Joe, this sounds class! The main thing for me is you don’t get the god awful loud pops and bangs on the overrun, just a nice subtle rumble when you lift off. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
This (more practical) modification video is fantastic - thanks Joe. I'm getting the M Performance exhaust for my new M5 Comp in a couple of weeks... the difference it makes to driving enjoyment should be amazing! I had the same for my old M4. Would be interested to get your views on the merits of Remus vs BMW M Performance
An excellent choice Joe! I have the same car and are thinking of making a similar mod down the track. It’s a pity you had to substantially dip into your pocket to rectify what should’ve been standard fitment on a vehicle of this calibre!!
sounds so much better and looks amazing also its how it should of came standard as you say. Personally still little bit too quiet for my liking but i understand why you kept it civil. :)
I've had a decatted Fi exhaust fitted and it sounds like nothing else. Remus is the more sensible way, Fi is savagery to the max. And the best part is, with the valves closed, it is quieter than stock!
Another great mod video to the channel... 😉💪 those exausth carbon tips look awesome!!! Some carbon exterior parts now and would be perfect... congratulations.
Hi Joe, Oh so sweet! Been thinking about buying a M2 Manual for a bit of daily, but mainly track work. But as you know, the exhaust and saggy balls has been putting me off. I think I have watched all your vid's on the M2 now, and this was the best! I really enjoyed that, and that maybe enough to tip me over into buying one, WITH Remus installed. Well done, and a massive thank you.
Well done Joe, super little vid. Just had the exhaust done on my new M140i Shadow Edition which I collected over Xmas, I can appreciate how much of a difference a decent exhaust makes. Keep the good content coming bud. 🤘
While it sounds much improved. It's still a bandaid fix to a bigger problem - the engine just doesn't sound spine tingling in the way the old NA engines did (crackle 'n' pops aside). Mercedes did a good job with their turbo engine (ok, it has 2 extra cylinders). The sound/ noise is such a big part of the experience in these type of cars, that once you're use to the added performance the turbos bring, it feels like somethings missing. Maybe the new engine they have lined up for the next M2/3/4 will address this... here's hoping.
Mercedes doesn't sound any better with their 4 or 6 cylinder engines, dunno what your on about. Yes the NA engines sounded better, so did the Mercedes ones, you could say that about pretty much all manufacturers.
You need to listen to their V8 turbo (which is the engine referenced would be with an extra 2 cylinders), as that does sound good. It's in their C63 & E63 cars.
@@JoeAchilles1 You should upgrade your turbos etc. like Ricky did. Pure Turbos or someone in UK. Less is more when it comes to noise 👍You have a great car. Do you sell the black ctrlandshift zip up hoodie @ www.ctrlandshift.com that you and your mate have on in picture on the front page?
Finally, the ‘Comp finds its voice 👍🏾 my car is the same way as yours was at the start of the video. I have a 230i and I quite like the sound of the B48, it’s no straight six but it’s reminiscent of the cool 4 cyl BMW motors that came before it and much nicer than the N20 but I struggle to hear it, particularly past 70mph as I have run flats (which I plan to change). I think a dual resonator delete will solve the problem. If you’d ever like to do a comparison video between your car and a fast, manual 2 series that doesn’t have 6 cylinders then I let me know.
I’m in the US without OPF and my M2 comp sounds louder and better stock than the UK spec, to the point that I don’t feel the urge to replace the exhaust. Given the size of these OPF boxes it makes sense there would be such a difference.
@@MotechPerformance Yeah thats true and he definitely knows how to drive a manual like a boss, but just watch - chances are when he changes his car he will go for another auto hahahahaha
Great video guys 👍🏻 it's a shame BMW have gone down the route to muffle the sound, but great that Motech have come up with an alternative .. well done guys
Like the sound signature! Only Remus exhaust attached? OPF intact? Have you changed/ adjusted software? And most importantly: how is noise level? Big difference between normal exhaust and Remus? I want to fit this exhaust to my M2C too and do not like if sound is too loud. Quality > loudness! Thank you👍🏻
Dear Joe I have recently got an M2 competition and also thinking to change the exhaust as you know the reason, just wannt ask a quick question that why have you chosen Remus over Akrapovic ? well I am having difficulty in choosing in between them
Brilliant! I’ve been waiting to hear what it sounds like before deciding whether to push the button on this for mine. My only worry is that they have to cut the original exhaust so putting it back to standard isn’t possible.
Hey Joe, the signal stalk is on the left yah?... How come the Japanese has it on the right?. I thought they would reflect each other as you guys are driving at the right side...
Did the OEM exhaust have to be cut or was it a case of un-doing a clamp? Want to know as if you want to sell as OEM would the exhaust have to be welded back? Thanks,
Great little car the M2 Comp but it Still doesn’t quite have the sound of the N55 with an m performance exhaust, how did they make the N55 and B58 sound so good compared to a M engine, baffles me.
Hi Joe On the back of you I’ve pushed the boat out and bought a new M2C in sunset orange. I’ve already ordered lowering spring and spacers for a specialist in Aberdeen and really fancy the lower note of the Remus race exhaust. What’s the cost of that system if you don’t mind me asking? Great content btw!! Paul
Hey Paul, that's awesome to hear mate, massive congratulations! The exhaust price differs depending on the tips you go for, drop Motech performance a line and they will quote you system only. Cheers for watching my content 🙏
Thanks for the speedy reply Joe! I’ll email Mike tonight. So far you’ve guided me to Michelin tyres, Eibach lowering springs and spacers, Jack at Royal Steering for my M240i and now an M2 Comp!!You are an influence!!! No doubt when I pay this off I’ll be following you into an M3! You must be counting the days to the new G80. Can’t wait to see the smile on your face on ‘new car day’!Great work btw 👍!!
Hi Joe, big fan of your channel. A question for my M2C I am hesitating between the Akropovic & Remus. Haven't seen any of this in life difficult to decide. any suggestions from your side ? Thanks !
Thanks so much for the great videos Joe! How much of the pops put out by the Remus in Sport Plus mode are the result of the upgraded intake? Probably hard to tell at this point . . .
I don't know why people are going crazy over the sound of this car. This engine will always sound crap regardless of the exhaust, it sounded crap when the M3/M4 was first released and hasn't improved. The M235i sounded far better and had a proper deep sporty tone compared to the tin can rattle of the M2 comp & M3/M4.
@@JoeAchilles1 Nothing against you Joe, completely understand why you fitted this exhaust & I'm a big fan of the channel. I'm just disappointed that with each new generation of BMW's 6 pot they've lost their main historical feature, a decent sound.
I put this exact exaust on mine and I get none of the snap crackle. I only get the burble :( is there somthing you did to yours that is not in this video
I have lived with a loud exhaust with my old RS Turbo MK1 and the motorway drone was too much, Janspeed sorted that out. You have a good balance with and without the valves open. Exhausts that are too loud don’t match the speed the car is doing, just show and they’ll make you deaf
You maybe planned this for the future, but it's really time for you to visit BR Performance and finally get a full potential of that beautiful S55. That map is probably the best performance/price ratio upgrade you can have on your car. 90BHP for like under 1000 euros.
@@JoeAchilles1 I understand your concerns about engine warranty. Those guys however give 5 years warranty and are really top in Europe (IMHO better choice than any piggyback like from AC Schnitzer or RaceChip). Just check them out ;).
Sounds great! Are there any exhausts out there that replace the center resonator too? I assume it would be emissions friendly all the way up to the new regulator gear. I'm in the US, does anyone know if this new emissions regulation gear exists on the US spec M2C?
Hi Joe, around about 8:20 mins in when you and Nick are under the car you talk about the "opf or ppf" box saying how bad and heavy it is etc. so I thought by the end of the video you were going to replace the whole lot, is that not the case? Cheers. Pat. PS Spotted you in Gerrards Cross a few weeks back, small world !
I want a change of exhaust for my M2C. The BMW M Performance is quite pricey, based on my dealers quotation, but should keep the warranty good. I like Remus exhaust I've tried on motorcycles; they're a solid company. But out of interest, why did you go for Remus over M-Performance?
Its incredible how much a proper exhaust can change a car, specially a sportscar like yours
Agreed mate, transformed my Tesla 😂👌
Joe, this sounds class! The main thing for me is you don’t get the god awful loud pops and bangs on the overrun, just a nice subtle rumble when you lift off. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Huge difference Joe! Money well spent I reckon plus getting rid of the old ugly back box was satisfying I guess?!

No M Performance exhaust for the new OPF/PPF models.
Car sounds the way it should have from factory! Cut the bloody OPF's out and really let it sing!!
WeiguChicken Burger is there no opf inside because it s the race version?
@@Basti2727 there is a Opf Right after mid muffler there are 2 of them
'i pity the fuel' killed me, had to order one
Haha legend thank you ✌️
I’ve just had cat back non res Remus fitted to my m4... sounds unreal and a lot louder than I was expecting videos don’t do exhausts justice!!
An excellent choice Joe! I have the same car and are thinking of making a similar mod down the track. It’s a pity you had to substantially dip into your pocket to rectify what should’ve been standard fitment on a vehicle of this calibre!!

I made it same. Remus race instaled one week ago. It is enough loud for every day use.

Hi Joe, love the video. This is a dream car - even more so now! Sound is such a big part of the enjoyment IMO.

Hey Joe, the signal stalk is on the left yah?... How come the Japanese has it on the right?. I thought they would reflect each other as you guys are driving at the right side...
Not that there is room but is it legal to have a valve to bypass the opf filter? 'For track use only' of course. Great upgrade.
The issue with that is the ECU would put engine in limp mode immediately 😕
Did the OEM exhaust have to be cut or was it a case of un-doing a clamp? Want to know as if you want to sell as OEM would the exhaust have to be welded back? Thanks,

Also does changing the exhaust affect the factory warranty?
Best bit was the night drive from 17:51. Sounds great 👍🏻
Sounds really good , much better than stock !
How does it effect you with regards to bmw financing after seeing Ricky’s problems ?
Does changing the stock exhaust into aftermarket mess up the engine management? Also does it invalidate the Manufactures Warranty ?
It does not as long is it cat back. Akropovic for example is installed by BMW here in Poland without any loss of factory warranty
