i personally think they look a heck of alot better than the provic and the graves (which are the only 3 i know of that are out now)

I like it. Its different!

i have a sound clip if anyone wants to hear it (need to find somewhere to host it first)

the rep also said that they will have a full exhaust out next week, just a matter of getting them to the us. he also said that there will be another "pipe" out but all it is is a "exhaust dump" like the slip on the graves has. if i remember correctly the full system will have a baffeled GP style (the ones pictured) or a more traditional canister.

Both Graves and Akra have a lot of experience in racebikes, hell Graves is the Yamaha sponsored AMA racing effort.
Micron typically is more of a stylistic / cosmetic mfr., it may look good but it doesn't always perform the best. Micron has had fit and finish issues in the past as well, some of their stuff is good but I've had others that are not.
IMO, if you don't care for the looks of the available pipes, I'd wait a bit till some of the other mfr's come out with theirs before I'd buy a Micron.

i havent had a problem with micron so uness something comes out that i like better im gonna stick with them. hell you could probablly make a slip on yourself because there is no packing/baffling involved. its when you go to the full exhaust that you need baffling because it gets rid of the stock muffler (box on bottom under fairing) sure as hell would beat payin 100-200 bucks for someone to make it for you (i.e. graves slip on)

thats not looking good. LOoks like a big ass horn. I will take the graves anyday over that. I like the looks of the povic as well i just dont care for the sound most of the time.

it's different, I like it. It sets you apart from others

I don't like it and it will set you apart from everyone else until they all buy those ugly ass things.
