REMUS Back Boxes
- Thread starter pHilli0
- Start date
I think JE has had some good dealings with them in the past. I tried to purchase some aero skirts from them, but their website pricing isn't necessarily what they will try to charge and sometimes you just can't get hold of them.
Might be best going through JE if you are trying to use them, he seems to have the 'knack' of dealing with MStyle

pHilli0, I have REMUS back boxes on mine which I'm really happy with. Not a million miles from you down towards Enfield Town if you want a listen. They add a deeper note from idle and shout a bit louder than normal as you open it up... When I hear the car driven by others I'm always amazed how good it sounds from outside!

Hey thanks I may take you up on that offer at a weekend
where did the get them from? I been looking at mstyle and larkspeed so far. I have been hearing good things.. no drone, quiet at a cruise and loud enough to put a smile on your face when you're on itPhil
No probs, let me know! It's really hard choosing an exhaust as no video ever really captures what they sound like...
I bought mine 2nd hand from the forum 3-4 years back so can't help on sorcing them new I'm afraid.
IIRC the differences I noticed when I first put them on was a much nicer and deeper note on idle, and when pushing it it just growls louder than before, in a tunnel it's a lot of fun 8) It's all subjective but I also thought the changes were relatively subtle, initially I was maybe expecting a bit more but I feel these are absolutely right for me, they're not lairy or boy racery, they're just a nice boost to what I thought was quite a muted exhaust note with the originals.
In terms of drone there is a slight drone around 2.2k rpm until about 2.4k (think it's those RPMs) but it's not terrible by any means and these backboxes are so much better than the originals in my opinion, which just didn't do the car any justice for me.

Yea they do sound on paper like the perfect solution. The drone around 2.2 to 2.4 should't bother me. That's the reason I want to move away from the OEM, cos I like the metalic rasp but its all a bit ... subdued...My M is currently in an Indy having some work done including Schrick 280s & DLC followers, Eventuri Intake fitted and then its off to Evolve mid June for a custom map. I wasn't planning on spending $$$ on cams but mine started to tick in a very ill way so had no choice but to replace them.
Do you track much?

They're the same as mine. I bought mine second hand from the forum too (for half this amount). They were barely used when I got them and they've since developed a much richer tone after getting really hot over many track days. I don't get any drone from mine, certainly nothing intrusive, but it may be that I can't hear the drone over my aFe intake. The combination sound best when really hot. I'm also always really pleased when I hear the car from outside.
I actually almost bought an RPI system before I got these. I'm glad I didn't having heard how awful they can drone at motorway cruising speeds.

Oof, that sounds expensive!! Mine too were half price over new ones, bit of a no brainer so I went for it without having heard them!
As for rasp - it will be interesting what BMWZ4MC thinks about this - but I felt the Remus boxes change the existing rasp to more of a growl... Also might be worth mentioning I had an E46 M3 before this which had a real rasp, and even with the standard exhaust I was surprised that the Z4MC sounded a lot less raspy - maybe due to muffling and a shorter exhaust overall??

Let me know when you decide to sell your new ones... I'll take them off you second hand and half price...
Also after a set!Anyone looking for something more bespoke than current offerings I'm still in the process of having some custom made backboxes developed at BCS Powervalve .http://www.powervalve.co.uk/
Due there with car on the 13thJune for a pre fit with actual fit being mid July
After that they should be available off the shelf as with the Remus & RPi
