Where our competitors have to weld their taper sections into place and disrupt gas flow, Micron Serpent headers are beautifully molded tubes without the power robbing disruptions caused by excessive welding.  Where our competitors systems have to use thicker and heavier tubing, or risk breaking their welds, Micron Serpent headers can be molded ultra thin and still maintain absolute reliability and durability.  And where our competitors have to deal in the limitations of design constrained by old world bending machines, Micron Serpent headers now explore designs only dreamed of in the past, as we can create any tube shape that performance dictates.

Weight:  Serpent headers use the Hydratech process to mold the finest performance products available, and thus also eliminate the unsightly and power robbing welds associated with multiple piece, old style bent round tube systems.  More importantly, since there is minimal need for welding of round tube sections together (as many of our competitors products have to do), pipe material is minimized for maximum weight savings and uninterrupted flow.  The Serpent header for the 929 weighs just over 7 lbs, and this includes the spigots and flanges!  We utilize long lasting T-304 stainless for our pipesets, instead of the less durable, less reliable and more expensive thin titanium systems of other companies, the result being that Serpent headers are incredibly lightweight while maintaining the reliability, durability and price sensibility you expect from Micron.

Fit:  Although some newer riders who have not played in the aftermarket exhaust world for long may not fully appreciate this, Serpent headers represent an all new approach to fit and installation.   Since Serpent headers are “molded”, Serpent headers fit correctly, and fit correctly every time.  The days of struggling with poorly bent tubing, or mis-bent pipes are history, as well as the associated power losses or bike damage that goes with these poorly manufactured products.  Since this is a “molded” pipe, when the first one fits, they all fit.  Tolerances can be extremely precise to maximize performance, without any installation nightmares for our customers.  We cannot stress how important this is to our customers, because it also means the following:

Duplication:  Some ill informed people claim that “so and so” has something different then what is sold to the regular customer, and thus you cannot rely on a performance company’s data because the pipe is a “special” design, different then what you would ever be able to get.   This might have been true in the past, and possibly is still true for many of our competitors products.

Micron is here to say that Serpent headers are the end to all this nonsense.  Serpent headers are exact duplicates of each other, and thus each, and every one is the same as the one before it.  For the first time in the history of ultra high performance Micron is offering a “level” playing field in the world of exotic exhaust designs, a field which is no longer only for the elite few with deep checkbooks.  If a Serpent race header being used by a race team and producing the incredible results which they do, and the same part number is available for sale, anyone who wishes to have one is welcome to purchase one.  Not a pipe which is “close”, and not a pipe which is “sort-of” like the real one (as our competitors might or might not offer), but another from the same mold that created the first one.  Any company can build 1 or 2 of some “special” exhaust that you will never be able to buy, but only Micron is able to offer 1 (or 1000) of the exact same ultra high performance product for anyone who wishes to have one.  You know when you buy Micron you are getting the absolutely finest product available, the same one that the highest performance teams use on their machines.  No competitor we know of has this capability, only Micron has the ability to combine the ultra performance with exact duplication, and these facts alone are enough to turn the performance world upside down.

We are taking what used to be a “one off” world and making it available to anyone who wishes to have it.  No other company has ever offered this to the regular customer, and again Micron leads the way.

Pricing:  Serpent headers involve massive amounts of R&D, as well as huge investments in manufacturing machines and molds, but the end result is a product which can be produced easily and consistently as many times as we need it.  Thus, we are able to offer performance levels unseen in the old world of bent tube exhausts products before, at extremely reasonable prices.  Sure, there is probably someone out there who can try with all the knowledge they have of one bike to try and match the performance of a Serpent header by hand crafting one or two “super special” systems for some outrageous amount of money, but can they make 500 of them exactly the same, for any model bike they choose and sell them at a reasonable price to anyone who asks?  We are not disputing that there will always be a Lamborghini or a McLaren, and the people who like, and can afford, to buy such products.  But paying 50% more money for less performance just to have a “name badge” on your muffler is a choice you have to make.  Make your decision as you see fit for your machine, but Micron Serpent headers are the highest performance and technology available from any exhaust company, no matter how much image one might want to sell you, or others might want to you pay.

Availability:  Serpents headers for the Honda 929 are now available, with the Yamaha YZF-R1, Kawasaki ZX-12R, Honda CBR600-F4i and Suzuki GSXR-750 & GSXR-1000 hot on its heels for release in the coming weeks.  We then intend to follow up with Serpent designs for the Suzuk  GSXR-600, Suzuki GSX1300-R Hayabusa. Look for these to release as the designs are completed.

 Welcome to the future of exhaust systems, and the future is the Micron.
