[@lesarsenal6591]

I’m wondering how much this system cost and where can I order one ?

[@KseriesKyle]

Man I love this car. Best exterior/interior spec! Unique looking car for sure. Can’t wait for more content, as much as I loved the Alfa this is a great replacement.

[@autofanaticcars]

More to come! this car how I set it up so far is so much fun and the manual 6 speed really tops it off

[@qv36]

I miss seeing the QV content, but great stuff as always!

[@autofanaticcars]

gonna shoot more QV content soon on the 22 Stelvio QV and my buddies 18 QV and do some cool comparisons etc just waiting for the weather to warm up and us both to switch back to summer tires for more fun. I also bought a 23 Stelvio Veloce thats coming in about week to modify.

[@williamk1800]

Loved my Remus on my Golf R, and they'll always be my favourite exhaust brand on any future car I get. Hopefully I'll have a G87 M2 and accompanying Remus in the future, cheers for the comprehensive video.

[@autofanaticcars]

M2 is gonna be a sweet car and one of the last ICE 6 speed M i bet, I may get one of those because I like the smaller size

Have you tried using the auto blip function on the down shifts yet?

I would buy a plane ticket just to listen to your setup in person. Also, my transmission finally got replaced last Tuesday. It’s as smooth as butter. I realized I‘ve been driving with a faulty/diminished transmission since early September. Nonetheless, I will consider this exhaust setup for my G80 Base.

[@autofanaticcars]

You are welcome anytime to stop by the shop and il audition my car for you, in person it is on a different level I met with a friend yesterday who has just a AA Midpipe on his G80 and he could not believe how loud and deep my car sounded.

its freaking so loud my friend came with the Alfa QV the other day his car has the Centerline 3 inch Stradale Race exhaust and its loud and reving both cars you can not hear the QV the M3 overpowers the sound. We are doing a comparison video on both cars soon and will do a db meter on both

Sad to see the QV go - I am on my second - 21 and I thought your videos were ace - care understand why you got M3 - it's not ugly and I like the sound but not as much as QV - good work

[@autofanaticcars]

the QV was broken far too many times i discussed this in detail in my prior M3 videos. with lack of support from the dealers and the corporation i just could not take it anymore. the M3 is an awesome driving daily driver and the manual RWD spec is why i did it. it is more fun than the QV to drive with the manual and way louder on the exhaust end, the QV is awesome but having a broken car 80% of the time is not worth owning anymore and it was time to move on for the time being.

[@markrichards5944]

Agreed - I had an 18 model QV which I got fed up with ongoing issues - hopefully 21 better but if not I would consider an M3 again - thanks

[@autofanaticcars]

Mark did your 18 have electrical issues? My car suffered the water intrusion problem from the front cowl 3 years ago and the car was never the same. I would hit the throttle at 80mph the car would just shut off loose power and have to drift off onto the shoulder. Hit bumps and the car would die. Every day it rained the car would be dead or have dash faults and limp mode. It was getting out of control. The day prior to me buying the M3 the ABS failed in the pouring rain, always bad situations when it rained with my QV and the car jumped the curb and almost went head on into a tree this is when I said enough is enough it has to go before further depreciation settled in i did the deal at the perfect time. My 21 QV was excellent and felt much better built so I hope yours is going to be trouble free. Few guys with 21-22 have told me their fuel pumps went bad and they got stuck but it might have been isolated incidents. I just bought a 2023 Stelvio Veloce to replace my tired 19 Stelvio Ti Sport.

[@markrichards5944]

Hi first limp home problem occurred during thunderstorm and dealer put it down to strike on carbon fibre roof overloading electrics which blew out abs window wipers motor and cost £2300 to repair £1700 for diagnostics !! The history of the car was little suspicious and this combined with ongoing electrical problems on monthly basis and smell of sulphur on hard acceleration - gut feeling to move it on - 21 seems so much better so far (5 months in) - there is a big problem here in the UK too re dealer support - I will see how it goes but my experience with bmw service and support was like as you say night and day - thanks again

[@autofanaticcars]

thanks for also sharing sounds like your 18 was an issue just like mine and maybe water was the culprit. I wish they had better dealer support globally because everyone complains who I speak with. In 4.5 years of doing Alfa content i have spoken to thousands of owners all over the globe. For some strange reason nobody seems to have big issues with the Stelvio 2.0 or the Giulia 2.0 it always seems to be the Giulia QV that suffer most electrical issues and I wish I understood why this is the case.

[@eddierijo558]

Great Sounding Exhaust thinking about getting one for my G80. Did you use the OEM Black Tips? Or did you find the Remus Black Chrome Tips?

Can you delete active sound without unlocking the ECU? Because I don’t want to send my ECU out and if that’s not possible I can’t take this exhaust 😢

Mixed feelings about this exhaust, but better than the crappy stock unit. I have an M340i paired with MPE and AA catted downpipe which I absolutely love. For some reason BMW haven’t been able to get the exhaust tone right since the e92/e90 M’s. Btw, are you going to get into the tuning game? I just got my dme unlocked via femto.

[@autofanaticcars]

you gotta hear this system in person like I mentioned in the video and description it is so difficult to audio record something this loud with the deep frequency tones. Will explore tuning once the ECU unlock does not require sending the ECU to Russia.

[@autofanaticcars]

Original down pipes all others removed

[@c6manny]

Nice comprehensive video. As you mentioned, you did your research and listened to a lot of other setups. It seems you got the sound you were after, but can you share why you feel this system wouldn’t benefit from an H, X or single pipe in the mid section for a smoother sound/tone? Your car does sound nice and aggressive. A perfect setup for my taste would be a single Midpipe paired with this Remus race axle back. 👍🏼

[@autofanaticcars]

I looked at all the systems on the market and it seems every company does things a bit different, some feel the single midpipe is best other feel single equal length it all depends. I think most brands do these things to separate themselves from a very competitive market for exhausts on these cars.If you read the forums and vendors it can be very biased pointing to making sales rather than real performance gains. The one thing I dislike is most aftermarket systems do not increase pipe diameter so how can it gain more power in the long run Considering the resources REMUS has I kinda trusted their development on this one. When I watched SCHMEE150 video on his car last year I knew this is what I wanted.

[@Twiztid_Metal]

AF, I'd believe it'd be worth investing in a simple Rode mic to plug into your iPhone for these kinda vids. You've yet to install anything low quality on any cars you own so I'll take your word that this exhaust sounds better in person!

[@autofanaticcars]

I have so many RODE and other mics they pop and blow out with the SPL these exhausts make it is impossible to get them to work even with my Tascam and Zoom audio recorders the Iphone at a distance is the only device that does not pop and blow the audio out. recoding exhaust this loud requires mega expensive equipment and I am not Top Gear lol.

[@jcjdm9057]

catless dp？

[@autofanaticcars]

the REMUS race connects from where the Secondary were and back, it only removed the secondary and all other pipes, downpipes are stock

[@hg1496]

It's basically a straight through design right ? No resonators or cross overs.

[@autofanaticcars]

no they tuned it by the bends in the pipes, diameter and wall thickness and the rear muffler with cross over pipe from the front box to the rear box section

[@pacoflyer]

That is a nice system but way too much rasp for me. I'm looking at valvetronics new wiggle single they've designed.

[@autofanaticcars]

come listen to my car in person and why would you rather waste money on an overpriced Chinese exhaust with no warranty for your German car?

[@pacoflyer]

@autofanaticcars I may ask a local shop to duplicate the new design. But even the Chinese stuff has 2 year warranty lol. I'm still waiting for my car delivery, but if someone else comes out with a wiggle single I would take a look. Sound is more important to me than where it came from. It's just metal pipe it can be modified or adjusted

[@ryanmattson1735]

The drone was awful when I had the Remus race exhaust. A mid pipe and stock muffler was the answer

[@autofanaticcars]

the drone is because you did not FULLy delete Active Sound Design i had the same issue the first few days and realized how awful the ASD amplified and drives you crazy in the cabin. Once I fully deleted it by coding it out with Bimmercode Test Flight its freaking awesome now and I daily drive this without any issues.

turning it off and fully deleting the programming is quite different but this exhaust is not for everyone it is extreme and unless you have owned cars with extreme exhausts before this is not the choice to go for.

Would sound better paired with a single equal length mid pipe

[@autofanaticcars]

that is total nonsense everyone talks about on forums all from small vendors pushing those parts I think i trust the largest exhaust company to design a system properly from the ground up in a 12 million dollar dyno room to acoustically tune their exhaust and also following BMW M original design layout instead of following and chasing trends from small time vendors. I had a guy come with a full Active Autowerke system with downpipes on his M4 and he was BLOWN away how much better my car sounded and it just shows you videos can not truly capture the sound of these systems. Revving up both cars you could not even hear his M4 side by side that is how overpowering and deep the REMUS Race system is.

I just don't understand all of the hate in these comments. I had an F80 with the Performance Package, so Akrapovic exhaust from the factory, and it was "raspy" but so, so much better than the standard exhaust. I know this exhaust might not be for everyone, but it is an amazing sound nonetheless. Do I prefer the sounds that come from my Z06? Sure, but this is still awesome. Thanks for the great video.

[@autofanaticcars]

it doesn't bother me, it is because I had an Alfa Romeo QV for 4.5 years and my audience disliked i got rid of a broken unreliable unsafe car that almost killed me 50+ times for the M3, The M3 modified like I have is so much fun I am enjoying it every single day so that is all that matters in the end. I also still love my Shelby GT350R and the other cars I own so each car is unique in their own rights.

[@Mike-dd8bd]

Never been a fan of now the S58 sounds. I admire the effort to try to get the sound right by importing exactly what you want. It’s the only real downside to this car. The setup here sounds OK in my opinion. Of course all of the competition 6 cylinders sound better, but they lack in driving dynamics.

[@autofanaticcars]

in person this car sound wicked it is not for the faint thats for sure but this is what I wanted since the car was so refined and quiet bone stock now the resonance comes into the pedals and seat and makes the car feel alive, 1000% better in person than the video reveals

this really isn't raspy it is so deep and loud but the Iphone can not capture it. read the comments on those valvetronic videos of that car they altered the sound in editing lots of guys on the net know about that by now that is why it sounds different. That car also had a different midpipe that was never sold to the public so combined with all that those videos are not accurate at all of their system on these cars.
