Wow! Great deep sound!

Does it come with 2 mufflers or just one on the left side and 2 pipes on the right? Do you have a pic from the bottom?

Thanks for the comments guys. I think it is a great exhaust too. Probably the best looking one in the market at the moment with the CF finishing.

More back view on exhaust with my iPhone 4s:

Thanks St8800. Did you notice any loss in low end torque? More so going uphill?
Also, do you get droning? The design of the quads is exactly the same as Supersprint.


RC3,

You finally found your twin!!!

st, how much did you pay for your Remus?

I like your muffler being black, it disguises the other side having no muffler. And did you add on this cover? I don't have it on mine...

Not only the design Jxnco, I think it sounds like my Hamann too.

I paid about US$1800. Reason I went for Remus was because a fellow forumer posted to say his swap out his SS for Remus because his wife couldn't stay the sound in cabin. After his change, the complaining stopped. Also, I didnt have to wait any longer with the right gapping hole in diffuser.

Do Remus look like Hamann and SS? I didn't know all come with CF and double wall finishing. Here's a clearer top view.

Hehe ya, my car is very much like RCs. The cover came with the diffuser. They had to trim it after installing the exos.

Actually, I m still not very sure what everyone means by droning to be honest. However, I must say there is still vibration n audible exos sound in the cabin. Wife still complained after I asked. May have to do a soundproof. It's probably going to cost around the same as exos for a premium one.

As for lost in low end torque, can't really feel it when I drive alone... but with 2 more adults + 1 kid, the lack of torque is quite apparent. Needed to go to sports mode to overcome it. Can't be sure it is because of the exos though....

US$1800 is quite good. My Hamann is US$2500. Not double wall and CF.

Cover came with the diffuser? I don't have it! And I got the same 550 M sport diffuser as you. My shop must have ripped me off.

Droning is the low humming sound. I can hear and feel inside the cabin at low rpm for my Hamann. Deep and not so noisy though. At high speed or high rpm, the engine noise pretty much covers the droning.

It strange u guys don't have it because I saw another 535i pic with the installion with exact same cover on his diffuser.

As for droning, it"s very faint at low rpm but I have to do some comparison with others who has SS to be sure. I know Tinybeammer has a SS. Have to check on his one day.

Actually I just realized you just picked up your car. It will difficult to tell as you didn't have enough time to use it on stock exhaust. I'm sure I will notice the difference when I change as I've been driving my F10 for 7 months now.

$1800 is a very good price. As RC3 said, SS is like $2500. 3D/arqray non titanium version is $3500.

Actually I find the stock too quiet but now with exhaust too loud... no perfect world haha.

The SS I booked was $1950. Someone got I know got it at $1800 as well. $3500 for Arqray.... wow.
