Remus cans anyone ?

[jdwoodbury]

Has anyone got any opinions on Remus exhausts, I am looking to change mine on the ZZR1400, I have had Akra and Blueflame before, but no experience of these cans, would appreciate any input....quality, sound etc.

I've had a Remus carbon oval race can on my GSXR for about 6 years, no problems with fit or finish at all. Only issue has been with the 'not for road use' wording

So long as it's loud enough to wind up Farmer Troll, I'm all for it.

I've got a titanium trapedioizal (sp?) Remus Revolution.

I love the sound; it's deep, and not too loud even with the baffle out. The build quality is excellent (i'm an engineer and IMO it really is well made). Its very solid and the finish stood up to a winter of commuting and still looks as new.

£310 is, perhaps, a bit steep but mine was a xmas/birthday present from the mrs and i'm VERY happy with it.

Might go and get the sound level tested soon to see if it passes Castle Combe's noise regs with the baffle in.

IIRC they are designed so that no re-map is required.

They attach well, mine has a solid mounting bracket instead of a band around the can.

Did some research on Remus recently. Ended up buying a set for my car!

Nice kit - well made, sounds good, not too expensive.

7/10

I had one on my Speed Triple many years ago, glorious sound probably the best I've had on any bike I have owned.

Got one on my BMW GS with the Remus downpipes as well. Very well made (as stated previously) and a very nuce, throaty noise without being offensive.

[Mattmeister]

as above, had them on a BMW and very pleased with the quality.

I have a carbon trapezoid evolution can for my zx9r.
Same as the guys before me...... its nicely loud but not chavtastic.
Quality is ace and the removable baffle is great for MOT moments.

Only problem i had was when the bracket broke, though i cant knock Remus as such because I made a 2mm mild steel bracket and that snapped too. Must be my bike or something?

I'd rather have an Akro, but remus are fine by me!

[jdwoodbury]

Sounds promising, I am looking for a deeper sound but not that bothered about it being mega loud....trouble is they are £650 for the ZZR...Heine Gerike are doing 0% interest though

1 more question, I understand the removeable baffle is held in via a rivet which you need to drill out, do they provide a bolt to fix in its place after you have drilled it out?

If it's held in with a rivet which you drill out then you'll need another rivet in its place because if it was threaded and they supplied a bolt to replace the rivet then the baffle would have been held in originally with a bolt and not a rivet

BTW, if you do drill out the rivet and decide that it's too loud don't simply replace the rivet with an aluminium rivet which you've found in the shed because the ally rivet will melt firing the baffle out of the can somewhere on the M6

I once put a full remus road legal system on my old gpz1100. It was bloody lovely, top quality, lovely sound without being too loud and well priced too. It just made the rest of the bike look a bit shit in comparison.

Bolt and nut No need for a rivet.

The replacement baffle came with a bolt and a nut - designed specifically for half wits like me.

[Conian]

Mine came just with a bolt, screws straight into the baffle, no need for loose nuts dangling about the place

Scant comfort for the poor bastard who got my old one embedded in the front of their car though. Unfortunately I have no idea when it got ejected... could have been anywhere between Newbury and Lancaster. Didn't notice the increase in noise, I just pulled up at my mates thinking "that sounds a bit fruity". I just hope it didn't hit any thing. Hopefully it came out after the last time I stopped for petrol up north where the motorway was slightly less busy.

V Good used some High level ones one my TL1000s, very good fit and finish...very loud too.
