Is it me or.........?

I just put a nice looking Remus system on my ride and I notice something different about throttle feel,and also response but that's what I was expecting.I was not suprised by the response.

The feel is much easier than it was with the stock muffler,is this really possible?I mean,I didnt mess with the fuel system in any way,except for the air filter.And now the pedal is soft,not hard and with alot of travel like it was before.

As for the tone,it is really mellow in a nice way,but get on it,and the combination of the quick slush box and the deeper tone sounds like it wants to play...
Very happy with the system,,anybody have a similar experience?

Glad to hear that you got your new exhaust. You should feel better response. Your engine is breathing and exhausting better and that will increase power. Even if you didn't change anything in the fuel system, you power curve has changed.

The pedal is soft but the foot has become heavy

Never noticed the change in the pedal, may be your mechanic adjusted it or something?

I see u got yourself a new filter too - good stuff mang!

BTW U gotto show us how the exhausts sit below the stock bumper soemtime and tell us if there were any special modifications needed

I most certainly will Dave,and thanks for the heads up on the power curve E klasse.There was no mods to the engine,I was watching the whole thing,putting in my 2 cents about how far they should stick out.

Absolutely no cutting except the oem pipes,no trimming the rear apron(phew!) and it looks so sweet.To think,all I wanted was a little chrome look at the tail end,and now its more than I had anticipated,love it

I'll post the pics of the Remus,and the xenon look fog bulbs right here,when the weather permits.

Merry Christmas men,
