Remus R56 Cooper S Exhaust

Has anyone yet fitted a Remus exhaust to their Cooper S? I'm intrested to see what it sounds like, seems AC Schnitzer trust them;

Excepts from EVO website: AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper S | evo Car Reviews | Car Reviews | evo

"AC Schnitzer is based in Aachen, Germany (AC is the numberplate moniker for the area) and although better known for tuning BMWs it has also been turning its attention to Minis in recent times. Schnitzer is responsible for the design and set-up of its creations, but sources the parts from well-established suppliers. So the springs are Eibach, the dampers Bilstein, the exhaust Remus (like the Corsa’s) and the body parts are produced by the same supplier BMW uses, so they don’t look like they’ve been grafted on by a colour-blind art student."

"We’re soon off the autobahn in search of more twisting roads. Following the standard Mini, I’m reminded how wrong the exhaust looks hanging down below the rear of the car. The Schnitzer’s rear valance cures this, while the new pipework adds welcome bass and burble to the soundtrack. It’s not as raucous as the Fiesta’s or Corsa’s, but that’s partly down to Germany’s strict TUV tests – they’re working on less restricted systems for other markets."

Be nice to hear it! Remus have it listed on their web page. REMUS
