Look and sound great. The double wall tips are hot.

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.

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!!! Last edited by jxnco; 11-19-2011 at 04:46 AM.. |

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.

Thanks Koby, seems there is improvement from 4 to 4s camera.

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. Quote:
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. Last edited by st8800; 11-19-2011 at 10:07 AM.. |

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....

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. Last edited by st8800; 11-20-2011 at 12:08 AM.. |

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