With the Remus you got no drone.

First I bought the Supersprint export version, sounds great but the drone was much to loud. Now I got the Remus and everything is fine...

I have had aftermarket exhausts on all my cars so my taste for volume is probably different than most. I think the SS is loud but not Harley loud by any means. You can make the exhaust drone but you can avoid it too for the most part. To be honest, you should find someone with a SS setup near you and check it out. Check out others too. video footage is mostly misleading. I am sure the Remus is a fine setup and sounds pretty tame if that is what you want.

Thanks Burt

I like the power loop but for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for the sound I am looking for is to $$
I was told the Remus is German aproved and they have crazy sound laws so the sound should be very mellow very close to stock. I guess i can remove the center section to help increase it if not happy.
I like the SS but it is loud and its hard to control the sound in certain RPM/drone at some cruising speed.

I have a Corsa on my Z06 vette great sound very loud but at cruise no sound no drone & you can control the noise with the throttle.
I called corsa & they said with my friends muffler shop in Dallas they can help us make a custom system to achive the same results as my Z06, It would be risking $$$ if it dosent work+ no guarentee what it will sound like.

UUC is having Corsa build their next gen exhaust system for e46M, M6, M5, new M3 .

I don't know if there are any differences between our german "supersprint export" version and the ones you get in the states but belive me the drone is horrible! Especially in a coupe...

Me and 4 guys I know bought the Supersprint for the m coupé and EVERYONE sold it until today (because of drone).

WOW the install was a pain. I had to take it to my muffler shop to get it perfect. The back bracket on the exhaust has a brace that dosent allow enough room to fit, made some minor adjustments & its perfect. I had to drive to the exhaust shop without the exhaust istalled, wow that was very loud, not a good loud. VERY HAPPY

I am happy with the exhaust, sound is much better than stock without any drone, it should get louder in the next few months. If you want it a little louder you can always change out the center X pipe & remove the resonator. I am having a special X being made for me that I can remove. my biggest complaint about the car it was to quite, you need a good sound from your sport cars.


I will take pictures this weekend i just dont know how to post. I had my 3rd brake light tinted & all reflectors to match the saf black, it looks great. The paint shop is a special high end shop in Dallas that works on cars for sema & high end motor cycle co. My friend had his black M6 reflectors & tail lights painted by the same co.
