Why get a Remus?
There's three major reasons why to buy a Remus exhaust.
- Reason #1:
Remus brand itself. Remus is a very popular brand among the high end luxury and sport cars. Remus is the leading industry in sports exhaust. It provides exhaust systems to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) of cars like BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche, and many more.
- Reason #2:
Remus is the only muffler proven to give you the maximum performance out of an exhaust system. When you try to save money and buy a cheaper exhaust then Remus or even a cheap universal muffler you will be surprised in what you really get. When you buy anything besides Remus you are most likely to loss horsepower then gain and also make your car louder then a 1980 Ford without a muffler. Here is a little description of how the system works.
Imagine your exhaust system works like a water hose. When your car has a stock exhaust it is the same as you have a water hose with a regular sprayer. It work fine, and sprays the water out well. When you get an aftermarket muffler other then Remus, imagine this as taking the sprayer off from your hose and spraying the water out that way. You will notice that instead of the hose spraying the water it will just flow out of the hose and not spray at all. Same with the aftermarket muffler you have no filters holding the air flow, the design of the air flow on the aftermarket muffler doesn't exist and all it is doing is opening the air flow to your exhaust providing to much back pressure meaning "LOSEING HORSEPOWER." Not only do you loss horsepower with an aftermarket muffler but it also makes you car so loud you can't even stand it after a while. When you put a Remus on your car, Remus is designed to reduce the back pressure and provide the most perfect air flow possible. It is the same as taking your water house and changing your regular sprayer with a super one like a Euro Blaster which would actually keep the back pressure so the water can build up and provide a straight and perfect air flow so the water can shoot out as far as possible.
- Reason #3:
If you ever had an cheap aftermarket exhaust before you will never go back to it again. It is so ridiculously loud, that it will drive you nuts after time. You get that cheap muffler for $40 - $150 and you think it will get you more horsepower and become this great thing on your car. But after putting it on you'll find out your car didn't get any faster more like slower and it sounds like someone just put a hole in your muffler pipe. You might like it the first couple of days but after driving it daily you'll regret of ever putting a piece of garbage on your car like that. Remus not only provides the maximum horsepower but it actually sounds the same as your stock muffler when you are not revving your RPMS. When you Rev your RPMS it sounds like you are in a Ferrari, nice and low deep tone. Not loud at all like those Civics you hear on the street. If you ever heard a Porsche or a new M3 fly by you. That is the same sound your car will sound like when you floor it with Remus exhaust equipped on your car.

Few quotes from our customers:
-
I installed one today on a customer's 2001 F1 360 coupe. Customer called after the muffler was installed and functional but before the car was fully reassembled.
We started a fully stock coupe within the shop, and with my sound pressure level meter I measured the readings based upon what was required originally by the CHP-18"-24" from one tailpipe and at a 45 degree angle.
The fully stock muffler read:
Idle 95 dB
1,500 rpm 98 dB
2,500 rpm 93 dB
The dB decrease at 2,500 is due to cam angles as well as the engine starting its native balance.
Then we started the Remus system. Again all measurements were within the shop. You can expect a 3-4 dB difference (decrease) if taken outside.
The Remus muffler read:
Idle 98 dB
1,500 rpm 101 dB
2,500 rpm 102-103 dB
Certainly the evaluation is not based solely upon noise levels.
Build quality is quite good, welds are well done, and everything seemed to fit and line up well with little fuss.
There is absolutely no low RPM resonance or drone. It sounds very nice, and it looks very nice as well. The tips are very attractive.
It weighs about 1/2 of what a too be weighs, and about only 25% of what the stock unit weighs.
Around 5 PM when the car was completely assembled, Brian and I went for a ride. The unit sounds beautiful all the way to redline. Again, no droning and no high pitch whistle sounds up or down the RPM scale.
It makes a very good quality sports car sound that is in no way overly loud, offensive, or tiring within the vehicle either. It is quite nice. There are no high frequency rings or vibrations.
You cannot go wrong with it, and at $2,800.00 it is a very good value in light of what the others are selling!
If you want loud, offensive, and attention getting, this muffler is not for you.
If you want a refined sound that is politely throaty, this is the muffler for you.
I would give this unit a two thumbs up, and I will not hesitate to put one on my own 360.

Heh-heh, I hear ya. That's exactly what I thought when I first compared Remus to other exhausts on the market. I was baffled why Remus was practically 50% more costly than everything else (and only the muffler too), but after wasting money on other brands (along with brand x's), I finally went with the Remus and it was exactly what I was looking for.
I wanted something that sounded great, looked good, but still be quiet enough in the cabin to carry around passengers comfortably during normal conditions. Remus was able to achieve that while other mufflers could not. I was able to retain low and mid range power, along with low cabin noise. So for me, the extra money invested was worth it (twice in fact ... the Millenia is the second car I got a Remus for).

It looks fantastic! Well, IMHO anyway. I think the chromed rolled square tips really compliment the Millenia. They are subtle enough not to get noticed by the police looking to pull over the coffee cans, but elegant enough to attract gazers. It's a lifetime investment you only need to shell out once that's worth every penny.
