remus is nice

they seem like a legit compnay, it is cheaper to have manufacturing over seas, i work in manufacturing, we typically charge 75$ an hour just for the machine.... so yeah

its really nice that they are so willing to talk to you, i would give them the chance on that alone

As someone who has watched a friend go through two ebay exhaust on his r53, and a $200 "race cat" I really wouldn't go cheap on the exhaust. I'm all for a budget build, which is why I bought the scorpion. The exhaust is something you wanna buy and install once and be done.

That Remus is nice; good find. I'm interested to hear it, as it has no center resonator. It may be raspy with a header.

Scorpion is a solid buy, too.

I won't be running a header as I'm in California so the exhaust is likely the only mod i will do other than suspension. I will post up a review of the REMUS once I get around to installing it. It is a Beautifully constructed piece though.

I thought so at first... This sucker is STUPIDLY loud lol. I am going to grab a Vibrant resonator in an attempt to eliminate the drone and quiet it down. I wish this car had room for a 20+" resonator as I can't stand how loud the car is with the Remus.

I'm committed already.... Even if it takes 2 resonators, i will make it work. It has an awesome note, just too damn loud. lol Everyone loves the burbles on these things, to me, it sounds like something's broken. Embarrassing with how loud the exhaust is, the burbles sound like a 1960's beetle back-firing.

When I first had mine installed the burble was backfire loud, it quieted down as the exhaust set in though.
