Just an FYI guys, the Remus guys came by yesterday for a visit along with their full exhaust system on a 997S consisting of highflow cats, headers, exhaust and tips. I've snapped a few pictures of what's involved as we're going to be carrying the product which I think will cater quite well to a certain type of owner. Their whole aim is to have no resonance and after listening to it they've certainly achieved it. The sound is not as aggressive as a Tubi or an AWE that we carry so for folks looking for a "quieter" end result this set up fits in nicely. Under load it sounds very Porsche-esque but with a few more DBs. I'd say somewhere just above the PSE (as a full system). Knowing that they have long made exhausts for Tech Art, Gemballa etc... and on the Mercedes side for Brabus they've certainly got some pedigree and are not new to the game so to speak (They've also done a lot of OEM-type of work). We'll be installing it shortly on a 997S here locally and I'll let you guys know more then. For now, I really like some of the little touches- for example, the kit comes with "pre-made/bent brackets" so that you don't need to bend the stock ones when installing the exhaust (otherwise you'll get rubbing). The expensive "accuseal" style clamps are nice as well. The headers when installed don't hang any lower than stock like most of the other ones I've seen. This is especially nice for all the lowered cars out there....





The price of the system is as follows:
$1320 for the headers
$2050 for the cats
$1550 for the mufflers
$550 for the tips (so far the best tips I've seen for the 997S).

NB: This will also work on the 997 but only as a _complete_ system.

This doesn't change the fact that for folks that want something more aggressive sounding we go with either the AWE or Tubi (those are the only other two we sell for the 997 application).

 

Just curious, do they they make any performance claims?

 

My brother just put the Remus exhaust on his 997 S, with X-51 Headers, Stock Cats and tips.

He said the difference in the Resonance was very noticeable.

They work as advertised.

 

Hey 4th Porsche, my bad I should have stated that originally. The claimed HP for the system is 18HP. Now bear in mind that in Europe (ask Jean lol!) when they claim HP they are very much on the conservative side.

 

yummy!!!!!!

 

"Resonance", a drone at a certain rpm, is considered undesirable. Is this what you really mean here or no?

 

Yes. Most noticeable in 6th at Highway speeds. In addition I would describe it as low frequency pulsing. The e-bay headers reduced it significantly in my car.
My brother made several changes at once. Changed tires from worn Pirellis to PS2's(on HRE wheels) and the exhaust. The tires first, drove it several times then the exhaust. He is very happy with exhaust and the reduced "resonance" noise in the cabin with a nicer noise on the outside but not excessive.

I am sure with high flow cats the outside and possibly the inside would change yet again.

He is also very happy with the HRE's and PS-2 combination. He said the reduction in unsprung weight is
very noticeable resulting in improved handling and ride.

 

Is this the same system as this ?

Looks like it, can you confirm?

 

A question about the 'will only fit non-S as full system'. Is it a problem fitting the stock cats or ?? I am looking for mufflers, already have Supersprint headers, and would like to keep stock cats. (Mass. emissions ).

I have had great luck with Remus exhaust systems on my Ducati's over the years, and would like to try their mufflers on a 997.

The site I linked seems to say so.

 

My brother put a Remus on his C2S with stock cats. He has a Remus on his BMW bike too.

 

I'm looking into this but from the other systems it's usually just the diameter of the tubing and the tips that's different so it can be made to work.

 

that's it...

 

With other systems, the normal difference is the tips and the muffler outlet pipe. Usually, you can use the muffler and the 'S' tips on a non-S car. Just not the standard non-S tips.

Am I missing something here?
