I got my Remus Race and AA midpipe installed on Wednesday. I'll let the video clips do the talking but it's really difficult to capture how deep and loud this combo sounds. In terms of tone, there is absolutely zero rasp and it sounds pretty deep. I absolutely love it but Remus + AA mid is a bit too loud for me. I used to own an M4 Comp with MPE and I thought it was decently loud but this is quite bit louder. Throttle lift off, burbles, and cold start are all much louder and pronounced since AA mid deletes the secondary cats and the resonator. Also, Remus Race has minimal restriction in terms of volume as well. A lot of my friends (even B58 and N55 owners) highly complimented the setup and some of them even said this was the best sounding S55 they have heard. Unfortunately, as much as I love it, I also have to admit that the volume of this system is slightly above my tolerance level. Even with valves closed, it's noticeably louder than the stock exhaust. No drone by any means but I still would prefer something a bit more mild. At the end of the day, I came to the conclusion that I'm actually ok with the sound level and the tone of the stock exhaust and I just need to get rid of that muffler. I don't know what setup I'll end up getting next but I'm going back to stock for now. If anyone is interested, I listed my current setup for sale in classifieds here.

Here are some clips. The videos were originally recorded for Instagram so that's why most of them are in portrait mode. I also didn't have much time edit so please excuse the excessive and amateur blur

Wow, sounds great! Shame you can't tolerate the loudness of it, perhaps keep the AA Midpipe paired with the stock exhaust.

Definitely too loud. Why don't you try to pair the AA midpipe with the quieter Remus exhaust?

That is what I should have done probably but I'm done experimenting base on assumptions or videos. I'll just stay stock even though the tone of current setup is really good. Remus Race seems to add a ton of volume even just by itself so I'll probably go with something more mild in the future.

Does this mean you will be selling your AA and Remus setup?

Correct my AA mid and Remus are currently up for sale. There are currently a few people interested in the midpipe and I might end up keeping it but Remus axle back is definitely available. My sale post is here:

The way I sell things online is the first person at my door step with cash gets the item. I been burned way too many time holding things for people. I am sure OP might be the same!

AA midpipe with this exhaust might be the perfect setup! Any video clips and pictures of this exhaust installed on a M2c?

Yes that's why it says sale pending in the classifieds. There are also a few other people waiting in line if it falls thru. I'm more than likely selling it and in that case you are the first in line. However, I'm still debating if I should keep the midpipe or not. There is a slight chance I might keep it but at this point I'm planning to go back to full stock system. So our deal is still in place

I don't think anyone has done Remus Sport and AA midpipe on an M2C yet. I only have a pic of setup:

Cool, thanks for clarifying. I'm still ready to buy it when you get it off as we discussed.

cntzl - Did this setup get louder after time?

I only had it for a week so not long enough to answer your question. It was very loud (much louder than my M4 with MPE) from the beginning.

Old post i know, but it sounds great

one week of ownership so far. sounds great. no drone. only gets really loud when driving slow in neighborhoods. simple fix is to close the valves and it becomes more civilized.

thanks again!!

So you got Race+AA mid?

yes. it is a great combo. it can be loud on cold start but settles in after a few seconds. with the valves closed, they are pretty mild. with the valves open, they can be loud in city traffic or when driving aggressive. when cruising on the highway, there is no drone nor does it get overly loud (actually its just right - not too loud/not too soft).

Sounds perfect to me. I just got the AA midpipe with my stock exhaust it barely made any difference in sound at all maybe 10% or less, worthless. I guess I need to get a rear section.
