Heard a few rumblings around but i was under the impression they hadn't quite, but was only a matter of days/weeks. I did also hear (internet rumour so got to be true) that Motad may be interested in a buy-out.
Would be a shame to loose them.

Magnex is the brand of car exhausts they make/made, Extech is the name of the overall company.

im not surprised really though, they had it a bit difficult as their prices were similar to the likes of Akrapovic, Arrow etc and thier results and quality although good wernt quite there, then there are the cheaper systems like Blue Flame etc, its sad to see a business go bust though

And one so iconic as Micron..

The words 'Micron expansion Chambers' were some of the first aftermarket words i heard back in my 50cc 2-stroke days..
Hopefully the brand isn't lost forever.

Sorry to all who have lost their jobs.. Many after many years of service..
