Think D's bike started off as an 800, didn't it?
Correct , its 859 now. My sister rides a 620.  |

Get the MIVVs - one or two stories shouldn't be enough to scare you. .... and if PJsParts stands behind their product, the risk is low. Either way - there will be pictures?  Exactly. The internet is ripe with horror stories about good products and good people just because it's an avenue for whiners. It also can disclose junk products and people, but I don't think that's the case here. |

And the size of his bike doesn't really matter for this topic.
Well, it didn't until someone called it wrong.  |

So I spent a full hour searching the net for other "horror" stories of catastophic failures...
I found two... the sames on the OP mentioned. Pretty big stretch to call two failures of an entire line of a manufacturers product a problem.

You're not implying I was saying Mivv products are bad I hope?
My question was if any Mivv owners here experienced the same issues and if this was a common problem with CF pipes since I have never had any CF parts on either of my Ducs.

Iz, no issues at all with my Mivvs - they also came originally from PJ and arethe low mount round GPs on my M800. I've ridden with a shiteload of fellow DMFers here is Australia, and there's a pretty common comment that they are one of the best sounding and one of the loudest pipes in the pack (if not the best sounding)
No quality issues what so ever. Very happy to recommend them fully.

Go with your gut instinct.
I'd say go for it.
I went through a similar thing last year when I bought my "Spark" pipes for my S2R1K
I had a look on the net to see if there was good or bad points about them.
I found the odd winger complaining about the quality, but they were what I wanted so I thought f*ck it just do it.
I Never regretted it

Sorry if my previous post seemed strongly worded... I never ment to imply that towards you at all.  I guess I was a little frustrated after reading the threads you provided. Really tho...... two failures... some of those guys were pretty paranoid that were posting.  |

Really tho...... two failures... some of those guys were pretty paranoid that were posting. No problems. I just didn't want anyone to misinterpret the OP. I was set on the Mivvs but found those articles when I was looking for extra pics. They caused some concern. As I mentioned previously, I don't anything about CF pipes. Keep in mind, there may be only 2 bad reviews we found. Not everyone has the internet though or writes up their reviews of products. These may only be 2 of many problems people have had. I do feel at ease though after hearing a lot of positive input about the Mivv now!  |

Every wingnut posts everywhere about his/her perceived problem regardless how minor. |

I've got high mount mivvs on my 900, they sound very good to me but I wear ear plugs all the time.
Mine are cf and have had no problems. People tell me they sound really good and are on the edge of being to loud, but thats through town at 6:45 est.

I've added Suono's on my 620 and they look and sound fantastic, the CF tips seems to be holding up (bike sits out in the sun all day at work). They are appropriately sized for the little Monster, making stock pipes and many aftermarket look too long, particularly with the ubiquitous tail chop. I did have a bracket fall off but the fasteners obviously came loose so not a mfg failure. (The replacement pieces I got were not exactly correct but that's another story). Very happy with these.  |
