I've reviewed the archives and done research regarding the remus exhaust. At my speed shop I can get just the muffler installed for $290, if I want the cat-back installed it'll be $390. I know the guys at the speed shop pretty well, but can these prices be for real. Also, in the archives I've read there is no cat-back. Is that true? I also live up north so would you guys recommend the remus, but for this price? What to do? Also I know the products aren't used, they're totally legit.<p>Jeremy<br>

I Live in pittsburgh and have a Remus muffler installed. I don't know how handy you are around the workbench, but i took ME < 30 min to install the remus muffler myself. If you can get it cheaper w/o install, i'd suggest that (unless you are having them weld it on). Mine is holding up fine in teh northern weather

First off there is no-cat back from Remus for the A4....I have an older<br>catalog, but it most likely will still be valid. The normal street price<br>for the Remus muffler (specially fitted for the Quattro...with a different<br>one for the non-Quattro) is from $440 - $475. I got a used one for<br>$300. I would be very careful that someone isn't selling you the<br>universal muffler from Remus (some Honda guys might use this one).<br>It will not be set-up for your car. Just my opinion, but if it sounds too<br>good, it probably is. I would proceed very cautiously.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM

I haven't decided if I'm going to clamp it on or weld it. If I decide to weld it they would be doing the installing. They gave me the product number and they gave me an official brochure from remus (I kind of took it, I think it was their only copy). It lists all the makes and cars that remus mufflers fit and gives the product number plus description and pictures. Everything matches up. I visted the website address listed on the brochure, however, I guess it's in german or something. It's a small shop and the guys are pretty cool. I just don't understand does remus make just the muffler and that only for the a4? <br>

Jeremy, where are you getting this price? Every place I've seen is almost $200 more uninstalled. If it works out for you, let us know where to get such a good deal!<p>Jim

I've checked around pretty much, most of CA regarding prices for the Remus exhaust for the A4's --with major haggle factor, even at the shops i frequent, the lowest i've seen was four bills ($400) installed. I'd take Steve's comments with good weight - I seriously doubt that you can get a Remus for an A4 for $300. In addition, i'm 95% sure there is no cat-back, as i've seen the dealer catalogs myself. <p>Why don't you ask them to show you the catalog? It sounds more like they're selling you a universal Remus. ..<p>One way you can test, if i still remember right, ask them for the DTM-tipped model. . . reason being, last time i checked, Remus does not make DTM tips for the A4 2.8Q models (for non-Q they do). I believe the only tip style available is the dual square 92x78mm style. If they say yes, then i'd be somewhat wary .. . <p>Edmund Louie<br>98 A4Q 30V
