I recently had my muffler changed from stock to the Remus. Installation was pretty problem free and fit quite well in to the mold prepared by the factory. The sound is amazing, I can really hear the growl of the engine.
I'm posting a picture of the installed product There is, from what I hear going to be a little different sound while in the break in period, but i await the results of the burn in.

The difference in performance is negligable, however, the only difference I notice is that in D mode downshifts are a bit less effortless making it a little more responsive. This could just be my impression but I've been testing this whole week since saturday when I had it installed.
Again, thanks to jet190rs who really helped out in my decision process with his great write up on his install which was IMO spot on.

Did you have to cut any piping for the installation, Did you weld it together?
Thanks.
Alan

The only thing that was cut was the exhaust pipe as you can see the difference from silver to black in the first and second pic.....aside from that it fit pretty well. some manuevering of course so it could sit as close to the bumper as possible. Overall a pretty snug fit
hope it helps

Oh and sorry I did not weld it the exhaust went over the existing pipe and then was clamped. The Remus exhaust has a couple of slits that are on the tip so it goes over the exhaust pipe....to describe it by example...just like a snake would wrap its mouth around something....same idea. After that I just clamped it. It's pretty secure.
