Jay,
I was listening to your exhaust video and my stuff and straight through videos back to back, and it appears that sound note from the interior of both cars are about 98% the same and almost undistinguishable. I've got some pretty sensitive ears that compensate for my poor eye sight.
In any case, with windows up, your sound level (drone for the very sensitive ears) is a noticeably louder than my stuffed wool but very much unlike the through-straight video.
The advantage to you by placing your muffs toward the center of the system is better low end torque compared to rear placement, possibly better sound control (drone control) by <3 db, and more flexibility for exhaust tip positioning and design at the rear. Additionally, the rear tip resonators probably works just as well as the OE center box resonator. While the 4 1/2 inch Remus canister extend past the ground clearance plate about 1/2 to 1 inch, it's probably not an issue unless you go across one of those steep angle approach to underground parking.
Great job.

In all honesty, there are no clearance issues with the way the Remus 4' sit. Since my new re-program last week, all of the torque I "seemingly lost" is back and probably I have even more. When you add to the fact the sound of the car is ridiculous, I really feel like I'm driving an even better beast.

Jay,
Lets meet up again. I'd love to hear it in person.

Hey Jay,
I LOVE the way your car looks now, especially the rear diffuser and tips. I saw the diffuser at Eurorev before it was installed on your car and it does look very good........and I'm sure it looks even better on the car
I'm still waiting for my Rieger diffuser to come in. Eurorev was supposed to install my front splitter almost 3 weeks ago, but they didn't do it because they had to fix a small blemish on the diffuser. They haven't called me so I assume it's not ready, but I'm not in too much of a rush as I would just wait and have it installed with the Rieger. Of coarse that may be a while since they have to CF overlay the Rieger too.
Can't wait to see/hear your car at the Boiling Crab meet.

I really want that diffuser, but i dont know who to get it from.

My understanding is that the CF is just a "print"....and it costs only $30 or so more than the regular one. I assumed that being a print it will not look good, so I am planning on having Eurorev do a CF overlay on the standard Rieger diffuser and then do a matte finish instead of the glossy finish. I think Vincent said that the importer is also getting the CF print version, so I may have him bring both in so that I can see how good or bad the print looks.
EDIT: The CF Look (CF print) costs $80 more, not $30 as I had said above.
