Does the Remus have valves?
No other mods and yes valves.

I spent a good part of today and many other watching vidoes and reading and talking to people. I think I'm sold on the Remus. It's also much cheaper than the Akrapovic that I initially wanted too

You won't be disappointed! I have about 800 miles on it now and it's getting better.

As that exhaust is "Not for road use" how will it pass the emissions test?. Thanks, or will you remove it before testing.

Emissions testing isn't a thing anymore in WA state here in the US. I'm hearing many states are doing away with it. Some folks in CA may want to comment as i'm guessing they have to deal with the most strict emissions/sound level laws

Wow, noise/decibel now? That's insane! In California they changed the law that new cars no longer have to take the emissions test for 6 or 8 years after purchase. That gives us plenty of time to play before we have to put the car stock. After that initial time period, I'm not sure how often you need to check.

In my case, I'm in CA but my company is out of state which is where my car will be registered and spend most of it's time.

It would be great if it was like that here.

This is true and helpful. I believe it is every two years after the initial 6 year period.

But as far as mods go in California. Nothing is legal. Unless it has a CARB sticker which nothing does. Any exhaust mod even an axel back system can cause you to get a REF ticket which is not fun... trust me. It really depends on the cop and his mood.

I just installed the cat back version. I did it by myself with no lift so it was a little time consuming being that I was laying on my garage floor on my back. The midpipe section took me the longest to get aligned but after that it was easy going. I'm really happy with the sound. It's the way this car should've been! The carbon tips are high quality as well. If you purchased the axle back you will need to cut the factory exhaust in that area where it connects.
For some reason my box was missing the installation instructions as well as some hardware. I could not find a single install document online so I just went with what I knew mechanically and could figure out by looking at things. Setting the spring clips on the valves were a little tricky without direction but I figured it out after playing around with them for a few minutes. The hardware that I was missing I actually had laying around as I have other stuff with similar bolt/thread patterns that I work on.
Was kind of surprised Remus has nothing on their website as far as supporting installation instructions or videos.

Coming from a $8K Akrapovic system that I had on my X5M I will say the Remus is a damn bargain and solidly built. It actually sounds better as well. The fitment is not as dialed in and you do have to play with the adjustments a little more to get the mid sections and mufflers to line up evenly but we are talking about a substantial difference in price between the two so I can live with that.

Thanks so much for all the info. Do you know how to cut the exhaust and what tools are necessary since the stainless steel on the stock exhaust is strong.

Absolutely!

Also, now have ~3500 miles on the exhaust, and it has really opened up! I've added a RaceChip GTS Black to the mix and it has made the exhaust even better. Slightly changed the burbles and pops to a better sound. To me, the drop in filters, charcoal filter delete, Remus Cat Back Exhaust, and RaceChip GTS Black is the ultimate mod combination for those who are conservative with their modding.
