MIVV - unique exhaust design for Brutale 800
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.
