I'm quite happy with my Mivv carbon GP shorty. Its a full system with the exception of the front pipe so no cutting of the original is required. It weighs nothing compared to the original system and sounds great too. Its also road legal if you leave the end bung in.

Based on what criteria?

Just about any end-can will make a similar level of noise, no real power increase, so it's down to looks.

If you're after genuine additional HP, then full systems cost a lot more.

I spent ages choosing an exhaust for my 2006 Sport, looked at both the M4 and Two Brothers. M4 worked out too costly (for a full system) and both being from USA, they didn't have EU stamp, so could have been hassle at MOT time. Ended up getting Mivv Carbon GP Shorty same as drdax. As he said, no cutting required and road legal. I personally love the looks as well and it gives a really nice exhaust note too!

I've experience of Art, Scorpion, M4s and Leo Vince on my bikes. They're all good. They all have different depths and tones to their sound, but they are all differing lengths, have different links, and on 3 different bikes.
M4s have quite a harsh, but loud sound. Art is short, loud and deep, Scorpion creeps up on you, quite short, hi level link. Leo Vince twin pipes.....mmmmmmmmmm beeeeoooooootiuful!

I have tried to get my mitts on the Mivvs before now, I think they look great quality.

That specific can (for K6 onwards) is here and costs £327: http://www.motorcycle-exhausts.co.uk...oducts_id=5608

I am very very tempted...not cutting pipes at that price clinches it for me!

What do you want from it, sound looks or performance gain?
I have a full M4 system on my bike, and the difference means the bike will rev to red line in top, whereas with stock system the bike would stop pulling about 1000rpm or so less. This equates to a 12mph higher top speed than with stock exhaust (speedo reading not actual).

Very loud though, I have recently moved about 100yrds away from an italian bike specialist (Ducati, Moto-Guzzi etc) and the missus reckons that none of the bikes that are constantly being revved up at the garage are as loud as my sv!
Not had an issue with mot in the last 5 years the system has been on the bike.
