A Remus muffler is QUIET. It won't give you much sound.

Default There is a slight break-in period... to get an even better sound at a new mid section
I added a SuperSprint midsection and it sounds much better now.

Default your resonator is what keeps all the sound held back......remove it (more)
and put either a mid piece, or a straight pipe from the y collector to the muffler.

Default even with my remus installed on my borla catback its still quiet
so much quieter than the regular borla muffler. On my 1.8t w/ just the remus installed I could only hear it when I was passing under an overpass. Very quiet... but good looking muffler
