Having trouble figuring out all the parts necessary for this system. It's my favorite of all the exhaust videos I've seen so far. I see an upgrade to equal length headers but which exhaust system do I pair with? USA MY 2020.

That setup is available from Milltek via their website, UK based company. You won't be touching the manifolds (not headers, that's for NA cars), the system in the video is an OPF back system (or secondary-cat back since in the US we don't have OPF, but rather 2 more cats). They SHOULD be releasing a US spec version of the EL setup that goes from the down pipes back, leaving the primary cats but removing the secondaries. The "equal-ing" of the exhausts is done under the trunk, as seen below.

The video is NOT my car though, but I'm fairly certain that is the setup. You should give the normal Milltek system a listen, I think it sounds way better than the EL setup.

You really think the UEL system sounds better than the new EL??

I always thought it was equal length headers that make that sweet F1 like sound....

I love the Remus sound. I think there's only so much you can do to make this motor sound good

Just finished installing it today: AA Mid and Remus Race rear. Thanks mike@x-ph.com !

Instructions weren't the best, but it is done. Still need to fine tune the tips to get them aligned.

Louder than I thought but sounds mean. Especially cold start.

I'll get some pics and maybe video tomorrow.

100%. I've yet to hear an EL setup that sounds good... The Milltek EL is a no-go for me, but the AA EL might be good, it's really hard to tell from their ear-pearcingly loud video on their IG.

For example, an AA mid and Remus rear, which is a UEL setup, sounds amazing. I believe I'm one of the rare few that actually enjoys the sound of the S55.

Agree on both.
