Ive heard very few people talk about having a Remus. Might be good might not. idk. but the main one I saw that I liked was the PU Dual Exhaust. except I hear a lot of bad things about them. So this might have to be it if I wana do it. idk I'm still researching and trying to decide.

any other thoughts on that idea. I really like the sound of the borla and the look of the dual exhaust...

If you check YouTube for Remus vids, I kind of think it sounds like poo. It's hard to describe. It sounds better than some but not as good as the Borla or the MyMini, IMO.

For the money I would still get a Megan. Everyone I know loved the sound.

I never thought it was loud if you want less noise try the MILTEK.

personally i don't find my megan that loud at all. and i have a cai on too. it has a really nice distinct sound. the build and quality far outweigh the cost. hard to believe actually it is priced so low.

I've had the MinSpeed, (formally Mymini), touring exhaust for about a year and a half. I love it, deep tone and NO annoying highway resonance. Peter at MinSpeed would likely negotiate the price if you ask. Not sure why this isn't more popular unless it's not a well known brand or something.

nope they have them. really well built system. not sure what all the bickering was going on there was all about. but, the system is available and as mentioned, awesome.

if you look in my gallery there is a shot or 2 of it.
