Nice...I've never seen one brand new with no soot on it already...
got mine used.
So, can I join your club? he he...
The header (supersprint in my case) Remus club...
You may be surprised to know, my Remus recently came unwelded right at the point where the pipe goes into the muffler.
It had to drive it for about 40 miles at about 120 DB till I got to a place where they had
phone reception....and margies. ie Nepenthe.
We're talking hwy 1 Big Sur territory.
I had the car towed the rest of the way home (Thanks AAA)
and the re-weld cost a big 50 bucks.
Yeh, I love the Remus over stock...sound is way better.

Enough with the bickering! Time to MODIFY!!!
Finally a drone-free system.
I'm extremely impressed with the quality from Remus. I was afraid the car would sound raspy after installing the Remus with the Kleemann header but I was wrong. There is absolutely no rasp and I would say it roars only slightly more than the stock muffler.

Finally found plug and play license plate lights!!
I was never a fan of the resistor mod for some reason so I stayed with Hoen bulbs. Just recently Hoen came out with plug and play led bulbs that do not throw codes and do not flicker.
I can vouch for them that the new hoen led bulbs are far brighter and whiter than the original halogen bulbs while not throwing any codes or flickering.
This is a MUST DO mod!!
Pictures are in broad daylight. Will update with more night shots later.

Just an update.
I have had the Hoen dLED plate lights for only 1 month and they **** the bed last night.
I'm trying to contact Hoen now to see if they'll cover for the bulbs.
Yes, they're flickering and warning messages are coming up left right and center.

but do they still light up? even with flicker?
and Hoen should send you a new set. I had their c5w bulbs before and one burnt out in about a month, so I contacted them and they sent out a new bulb along with some prototype LED bulbs which recently one of the LED bulbs burnt out. looking for replacement right now.
if they send you new sets I'd be interested in the ones that are flickering on your car right now. I have resisters so as long as they light up I can use them.

Funny, I have their bulbs and one of them went out 8 months ago and I contacted them right away and no replacement bulbs until today

I've gone through two sets of thier incandescent bulbs and they only lasted roughly over 8 months for me.
The LED still works but it flickers and I do not want to do the resistor mod. Will see if Hoen will get back to me or not.
I might give ebay a try, considering I paid over $60 CAD for the Hoens...
