Drivetrain F56 - Exhaust Options

If you're willing to ship the part to them in Italy they'll send it back along with their downpipe, with or without cat, for a special price.

Thanks for the replies about the differences!
As you know I have the Remus, and I have to say I doubt I would want the tone to be any different in open mode. I know you claim the SS is louder, but the Remus is utterly brutal with the valve open in conjunction with the racing tube (non silenced from pipe)
My car also made 202bhp on Evolve's dyno with only the Remus and Gruppe M air intake (it also made 202bhp with the stock airbox)

In terms of power the catback doesn't make any difference, at least on the EU-Spec car.
On the US-Spec car, which has a secondary cat on the front pipe, it may do!
To get some performance you need to work on the downpipe, that wil make +10~15hp at the crank.
Then with a tune I espect some great things, but I'm afraid most of the tune out there doesn't solve the Check Engine Light issue caused by the removal or replacement of the cat. There is a company in Germany, called Dynamic-Automotive, that can tune the ECU and solve the O2 sensor issue at the source, but they need the ECU phisically at their lab, and they charge around € 1000.
PP-Performance also have a proper tune I think.
If you want the absolute best in terms of performance at the moment I think it's the only way.

I appreciate all the work everyone has done on this thread. I'm having trouble though finding some prices. Is there anything out there under 1k? I'm also having a hard time distinguishing what is bolt on and what needs to be cut.
If someone would help clarify that me I would really appreciate it.
I'm looking for the cheapest and easiest way to make more sound without having to cut or re-weld anything if possible.

Possibly is 202bhp from the factory, in which case, thats pretty impressive.
My guess is the Remus offers very little power gain, but I'd like to think its worth at least a couple of horsepower due to the cost! lol

Agreed, and at this point, a stage 2 tune to the ECU seems like the only option (no akrapovic delete-r available). Warranty issues make me hesitant from tuning the ecu directly as opposed to a chip-box option.

Asduming they mean to get the most out of the exhaust you will need a tune. 700 seems steep imo since it is almost a straight shot to the rear of the car. My delete is louder than the JCW kit btw and sounds as good. Ability to swap btn open and closed is cool just not 2k cool imo. I have several videos on the cars FB page, search for "grumble"
