About the tips: they say the tips are 84 mm diameter in their web site, the stocks are 78 mm if I remember correctly (I asked this before to Evolve). And miula: your car is stock or already has other mods on? |

Any plan on DPs or would it be too much in your opinion? How is the throttle response and feel, especially in non-M mode? Any noticeable gain in +6000 rpm (desire to hit the rev limiter-wise)? If you make a sound clip please add some time with the car idling. |

I got the Remus installed today
The sound is only a little deeper now but I know it will get louder after some kms. But it growls more. Looks great on my AW. I will post a review later after some kms. and will post pics. I haven't seen any pics of AW with this system. Cant wait for it to get louder! |

[QUOTE=Ian///M;12082229]Mids will give you more power (+10rwHP). Much deeper & aggressive noise.
I do feel the remus needs a bit more noise... I only have like 400 km now. Im not sure how much more will it open up. Anyone know this? |

I believe I am going to be the first one to have the full system installed because the mid-pipes were back ordered. They are sitting in my living room as I type and are due to be installed Monday at 12:30 pm by Turner Motorsports. I will post an update when I get back from the shop Monday night...
My system opened up considerably after a few hundred miles and a couple of weeks; enough that I can see people turning around to figure out what's going on around town. I don't recall exactly how many miles but it did take some driving around. Right now it is loud enough that I am little worried it might get too loud and borderline obnoxious when the mid-pipes go on Monday... |

I have seen your videos many times. Its just hard for me sometimes to really know who it would sounds in person. Im still thinking about the mid pipes. But I would probably install the remus ones. Does anybody know the diference between the MadDad and the remus mids? |

With what you say, I bet the remus midpipes would make it very loud. Maybe too loud? |

UPDATE
The Remus Racing Replacement Tube is installed and LOUD!!!
But first I have to apologize to everyone because the pictures I took during the install and the comparison of the stock and Remus mid-pipes are not going to be available since I totally forgot to put a memory card on my camera; oops... They are non-resonated, un-cated, stainless steel, black ceramic coated mid-pipes that look just like the picture below from the Remus website. They feel dramatically lighter than the stock pipes but I was unable to weigh them; but I could easily lug around the Remus tube and yet had a tough time carrying and storing the stock, I would guess at least a couple of pounds lighter because of the cat, muffler and flange delete. Keep in mind that these mid-pipes do not have a flange to connect them to the factory cat-back exhaust and thus you wouldn't be able to install these by themselves like the N55 mid's. The Remus exhaust has a flange that is removable in order to connect it directly to the racing tube and the whole exhaust system bolts directly to the flanges on the factory DP. Without further ado, here is the updated video adding the full system to the comparison and thus you have stock vs. Remus cat-back vs. full system. For some reason the difference is barely noticeable on the video (I guess camera mic. restriction) but in person there is a dramatic difference in dB and tone. It gargles much more, it is much louder and DOES DRONE SLIGHTLY between 1900 - 2100 rpm, however it bothers me less during highway driving; I assume it has less restriction and thus less resonance. However if drone drives you nuts I would stay away from this setup although it is much less drone than the stock setup... If anybody is in or around Boston and wants to see/hear it, just let me know... Once again thanks to Marco and the crew @ Turner Motorsports for a flawless job and to the guys at **********s for making sure I got the mid-pipes after all... |

Thanks a lot for the video and info! I dont know what I would do without this type of reviews.. Very usefull and toughtfull. so thanks.
You are right, you cant really tell so much diference on the video. On your comments about the sound, you never say if you like the sound it makes with the full system. So? How is it? oh, and how much are the mid pipes? I couldnt find them online.. I installed my remus last friday (only rear) and I have 400 km already. I feel the sound could be a little bit louder... Thats why I am considering the mids but I dont want it to be crazy loud. Would you say its 5%, 10%, 15% louder with mids? |

Thanks a lot for the write-up and video. Now I am feeling that maybe Remus exhaust plus N55 mids can be a good solution for people like me who doesn't want it that loud but with maximum benefits.

I am going to try and get some better video/sound on the weekend... I paid $676.80 for the mid-pipes through the **********s group buy. I believe they are about $100 more than that usually. A couple of vendors on the classifieds section have them listed. PM if you need my vendor's contact info. The Remus and N55 mid's is a great combo from what I hear; but it will be loud just not as loud and crazy as the full Remus system... |
