The founder of the motorcycle exhaust company that brought music to the ears of many riders, Luigi Termignoni, has died, aged 75.
Luigi founded the Termignoni exhaust company in 1969 in Predosa, Italy.
Luigi TermignoniHis exhausts were made famous in the Paris-Dakar rallies of the ’70s and ‘80s and even the Le Mans 24 Hours Race for their performance, light weight and strength.
Termignoni exhausts have won 10 MotoGP championships, 16 World Superbikes and many other titles including cross country, enduro, trials, motocross and road racing.
His exhausts became the aftermarket pipe to fit to a Ducati after Conti exhausts bit the dust.

Luigi sold the factory a decade ago and was president until 2015.
Our sincere condolences to Luigi’s family, friends and devotees.
Rather than a minute’s silence for his passing, perhaps we should braaap our throttles in remembrance!
