remus 04 exhaust installed 2day

[pheby]

hello all had two new back boxes installed 2day on 99 v plate m5 2day sounds better than the stock but not as deep as i thought it would be ,fitter recons when worn in should sound deeper than is now ,is ther anythihg i can change to get even more sound out of the exhaust that anyone could no. The to boxes bought and fitted a total of £383.05 what do you think of this price and what do you think of the remus system.

I have a Remus system on my 523i and I have to say it is worth the ~500euros I paid for it. I will take a least a couple of thousand KM's before it is broken in (soundwise). It should have a nice burble to it....not to deep and not to soft. By the way is it the "Romulus" system or just plain Remus? Dont worry what BD says....LOL....he had a bad experience with Remus(at least i think it was him...LOL).....

I sure did and will not support a company that refuses to stand behind it's warranty. One year on a new Remus system is bunk! Their name fits though, "Ream Us"!

Yeah I feel you on the warranty thing.....but the Muffler system i have has NOT rusted thru(3years and still strong)....

Remus sound nice but why remus when stromung exists? hehe

I am sure Ream Us has fixed some of their quality control problems, but that does not mean I will buy from them! And Eric is correct, there are hundreds of better systems out there.

Better? Hundreds? BD I am sure you have tested all of them. And Eric just mentioned one in particular........I have seen Bimmers with Stromung, Supersprint, Ream-us, Borla, G-Power, Maxi-Tuner, Eisenmann(my personal fav.) and a few others that i cannot think of right now. And no complaints from their owners....I honestly think the quality is relative as it is a competitive market and that these company's would not make any money if their auspuffs were constantly "rusting through". On top of that everyone "claims" that they can get the most HP from their muffler.......but when you look at them they are all within the same range(in each so-called price class).....??? Your bad experience is the ONLY one I have heard off and I do not DOUBT it in the least. Personally if it had been me and they didnt want to honor their warranty i would have reported it to the "Better Business Burough" or taken other legal actions......I mean that is a good chunk of money spent on an item just for it to go bad.....not a trend, but it happened nonetheless.....Dont take this personal or anything just my thoughts on the subject at hand...LOL..

The installer is confused Remus is not in the ball park with AC Schnitzer or Alpina. They maybe consider a top notch company now and may have resolved their quality control issues but to compare them to AC or Alpina is like comparing VW and BMW because they are both German companies.

Marc it is difficult to take legal action when he parent company is in Germany and you are in the US. Further the cost factor to sue over a $500.00 exhaust system it not really beneficial. I do hope that Remus has resolved their issues and your systems perform well for many years!
