Walk out with a Remus Can :D
Well.. the receipt for one anyway.. bit the bullet.. I was advised that a Remus would be much better than a Micron.. as I dont have to fiddle with it afterwards.. just shove the thing on.... So I ordered one.. as they are now down in price... low £200's
So in a few days.. my neighbours shall be awoken by an almighty growl!
:twisted:

Most people reckon it'll sound better than the Micron... Don't know what they mean by fidling about, it'll need repacked from time to time just like a Micron surely?
No offence Mystery Jimbo, but Microns are frightfully common :) They're a standard accessory on every GSXR being ridden by someone in jeans, t-shirt and £40 lid :wink:

Remus exhausts come it two flavours(a part from the legal & Race types) traditional vented internal tube (needs to be re-packed) and baffle plates (no need to ever repack).

The Revolution's a pipe-and-packing style can though isn't it? I'm kind of assuming that's what's been bought here.

that kind off thing happens to me all the time, walked into a music shop between xmas and new year for a couple of sets of strings and some plectrums, ended up with a new Gibson SG, and still forgot the strings.......... :?

And then when you went back in to get the strings, you bought a new amp :)
Nice one not good news for your neighbours though. :lol:

forgotten the name of the can now! do'h! but its oval.. and it has baffles in it.. so I may remove them if my neighbours want to wage a war :twisted:
and its not a titanium can.. and no bloody carbon either!

If it's just a can you can shove any of them on without needing a dyno run.
I've got a Remus and it sounds great - not a choice you'll regret ;).

My lovely Trace Elliot Speed Twin 50's just blown up :( Transformer, I reckon. We shall see... Luckily I'll get the work done free but it's the parts, trying to find the right bit for an out of production amp, probably means buying a cheaper Trace and throwing the rest away :shock:

The Remus will have a very distinctive sound, and they look good two.
AFAIK, the only Remus with removable baffles is the Revolution, but what do I know anyway ??
Jonboy has a Remus Grand Prix, and lovely it is too...
:wink:

Mine is a gas-tight fit when I nipped the clamps up anyway, so I didn't need sealant :wink:

Aye, the CCC high-level I had needed it, but on the low-level it was so tight it didn't... Can't do any harm. I used the green stuff from Halfords but I've heard any silicon sealant will do the job...

Top Tip... Wait til the sealant dries before you fire the bike up after fitting (if indeed the sealant is required :wink:) :lol: :lol: :lol:
