I went with AA single midpipe and Remus Race, but there's no guarantee of fitment since it hasn't been done. Valvetronics + Remus working/fitting would ease me a bit if anything haha.

Just when I thought I decided on a exhaust Valvetronic drops their titanium version. I was planning on going with the AA mid pipe and Remus sport rear. But now I think I might just go with the full titanium Valvetronic.

Waiting for some sound clips before I decide lol. Titanium usually gives it a different sound than the stainless version. Their stainless sounds awesome. They just posted a shot of their titanium yesterday on their IG. Looks very sexy

Nice system & sound! I'd probably buy this one if my money wasn't already committed to the PSI mid pipe.

No I meant to post the titanium version. What i meant was their stainless sounds great. They just posted the titanium version yesterday. Hoping it sounds just as good or better than the stainless version.

I just looked it up since you posted to check it out. Man it's beautiful lol. To bad it's under the car. Decent uptick in price over stainless so hopefully it sounds a decent amount better as well. I thought the full stainless system was a little quiet myself over some of the others.

In other news, I traveled up 4 hours to get my Remus axleback fitted to my valvetronic midpipe but no go. I feel like I am cursed.
See the pics attached. The sleeve that goes inside the remus tube on one side and stock midpipe at the other end is not long enough. The reason being the Remus tubes are short and wont link up with the midpipe. I guess the angle is okay. But I wont know for sure unless I check again. So I am going to ramp up the car again tomorrow and hopefully make a couple of videos. Should I get an exhaust shop to fabricate another sleeve or can the Remus sleeve be extended somehow. I am fairly ignorant when it comes to these things. I dont think the valvetronic clamps will work as the remus tube is a bit fatter. Any ideas guys. |

The quality of the exhaust looks top notch. Which tips did you go with, chrome angled (rolled)? |

These are black chrome angled which my vendor states are exclusive to them. I was told that if I managed to get this exhaust on, it would sound horrendously loud. They had the gpf back on the owner's car and he let me listen to his car. Man it sounded glorious even for a gpf back. The cold start rattling kind of sound i always hear on these G8x was nowhere to be heard. It was an amplified stock, deep growling sound but only better in every way. I am really happy to get the Remus and will hopefully get it installed. |

These guys installed Shmee's development Remus system. You can see clips of how Shmee's car sounded from outside. They said they could still hear his car for a long time after he left their shop
Got my exhaust off them. The sound in the video is nowhere near as good as it was when I heard it in person. It was the right amount of loud and even cold start sounded really good. |

This sounds perfect IMO. Not too loud but enough to make a difference! It'll be interesting to see what the US version will sound like. Looking forward to this more and more. |

Thank you. I don't think this will need a lot of work. I will hopefully have a cheap fix soon. My mind is in overtime now I think now I have three sets of clamps. One from remus, one came with the valvetronic midpipe. I also have another set of clamps lying about. If I could somehow use them to complete the installation, I will be a happy man. I think, if all else fails, I can cut a piece from factory midpipe and use a pair of extra clamps to make an extension. But I have a feeling, it will sound too loud, loud enough to be thrown out of the neighbourhood I think. To me, the single midpipe with valve controller is the ideal set up but I also want to get rid of the suitcase/cows udder and hence I bought the remus. |
