[/quote]I got a call from Dinan a month ago about a throttle body, which I passed on, but I asked when the exhaust would be available, and they said it was past the prototype stage and they're waiting to start production--so soon, I would expect. They'll call me when available and I'll let everybody know.

[/quote]Glad to see my kind of person here in the forum.
So, from one dumbass to another...
Was the Remus a bolt-on application? In other words, is the pipe leading into the muffler fitted with a flange?

I would especially like to know if the Dinan is a bolt-on muffler and what it sounds like.

[/quote]In my case, the dealer had already cut the pipe when he replaced my original muffler. I had a new OEM that was jus bolted on. Installation was simple other than replacing the resonators that I had removed -- bad move.
