Yeah it definitely is. You can ceramic coat your whole exhaust system. I almost did it on my Full titanium Akrapovic for my Ducati Panigale V2. This bikes exhaust routes under your seat and can get pretty hot on long rides especially in the summer. Your ass is on fire it feels like sometimes lol. People do it to help with the heat. I decided not to do it because it would've defeated one of the reasons i got a full titanium system. It would've coated the pipes all black and I would've lost that beautiful color of titanium.

That’s really cool, if that’s the case then getting the tips coated would be easily and cheap. That might be the way to go

I like this style as there’s a nice clean line under the tips, hugging them if you will, rounding off the rear nicely imho.
About to place my order for Remus cat back through Mike at x-ph. Now looking for aftermarket diffuser. I like this look and also the m5 style (which doesn’t have anything underneath) that jets out a bit around the top of the exhaust tips.

Woukd you mind sharing a link to where you got yours? How’s the fitment and install? Did you consider any other diffusers before buying this one?

I have however this was one of the only ones that would fit the carbon titanium tips, so was one of my only choices,
For the price it’s a good diffuser, some have mentioned it started to warp underneath after a while, mine is still perfect.

That price is kind of a joke! Glad to hear that it fits and looks great for such an unbelievable low price. I ordered the Remus CF titanium tips as well. Does this jjst click into place or are there additional screws required?

Easy install, 30 min or so. Just have to remove the 8 torx under the OEM from what I remember, pull off, repeat in reverse for the aftermarket.

I’m excited for you, Titanium Carbon tips look great on this fantastic sounding system!!!

It is a great diffuser for the money. I know CF is a priority for you though.

Not necessarily true since I have CF tips on the way I was debating maybe going gloss black for diffuser haven’t decided quite yet.

Yea man I’m really excited now! Order placed and I keep rewatching the same vids of the Remus exhaust! Now jjst playing the waiting game as the axel back portion is backordered until august. Will the tips fit in the stock diffuser? I’ve read conflicting reports, although it’s possible that it could have been for a different model year where the OEM diffuser that didn’t fit the Remus tips. Just would like to confirm before the exhaust lands and I try to install it. I’ll gladly buy a new diffuser if I have to.

My stock m sport diffuser fit fine, I have pre LCI 2018. I’m pretty sure the opening size even in LCI models is the same width, allowing the carbon tips to fit. Both of my YouTube videos show the stock diffuser, which was wrapped gloss black at the time.
