Remus exhaust ??

Hi

I have a 420D GC which I am in love with but I cant deny that I am not pleased with its sound.
Ive been searching all over the internet for an exhaust upgrade to improve its sound and if I can get a little bit of extra power thats welcomed =p but all I can find is sound modules which I dont agree with...They are expensive and it is just an artificial sound even though they sound amazing!

Anyway I recently watched a video from motech performance featuring a Remus Quad back box upgrade which looks goood but I cant find anywhere a video to hear its sound

There must be someone in here with this exhaust installed if not do you have any suggestion on any other exhaust upgrades with a video and pics to justify =D

You'll never improve the exhaust sound of a tractor engine even a 3.0 litre or get more performance from an exhaust change.

You might make it louder but not "better". The 4cyls don't sound great. The 6cyls sound far better. The 5cyls from Volvo sound better still.

If you want a louder exhaust go for it but it'll still sound like a diesel, just a bit louder and maybe a bit deeper sounding.

Just go for a remap, get a bit of extra go-go-go and ignore the sound.

I've been in your exact position with the same car.

Those sound modules do sound great especially the Maserati unit but with the price starting at £1.2 isn't worth it on a 2L diesel especially... Like the above posters are suggesting, I'd remap and leave the exhaust alone. I personally like how grunty it sounds stock but remapping it will make it sound a bit more aggressive/throaty and a fair bit louder for a diesel. 4cyl engines don't sound the best but when remapped they sound a lot better I can assure you.
