Types of Remus Exhaust Systems
Remus offers four main types of exhaust systems, each tailored to different levels of performance, sound, and installation complexity:
Axle-Back Systems
- What it is: Replaces the rear silencer (muffler) section only.
- Fitment: Typically slip-on; minimal modification required.
- Benefits: Lighter weight, improved sound, modest performance gains.
- Ideal for: Drivers seeking a budget-friendly upgrade with a sportier tone.
Cat-Back Systems
- What it is: Replaces everything from the catalytic converter back.

GPF-Back Systems

"Racing" Exhaust Systems

Resonated vs Non-Resonated?
When choosing your Remus system, you’ll often see the terms resonated and non-resonated. Here’s what they mean:
- Resonated: Includes a mid-pipe silencer to reduce drone and soften the exhaust note. Ideal for daily drivers who want a refined sound without sacrificing performance.
- Non-Resonated: Straight-through pipework with no mid silencer. Louder, more aggressive tone, but may introduce cabin drone at certain RPMs.
- Performance Impact: Virtually identical — the difference is all in the sound profile
What Does EC/ECE Approval Mean?
Many Remus systems come with EC or ECE approval, which is essential if you plan to use your car on public roads in Europe. For our UK customers, EC/ECE approval doesn't mean too much, however it is a testament to the quality of Remus exhausts.
- EC/ECE Approved: Certified to meet European noise and emissions standards. Legal for road use and MOT-friendly.
- Non-Approved: Designed for off-road/motorsport use in countries where ECE/EC approval is required.
Always check the approval status before purchasing, especially if your car is a daily driver.
