Too loud for me. Just put this on two days ago, has about 25 miles on it. I would like to get $750 for it. I would take a streetfighter seat or maybe some carbon for an XB12S on trade. I am new to Buell and this site, but you can check me out from my e-bay id. It's speedracermatt.

Thanks, Matt

I thought my Jardine was too loud at first too. Give it time. Though I may take that Micron off your hands.

It's pretty loud, not as loud as some. It isn't too bad at speed and sounds great at idle. I put my stock system back on as I decided I wanted super quiet again. That's why I thought I might take a stock muffler on trade to try a mod of my own.
Buell 007, I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how much for my system or how much trade I'll give?

Thanks, Matt

Thaloc, what kind of trade were you thinking? I can try to get a picture, but it looks brand new other than color change at the head pipe. 25 miles of color, that's all. It is a Micron Serpent full system.

sorry, I haven't been on here for a while. I decided to give the system another try this weekend to be sure I am not being too hasty in selling and regret it later. (especially now that they won't be making anymore) give me a few days if you can...
thanks for your understanding, Matt

I am also considering a ti-force as they are a bit quieter. Have you guys heard one or do you know if the chin fairing can be trimmed to fit?

It's all good man. I've looked at the Ti-force exhaust looks nice but I'm not sure it will fit under the full fairing I'm going to get for my 12R hell for that matter I'm not sure the Micron will hehe but anyway plz let me know either way obviously I'm VERY interested in that exhaust lol

STRMVT,
need to touch up those wheels man, lookin kinda shabby. Not that I can say much, my bike is dirty as all hell right now.

ya I know hehe but since the 12R is my only mode of transportation at the moment kinda hard would be a good winter project though =P

I know what ya mean, my eclipse(FWD) has two bald tires (the front ones, go figure) and flat as well, what with the tires being $160 a pop and the fact that I've had the car less than 18 months and already put 2 FULL SETS on it (not from driving the **** out of it either). I refuse to put another set on it, it's going to be a cold ****ty winter on my bike, but I'm not taking my car with me to germany anyways so it won't really matter then, a car in storage with crappy tires, is still a car in storage...

$160 a pop? Wow Rizzims and lowered? Sounds like you gotta get that camber worked out. Whatchu got, GST? GSX?!? I know it's not buell related but I love the rice!

Anyway, YAY a Micron!

Just one thing... whats with the crush bend? Why no mandrel?

FIDOSOL
09-04-2008, 09:47 PM
lol sad thing is it's stock 06 eclipse with a 4 banger and 5 speed, tops out at around 160, that's the problem, the tires are rated at over 160mph...screwed up is what it is.

already on here somewhere, but just cause i'm a nice guy...

it's hydroformed and the bend has its purpose.
the flat bend keeps a larger cooling area in the wind, which means more air circulation in the header pulling the burnt a/f mixture out the cylinder making place for more fresh mixture, thus creating a better burn mixture = less heat production = more power...etc etc etc ;)

Its not a "crush bend". The Micron system is a formed pipe, not a bent pipe. What I mean is that the piping is made in that shape. Formed in that shape. As opposed to taking a straight pipe and bending it to the desired shape. There's nothing crushed about it.

It's one of the best performing systems available...

I guess I miss this a while ago. Thanks Lefox and XBear9S! I learn something new every day. That make sense. Kindof like an expansion chamber on a 2 stroke?

So Micron officially stopped making their heads and exhaust? And would anyone know if the old serpent system will work on my '08 12R? I love those Micron Heads and definetly will get a set of those eventually. Also what should I look out for if I buy used heads?

oxygen151
09-25-2008, 02:55 PM
Thaloc I believe it will, im not 100% positive though. I also would really like to get a full micron exhaust, but if they dont make them anymore what happens if something breaks?? im out almost $800? Also, can you buy just the muffler or just the headers seperately?

Thaloc
09-25-2008, 03:31 PM
Ya Iv seen just the exhaust on bikes. Iv never seen the headers without exhaust, but im sure u could use just the headers. I will get that entire system, even if I have to fly to Belgium....and take them...off someones bike....:p

Edit: Just seen this in my email;

Jon:

Micron Exhausts UK is NOT us, we are a distribution company that represents
many companies, one of them the former Micron.

Yes, Micron is bankrupt. Gone, dissolved, non-existent any longer.

Al over at American Sportbike has a few of the systems still in stock, might
want to get your hands on one soon!

If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know.

Thanks!
