The dates have already been pushed multiple times and now we are expecting ,which I believe is still tentative, late January. With large sum of payments involved people like to be in the know.
The vague answers being given are the part I'm referring to.

I'm glad you've provided some accurate details. If this would have been said earlier I think there would be less probing around and trying to piecemeal answers together.

So who's the lucky one getting that one full exhaust system for testing and marketing?

We were offered the system, but didn't have the time or volunteer at that particular moment as we were involved in other projects.

A bit of material has already been released via YouTube, we'll see more videos once the systems start arriving. We've ordered a few for inventory, so those are also up for grabs.

There are no additional "sources", all Remus systems are imported/sold by Remus USA (Turn14 acquired distributorship as of Apr '21). Only way you'll see a system sooner is if US vendors are sourcing systems grey market - in which warranty will not be honored by Remus USA.

Current ETA for Remus G8x M3/M4 systems has been pushed back to ETA 1/23/22 (emphasis on ETA), with the exception of 1 full system that will be arriving sooner for testing & marketing.
Hi Tom,
I have no interest in getting into an argument with you but you kind of accused me of lying.

With all due respect, your statement is false. I'll leave it at that to keep both of us out of trouble with the admins.

Hope you have a good weekend

No, I said the responses were vague.

If there's any info in my post that is false, let me know and I'll change it.

This frankly sucks ---

My test run with a "manufacturer to be named later" is coming Tuesday. I am not allowed to say much but the builder is founder of a well know exhaust company in Italy and now has branched out and created this.

I was done looking for just an axle back or waiting months over months only to be delayed further. This was air freighted over last week and arrived yesterday. Ill do a complete post when its on.

That's a good looking exhaust. I think I know who the manufacturer is, two words and ends with a 't'.

I wish I was in Cali, I would have driven to your place and helped you install the exhaust just so I can listen to it lol. I've been patiently waiting and not sure how long I can last.

How did you manage to get the exhaust, testing it out for them?

When do you plan to get the exhaust installed?

One last question, what are those extra set of pipes near the flanges?

My local mod shop is SupremePower and he has the retail connection. He called me and I said yes.

Im getting it installed next week and Tuesday is the target.

What pipes are you eluding to? Im not sure what their design thoughts are exactly; Im just gonna take a flyer because there aint shit out there

If it's the manufacturer I'm thinking it is, I think this will sound decent. I'm excited for you to get this installed. Can't wait to here it.

Did you had to pay any customs when having it shipped from Italy?

I circled the part in red below which are in question.

The shop paid for it so I have not seen my final tally but there was some duty built in for sure... oh this pic came from the owner--- its actually a clamp or something like that I think that moves up to the area where it bolts to the primary section. I have not seen the exhaust in person.

Ill take "decent" all day with what we have heard here on video thus far with the S58.

Gotcha. I thought you laid it out all pretty for us.

If your shop or the manufacturer in Italy need guinea pigs to test out exhausts, let me know.

I agree with you on that, haven't heard a decent exhaust yet apart from Remus.

There are so many situations where an exhaust builder can really develop that high rpm rasp with this inline 6 engine. Even cars with X, H, Straight, etc have this.

One thing I must ad about standstill videos is that most rasp that we hear are from rpms way up in the range (7k ish) and in reality, we as drivers wont be stuck at that level for a long time or do we douchbaggery around town bouncing off the limit.

I really like the way my car sounds now but want more noise but dont want to accentuate the high rpm rasp further if possible. I like the Remus too but boy oh boy- where the fuck are all these exhausts at???

I agree, except for Armytrix. Looks like that exhaust rasps as soon as you get on the gas.

Looks like Shmee bought the one and only exhaust they produced. Lucky SOB.

Yea, lockdown in Austria is the reason this time. This has been delayed since september.

I hope you will be keeping this exhaust.

It looks great and i am sure will sound great as well.

Well, I've decided upon a Remus axle back. The race exhaust coupled with the AA single midpipe + catless downpipes should make for a very rowdy time. I just don't get why the tips cost so much - $1k for tips is madness. iirc, the tips on Remus exhausts wasn't bad at all for the F8X, guess they've decided to make some more profit there by forcing people to get tips since the stock tips won't work according to Mike.

I'm in no rush since I've yet to even get my car yet, but looking at these wait times thus far leaves me with little hope to get one any time soon. Oh well..
