Push Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I've been looking at the remus cat back but unsure on which path to take in regards to resonated or not. I have the standard exhaust just now with the valves coded open and dont get me wrong it sounds nice when your pressing on and stealthy enough when your just driving to the shops but theres always that part of me that thinks it could be a bit louder. I would be going for a valved system either way but from any remus owners is there a huge difference between resonated and unresonated?

Push Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Resonator delete also I should add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I am getting a resonated Remus installed next week. I had the same question but decided to play it safe and go with resonated option. Hopefully not too quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequence Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Have heard a resonated valved Remus in person, they are plenty loud enough and a very nice tone if you want the more loud aggressive raspy sound then non res is the way to go.

G9GLX Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I’ve just had the non res version fitted and whilst it’s loud with DSG in S it’s pretty subdued with the DSG in D in all modes You’ll love the system regardless though and is definitely a worthwhile purchase 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty new to vw's so coming into mods for them a bit blind. My other car has 3" turbo back exhaust thats non resonated so im just trying to find a nice spot in between that and standard R 🤣 Its a fair chunk of cash for the system to not be happy with it!

Reason I ask is when the warrantys up I was hoping to go stage 2. I wasnt sure how raspy it would get once thats fitted aswell as a cat back.

It’s ridiculously loud even with the standard not entirely sure what it would sound like with a decat tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA888gen3 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I've heard a GTI with a full non resonated Remus cat back with decatted downpipe: sounds really ricy. On my own R, I have the stock downpipe and exhaust but I removed the insulation from the rear pot, coded the valves open and happy with the sound.

Msportman Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 BCS system sounds great too...they offer two systems now one being their traditional Power-valve the latest is called WRC. It surprising how loud my APR DP is mated to a stock system running stage 2 especially when it’s hot in S I like the quietness for family duties and no motorway drone hence why up till now I’ve not swapped mine out.

Asa55 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I have the vagsport anti drone res delete pipe from progressive parts. I thought I’d be taking it back off a week later but I love it. They had a couple of trial units in so I was lucky enough to get hold of one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk goodbadboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my BCS WRC cat back arriving in a few weeks. It will be matched up with a scorpion 3" downpipe with sport cat. The no drone with bcs exhaust ticked the box for me. Had a scorpion and cobra previously and had to remove them due to bad drone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
