Remus axle back + resonator delete 435i

ZoranTerzic · 09-26-2018, 02:59 AM

Hi guys,
Just purchased my Remus axle back (Thanks Mike) and now I'm trying to find how these sound with a res delete before I take delivery of my new exhaust.
How does the Remus sound with the res delete? Will there be any drone? Anyone have any experience with res deletes with other exhausts?
Thanks all.

I've been doing a lot of research on this system, because I want it. I read, in multiple threads, that deleting the res resulted in drone. From what I gathered, the system sounds great as is. If anyone has any actual experience with this, I, like OP, would love to hear!!

Beautiful car!!!

The resonator's only purpose is to remove frequencies in the exhaust note that resonate in the cabin, aka drone. Removing it always introduces more drone.

Some people don't mind drone, or have a higher tolerance for it, so they either ignore, or or don't notice it. It's subjective what's tolerable or not.

Don't remove it. Save your monies as it doesn't add any measurable performance at all.

This remus sounds best with a catless or HFC downpipe. Money better spent there, or elsewhere.

I just installed Remus catback last weekend, already have ER catless DP. I think you'd be nuts to cut out the resonator, its already pretty loud. I have to ecopro in my work parkade to maintain some modicum of civility.

Yes it will drone. Keep the resonator.

Thank you all for your replies. Resonator will stay where it belongs haha.

On another note, are you able to disconnect the exhaust valve to make it louder if need be? I believe this system uses the stock exhaust valve when switching between comfort/sport.

Anyone have any experience with this?

You don't need to disconnect it. Cycling through the driving modes opens or closes it. You might want the option to close it around cops depending where you live.

I have the Remus axle back (from Mike) on my car and really like the sound. I just wish it was a tad louder, especially inside the cabin. I don't have a down pipe or anything though and am not interested right now in getting one.

Is there a big difference between comfort and sport?

Yes there is. The up shifts are louder in sport. No burbles in comfort on overruns, while there are a lot more and louder in sport compared to the stock exhaust. I've seen people look back at the car when I'm downshifting coming to a stop. Again though, I just wish it was a tiny bit louder in the cabin especially. I was hoping a res delete would do it but now I'm worried about droning based on people's response here.

It will drone.

Although you don't want to for now, downpipe will be your best bet to make it louder.

This is with the valve open , res delete, ERdp, 13’ pwg, I use jb4 to control canflap, audio change is noticeable, also when changing between sport and comfort.

Congrats OP

Sounds exotic as hell, almost like an Aston v12!
I'm so excited I can't wait
