I have Fabspeed with Remus. Very happy. Not too loud (after cold start is over) and just has a nice deep sound. If you want loud, just rev above 3.5k rpm in Sport or Sport +. If you want to quiet it down, short shift or switch to Comfort. There is a bit of drone with Fabspeed if you stay around 3k for a bit but I don't mind it.

Anyone has done Akrapovic catback with Fabspeed downpipe. I wonder How would that sound like.

Does anyone know what wide Akra pipes are? and opening of tips?

Best sound on N55 and S55 platforms. So unique.

I haven't record a sound clip yet. Maybe I can share during the weekend. The turbo sound is insane with this combo👍😁

i have a fabspeed sportcat also , dinan intake, ESS tune etc. mod bug is itching so this is the perfect thread for me...

Considering exhaust also as long as the drone isn't insane. my car is a weekender so just looking forward to mean sounds and making it even more fun than it already is .

Im seeing that many of you have already modded the downpipe so its good to see the feedback in here.

subbed!

Yes, the purpose of removing it is just to generate more noise/burbles/pops.

I have some comparison videos here if it helps:

What didn't you like about the Meisterschaft in regards to the sound? seems pretty similar to Remus but at a pretty decent price break.

For me Remus (with stock cats + flaps open by default, including cold start) is extremely loud already. I can't imagine putting a sport cat on because of the cold starts. Although I would like a sport cat for when the engine is warm and doing pulls.

Second reason preventing me from putting on a sport cat is that the local tracks (mostly Laguna) have ~90 dB limits, which I feel I'm getting dangerously close to already.

No-one's mentioning the Fabspeed muffler-free system, which is what I have, in conjunction with a Fabspeed sports cat. Correct me if I'm wrong but surely this system, which is essentially a straight pipe, must be the noisiest of all ? I love mine but either I'm deaf or it's not what I would call particularly noisy. I need MORE noise so what can I do ? I have to keep the catalyser because the fines are too high here in France.

I think most of these valved systems will essentially straightpipe (post-cat) when the valves are open, thus the only remaining restriction will be the cat/sport-cat. If you can't remove the cat, I don't think you can get any louder.
