Default Remark axleback

Hey guys,

was looking around for exhausts and saw this pop up, haven’t seen a thread on this before. Does anyone have any opinions or experience about this? Seems to be very cheaply priced.

Cheers,

Bought one a month and half back for my RWD is300 F Sport my takeaways
- the video does not do it justice it's SIGNIFICANTLY louder IRL
- the money is worth it for a simple axleback muffler delete
- the quad tips are very much how the car should look
- Cold Start will bother your neighbors

I just purchased one of these. Will let you know how it sounds. I currently have headers and a midpipe so I am expecting it to be pretty loud.

Just a question, why pay $345 for this system and then on top of that another $100+ to a mechanic to install this instead of just getting a muffler delete + tips for more than half the cost? Genuinely curious

It is only $295 for the single wall axle back. I could easily take it off and put the old one back on, rather than chop it all up.

Thanks for all the replies. Was curious as to how loud it'd be given its a muffler delete. It didnt sound too loud in the video, the tips do look good. Was just wondering why no one had brought this up.

Would be great to see the videos you've taken!

cause its a full axel back that saves the stock parts and doesn't require a mechanic to install.

One other advantage is that it's 2.5" piping, whereas the stock is under 2". Probably doesn't do much on its own, but then provides for upgrading the midpipe later.

But again I have to ask -- why not for $54 more get the entire Tsudo catback, and get performance gains along with it? For RWD it's also a bolt-up.

i assume it'd come down to preference.
the tsudo catback is a good deal but i dont see where it comes with quads for that price.

the performance gains from both applications would be negligible anyways.

Replace the tips if you want quads, and I may. A proper full cat-back is going to net 10-15rwhp easy.

Well for my situation, the price of the Remark includes shipping but a muffler delete would be way too loud for my liking. The Tsudo from the erz site would be over double the price at 870 because of shipping to Australia. I'd be more inclined to go with the Tsudo and looking at welding on quad tips.

All you literally have to do is remove your factory axel back to find out what it sounds like. I tried it, way to loud, raspy, tin sounding at certain rpms.
