According to what I've found, MIG is out of business.

http://www.exoticsportbike.com/mig_exhaust.htm

When I attempt to go to www.MIG.fr, it's no longer available.


From site:
Mig Exhaust is at the top of the list for motorcycle exhaust manufacturers. Since its creation Mig Exhaust has invested in the high tech production tools to ensure the best quality possible. Mig Exhaust believes in bringing the latest technology to the motorcycle exhaust market using everything they learned in racing. This is why Mig maintains its presence in competition at the highest level in Endurance and Grand Prix at the same time!

Mig Exhaust draw on the technology and experience acquired by the company on the world's circuits: racing design and the best power/weight ratio. Today Mig Exhaust is the leader in the domestic market and is distributed in 32 countries. Mig Exhaust was the first manufacturer to have and market a carbon silencer and the first one to bring the High Mount exhaust to the market.

I have them, they are nice. I like them because with high mounts pipes, you can retain your passanger pegs and they are up nice and high. Don't know about dyno numbers, but they do sound nice.

Ditto to everything. I have them. They look and sound nice, but was not able to find any info on them (they were already on bike when I bought them). I heard some where that performance-wise they are comparable to Devil pipes, but I have no data or real info to justify that statement (and, as I read the link you posted I see that you already know this ).

Fair warning though, use of passenger pegs with them (at least mine) will cause scratches on the pipes. Here is how they look:

Mig did go out of business a while back. Sucks cause they had a really nice set of carbon fiber pipes.

I had one of the few "blue-tex" carbon high mounts. It turned color in some spots. Rode over to Eurobikes and they replaced it on the spot but with their standard silver colored fiber.

Those highmounts are all bling. I spent a lot of money on dyno time with poor results. Sounded great though. haha

You have to remember that MIG pipes were designed for Euro spec bikes and were/are road legal in Europe. I never even had to change the jets out on my street 900rr, I spoke with manny (eurobikes) and the MIG tech people. In regards to jettting I got the same story everytime I spoke to anybody at MIG. They stated that the road legal pipes did not require rejetting the carbs. I had a MIG high mount full system on my Race 900rr and my street 900rr. I only got 2-3 HP with the MIG pipe on the track 900rr.

I went with MIGs cause it was the only one at the time that could retain the passenger pegs, I like the sound, the looks and the way they crash

anyone got a high-mount right side?



I lowsided at Barber last year and the can is still intact. eppy (Mark) did a helluva rivet job The MIGs have an oval shape so they crashed better than some round pipes I've seen, still wish I had Sato's though
