Exhaust Question (Final One) - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

No resonance at 3K. The note is mellow and throaty. It's definetly not an over aggressive sound. At WOT the intake is louder (inside the car) than the exhaust. The wife doesn't mind riding in the car with this exhaust. She hate the B&B that I had on my 968. It was too loud with alot of resonance.
I didn't notice a loss in torque, but I felt a gain in the 4k plus range.

If you are in the Nothern Virgina area you are more than welcome to come and have a listen.

I listened to the Remus sound clip and souded pretty good but I'm not sure if it would be a big enough increase in sound level for me. If I drop several bills on a cat-back system I want to know I just did if you know what I mean. I think the GHL is the way to go if you don't mind some in cabin resonance. That exhaust scares little children and turns anyone's head that is within a 2 block radius at WOT.

I bought the Remus exhaust but have not installed it yet due to a back injury. Before buying, I spoke to B&M Racing (the U.S. distributor for Remus of Austria), they told me the Remus exhaust is a only a few decibels louder than stock. The difference is in the deeper sound "note". If you are looking for a big increase in sound volume, then the Remus is not for you. Once I install the Remus, I will gladly post my first hand experience.

Keep us posted Sinbad. Where in the Mid-west are you? I'm over in IL.

I also have a Remus Romulus on my 01 Boxster. I like it alot. It's a little louder than stock, but noticibly deeper. I especially like what it did to first gear; with the stock exhaust, accelerating in first gear turned into a really high pitch sound that seemed to be saying " shift into second NOW. PLEASE" With the Remus, the car dosen't seem to have that urgent need to get out of first gear RIGHT NOW. Just seems to lengthen it a little. I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not-but that's what it seems like to me. Overall, the Remus note is nice and low, but not too loud (although it sounds awesome in a narrow canyon!!!) I'm very pleased with it.
