W124 Remus Exhaust

[Blackman]

Hello everyone, new to the forum. Really excited

I'm looking to replace the rusty exhaust on my E220 W124 with something decent in terms of sound and quality/value.

So far I'm leaning towards Remus, the cheapest I found on eBay is £517...

Mercedes E Class W124 (94-97) Remus Performance Exhaust on eBay (end time 03-Aug-10 17:06:41 BST)

I was just wondering, if that's any good and other options that are available?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome.

Remus exhausts are excellent if a bit pricey

You could get a complete stainless steel system made and fitted for less.

 

[Blackman]

It is indeed a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for

Will most likely get Remus. The only thing is, they say rear bumper has to be cut "slightly", which is a bit annoying...

Nope, my Remus fits under without any cutting.

Thanks for the help guys.

There are 2 sizes of Remus exhausts for W124's:

1. With 2 tail pipes 74x65mm angled
2. With 2 tail pipes 90x75mm straight

The one which requires cutting is the bigger one. I got the info from Remus's official website and the eBay seller says the same...

Remus UK - Performance Exhaust Systems

And by the way, is the exhaust fitment the same for both coupes and 4 doors?

 

[Blackman]

Those who have Remus exhausts (dw124 and Ian Walker), what size is it?

I'm assuming it's the 74x65mm, since you are saying there was no cutting involved?

 

[d w124]

I have 90x75 and Ian has the angled one.My car has a bodykit though so it sits under the bumper,hence no cutting involved

Thanks, that's what I was after

Will probably get the 90x75, and mod the bumper a bit...Cost-wise they're pretty much the same, so I'd rather get a bigger one and proper straight.

Don't like the angled look

Look:You bumper has a cut for the original exhaust,and is not going to look good unless you get that cut fixed.Also remove the centre box and you`ll have a better sound.

I'll try to make it look "factory" cut, lol

If I remove the centre box, do I put a straight pipe there or something?

no not straight, it needs to be like a curly wurly to balance the wuffle pressure

seriously if you are going to spend a wedge on a remus back box i would leave off the middle box and fit a freer flowing cat

 

[Blackman]

Well, the plan so far is to get rid of my rusty backbox and fit Remus. I just wanted to know whether it's a straight fit or not.

 

[Blackman]

By the way, anyone got pics with Remus fitted?

Would be great to see, without the matter whether it's angled one or straight.

I don`t have any pic but where about in London are you?Also I might have a backbox for your car,not remus but still a nice one

 

[Blackman]

I'm in west London, mate.

What backbox do you have? I've found one made by Sebring for quite cheap, but not sure about it...

 

[d w124]

Sebring is very good and if it`s cheap,than go for it.PS that`s the same one i have for sale

 

[Blackman]

I would PM you about the details, but can't since I haven't made 30 posts, lol

What condition is yours and how much you would be looking for?
