For all of the guys who think Remus is great except for the price, why not opt for the dual tip vs quad? They are less expensive and supposed to sound very similar...and looks like a GTI exhaust. [emoji1]

You have to wait for them to get back with you for shipping to USA... waiting on that currently...
Cut stock muffler off where indicated by the 2 indentions at the right spot and clamp on the new muffler.. done...

Less expensive as in $1300 instead of $1500? That's still alot of dough for a catback. Add in the fact that you have to buy that $200 diffuser to make it work and it will never really be a good value system.
Still a nice product but expensive no matter the config.

No doubt, it's still not cheap, but cheaper. You save on tips, and you don't have to buy the diffuser so it's more in the $1100 range for the catback.
I had been considering the Remus dual tip axle back before the CSS muffler came along. Was going to see how that sounded, and then add on their midpipe later if desired.

Dude, a cat back doesn't really do much performance wise. That being said, an inexpensive but quality cat back vs an expensive cat back ... well you're getting my point. I run a magnaflow sounds great with a stock DP and it's a true 3in catback and won't break the bank. Very satisfied with it. Now when I put my DP on its a little on the loud side. Not terrible just a hair.
If I had it to do over I'd probably leave the stocker on and do a muffler delete or put a different muffler in the stock cat back. I'm not cheap I just don't like paying 1200 bucks for something I can get the same result for literally half... ultimately it's your car and your decision that's just my 0.02

I got a 2 tip version with chrome tips for a very, very good price from Mike at Extreme Power House.
Remus is the best sounding exhaust for the MK7s IMO, with the Neuspeed being a close second followed by AWE.

True, forgot that the advantage of the dual tip was no diffuser lol
I agree with that order.
Seems that they're non-resonated cat back version, which is basically just straight pipes from the downpipe back (right?), is like $950 with the midpipe and carbon tips. The one with the muffler is $1150.
Still hard to justify vs the $688 AWE exhaust which comes with a muffler and no resonator.

Ok so what do you guys think on the chrome exhaust tips vs the diamond black ones? I plan on having silver wheels even if I upgrade so don't know if black tips make much sense.
What would you guys go with on tornado red? Any advantages to the diamond black ones aside from looks?

Personal preference. Chrome will be more noticeable (shiny when clean, and grody when dirty) while diamond black will be more stealthy (will hide dirt better).

Chrome is classic, and my choice.
Goes with every color, and looks so nice when it's polished up.

I like the diamond black AWE tips on my night blue GTI. They sort of get lost in the darkness, which I like. If I had the 4" chrome, I think people behind me would be saying, "hey, look at that GTI with the big 4" tips." Of course, I have a "hey look at me" personalized license plate, so my point may be moot.
