CF will holds it's own, properly cared for. Much deeper bass, and Ti would not flow with my bike.

That is a gorgeous bike indeed. You must have an older MIVV. The new carbon fiber pipes are coated with a satin resin that isn't as shiny. We clean ours with WD-40, and after four years, they still look great.
Also, you were able to remove the badge with the logo. MIVV now rivets them on, but they redesigned them a couple of years ago so they're not so big and obnoxious.
