2022 aftermarket exhaust for AK550
« on: September 15, 2022, 06:48:59 PM »
Im having problem finding exhaust for 2022 Kymco ak550(USA Model) . Most aftermarkets stop at 2020. I emailed MIVV in Italy and asked them would it fit and no one could give me an answer and didn't seem to care. If the factory doesn't know then who does? Im looking at the MIVV speed edge muffler for my 2022 AK 550. Its the same as the leftovers 2021. Please help if you can

I would say anything made for the 2020-2021 models will fit the USA 2022 models. Almost no changes there. The first real changes happened in the Euro 5 version that is only available in Europe in mid 2022 AFAIK. I have the 2020 Euro 4 version service manual pdf file in English from Austria Kymco HQ (technical downloads) and haven't found any differences in anything I've looked at with my 2022 USA version... other than what gas to use (sticker in the storage box says 87 octane for the USA models) and a slightly different service schedule (which is not related to any real differences in the machine).

I was thinking that if I did ever choose to put an aftermarket muffler on mine it would be the MIVV can. But I like the sound of the stock muffler just perfectly so will likely stay with that.

This seems to be a popular add on for the AK550, even though is for the 2022

I do remember seeing a lot of videos with the Akropovic exhaust. Never really liked the sound of it myself... personal preference. Did like the sound of the MIVV however. I think it was the MIVV. There is one video I remember seeing that featured the sound of at least a half dozen different brands on the AK 550 and I only really liked one of them.
