Installation is pretty painless - quality is faultness and the fitment is pretty easy.

Inside the car it sounds mellow and a little throaty but not coarse and no drone - passes the girlfrend test.

I don't think it's the absolute best sounding exhaust out there but I'm happy with it. It's a pretty 'mature' sounding option for those who are into that.

Might look at changing it out after I get my JDL UEL headers depending on how raspy it is then.
In the video I could hear what sounded like rasp from the tail pipes when you let off the throttle at high rpms. That's good that it's not making it into the cabin as it may annoy some drivers. The factory cats do a lot to help with rasp and drone as well. I provisioned my setup to retain a resonated midpipe knowing that I'd have a catless header in the future and I wanted to be sure it wasn't raspy.

What's the price on the Remus system?

I got a 'special price' on mine since it was a demo thing from a dealer here. Under 1k US for the back box and mid pipe though.

I hear you on rasp though. If it did bug me I'd have swapped it out already. Getting the sound of this car just right adds a lot to the driving experience IMHO.

Retail is $1081, but we'll likely list the price under that amount, probably under or right around $1k. Once product is ready to go we'll have pricing set up and the item on the website. It's a really good system, can't go wrong with Remus if you ask me. I have more Remus sales for exhausts more than anything else in total.

Do you have any videos of it? Im using remus exhaust and looking to get UEL headers, but i wanted to know how its gonna sounds like.
