My M2 with Remus Catback
Fellow M2 owners. After having no luck hearing any aftermarket exhaust (besides the M-Performance) I took a chance on the Remus Sport Catback. Install was fairly simple as Remus provided instructions and I have a couple friends come over and assist. Knowing what I do now, this is probably a 3 hour job if you take your time. So far, I really like it although I do hope it opens up a bit and gets louder. I made a quick video and have posted it below. Let me know if anyone has any questions or wants a different type of video. I am more than willing to help as I know how hard it is to tell the tone with YouTube.
I finally purchased a GoPro and external mic. Here is a video of me driving around town. Another video but from the interior driving around town. Last edited by LindsayEOD; 09-01-2017 at 11:31 AM.. Reason: Uploaded a new video |

Thanks for the video, i placed an order for one on Friday and like you had only heard the MPE, so am also taking a bit of a gamble.
Were you in comfort or sport mode in the video? Sounds like you are a bit dissapointed in the volume over stock? |

I was in Sport+ for the entire video. I will say that under 2000 rpm, you can barely hear a difference. The volume is better, but it just isn't loud enough, yet. I am going to give it ~1,000 miles and reassess. I will say that is was a bit of a pain to line up the actual mufflers and keep everything from rubbing. That took a solid 30 minutes just for minute adjustments.

From previous experience the note will change slightly after 1000kms or so, not sure if it will get much louder though. I'm getting mine workshop installed so hopefully they are able to line everything up properly for me. |

I love the deeper bassy sound Remus exhaust makes.
Currently interested in Remus DP + Catback exhaust + a bigger air intake. I think the DP will improve the sound. |

I agree, the deep tone is great. I just want more volume which is why I will probably go Sport cat at some point.

I think your car looks great and sounds great as I’m not looking for anything too loud. I saw the Remus Catback at the Essen Motor Show last December and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I know it comes in a kit but I understand the OEM exhaust is one piece correct?
I’d like to keep the OEM exhaust but if it’s one piece, getting it home and storing it would be a challenge. Any chance you can make a video of the sound from inside the car (windows open and closed would be nice) as I’d like to assess the sound in the cabin and thereby, the wife’s level of tolerance for increased noise! |

As far as an interior video, I will definitely try but I don't know how much you will be able to hear with the windows up besides the active sound. When the valves are closed, it cannot be heard. Just like stock. I'll try to get it done tomorrow and will post on the OP. |

Thanks for all these videos, makes the wait for mine to be installed harder though.

so what happens with the cable connecting the two valves? won't the exhaust get super hot and damage it over time?
does it get tucked away somewhere? |
