 2,400 rpm”.
Similar values are said to be obtainable with the Speed Edge (16 Nm/2,200 rpm).
The Suono is available in Steel Black stainless steel, with carbon fibre cap; Speed Edge in brushed stainless steel and Steel Black and Oval in brushed stainless steel or full carbon and titanium body and carbon fibre cap.
