Installing Remus Axle Back Exhaust with Carbon Fiber tips on my 2018 BMW M550I. Is it worth it??

[@lmSteveo]

I deleted both resonators. Sport plus has crazy crackles when you left off the gas. Stepping down to sport individual, sport, comfort and eco, the crackles get less. Imo it sounds stock in eco and comfort. I would def delete both and do the straight pipe vs the X pipe. You can always put it in the lower modes to make the sound less aggressive.I find it pointless to do 1 or the xpipe. You can always make the sound less aggressive base on what mode you choose but you can’t make it more aggressive if your limited by keeping 1 or both resonators. Catless downpipes is the best was to get some aggressive sounds.

Thank you for letting me know. Good thing you mention not doing the x pipe, I spoke with a shop this week and they wanted to do the x pipe instead of straight pipe. They were busy and didnt have time to do the work but now that you say that Im glad I didnt do it lol

I have a Remus axel back on my G30 540 and it sounds amazing, especially in sport and sport plus. It "growls" on acceleration as well as when you decelerate. I also have a downpipe and a tune. With the tune you can adjust the burbles. Maybe that's the difference.

[@indigoscat3922]

Most likely the downpipes are the difference. Mine sounds louder for sure but not as loud as I would of liked it. Still have not done resonator delete but will be doing it soon for sure

I see you have those Chinese exhaust tips that are short as well.

[@indigoscat3922]

Not sure if they chinese lol. But yeah they are short for that diffuser. Im taking the car to exhaust shop to fix the fitment on the rear

[@RaxTry]

I think it sounds good but I think for just a lil bit more money you get a full exhaust system right. Nice videos BTW

[@indigoscat3922]

Totally agree with you, at the time I honestly thought would sound a bit louder. In camera sound loudler than in person lol. Will be doing a resonator delete and call it a day, I think that should do it

[@BLVCKSheepVlogs]

Had one of these in Hawaii. If you want more noise but not too obnoxious delete the resonators. It won’t throw a code.

[@indigoscat3922]

Will be doing it soon

[@suemer]

Can you Tell me the Size of the Tips? They Look amazing! I Love them

[@indigoscat3922]

I dont remember honestly, i bought them of Alibaba and got the biggest one they had but I dont recall the size to be honest.

[@suemer]

I mean the length and the inlet size, they could be a lil bit longer but it really looks amazing to me

[@indigoscat3922]

@@suemer I found the order details on alibaba. Inlet is 60mm, outlet 93mm and the lenght 180mm. You can ask them to make them even longer and they will do it, you just have to find a seller willing to customize it for you. It took me about 2 weeks to get it and costed $120 and like $60 for shipping.

[@suemer]

Thanks for the Infos friend👍🏻 Appreciate that! I will do what you say, even asked remus over here in Germany- the original tips have the length of195mm😊

[@indigoscat3922]

@@suemer yeah that sounds about right. I got the 180 and even tho they were good, I would of like them to be a bit longer. Good luck with your build!!

[@Drae5]

You got to get the full Cat-back system or cut the resonators

[@indigoscat3922]

Only axle back, still have stock resonators.

[@Drae5]

@@indigoscat3922 got you. I actually have a pair of Remus mid pipes brand new if your interested?

[@erjbo]

Do you know where that rear diffuser originally came from?

[@indigoscat3922]

Unfortunately I dont. Guy I bought the exhaust from gave it to me on the deal.

[@dky41]

Hello, what difusser is that? Thanks!

[@indigoscat3922]

Im not sure, I got it from the guy who sold me the exhaust as a package deal

[@MallyG30]

Need that diffuser . I have the oem m550 one . So bland

[@B58_TAYF]

CHOP BOTH RES BRO!!!!

[@indigoscat3922]

Will do

[@hakim8476]

Hows the reliability been on the 550? Heard they eat up oil

[@indigoscat3922]

So far its been great. I already did an oil change recently and oil level was good. Only issue so far was the ac not getting cold enough about a month ago but with a recharge was good to go. Shop pressure tested 3 times and no freon leaks. Besides that its been amazing

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

2019. Not a problem at ALL. Well not entirely true. Bitch burns some serious petro in sport plus.

[@gosu5850]

Aside from maintenance it’s good but remember maintenance on a BMW is crazy so

[@indigoscat3922]

@@gosu5850 It depends how you look at it. That requires more care than a Toyota or Honda probably yes, but maintenance is not really that much more expensive. For example an oil change would cost more than a Japanese car but keep in mind this car takes almost 10 quarts of oil versus other cars that take 5 or less sometimes.
