Which model Remus do you have?
I've heard the Remus Freeride and they are LOUD
I have a Remus Revolution, mit Cat and it's 2kg lighter, no hotter and as quiet as stock..................carbon end too

Quite easy to take the Cat out of the stock exhaust as long as you know someone who can weld stainless. The actual joint is behind the heat shield any way so the re-weld isn't easy to see. Makes the exhaust a little lighter, runs maybe a little cooler 
Anyone know what the Akro header pipe and none Cat exhaust sound like on these 'ere XC's

The big question for me is what power gains and what fuel economy gains we see. Too early to say about fuel economy but power seems better.
Not sure on the model as it came with the bike. It's an alloy main body with a carbon end "cone" I'll have a look in the morning an let you know

Italian?
Had the GPr a year and the stainless qualitys good, great tone with end baffle no lower baffle fitted without being nasty loud.

Just ordered one of these in plain stainless for £169.15 delivered

Not in stock now, so I don't know if they can actually deliver at that price, but it will be interesting to see what it is like, because that is a very keen price indeed.

I think you may find it loud, even with baffle in!
Shame because they fit well and look good......
I'm going to try to make another baffle for mine.

How do you get at the innards to add another baffle?
Drill the rivets out at the noisey end and pull the end cap off....
That's tomorrows job for me....
You used to be able to get "Dirt dog" or "Dirt dawg" silencer inserts, that slipped in the end of your existing can, and then tightened up with a few grubs screws.
cnc'd alluminium- so quite trick_ and cost about £30. Fitted one to my husky tc610, and it really to the edge of it's bark (didn't stop the flames on overrun though
)
Right, job done.....
The glass fibre wadding had blown away to almost nothing.
Repacked and riveted up, fairly easy task for my limited skills......
The baffle has gone back in too.
I'll try it on tonight...... to keep me out of the pub.
Timpo.

Good job
You should offer this as a service looks like a good job done,have you got a photo when finished?
If I could have found someone to weld stainless (is that TIG welding) would have done the conversion instead of replacing it, the originals pretty well made so it makes sense,
just a thought being cheeky, can you do mine !! ?

Not got a close up photo, but if I'm messing about tomorrow I'll put one on for ya, but in reality you don't need one. The joint is well hidden behind the cover anyway
I just wrapped the exhaust up well so as not to scratch it and with a hacksaw went round the silencer right at the side of the original weld. The silencer body then came away from the front bit leaving the cat still fastened to the front bit. During assembly the cat just protrudes through a hole in the baffle and is only welded at it's base at the lower end!
Then cut the cat off, difficult to saw through the ceramic bits, which leaves about a quarter inch left in ... knock this out and clean up. Re-assemble with the help of a good stainless steel welder and hey presto ... sorted
Weigh the cat in ... keeps the tea fund going for a few weeks
No noticeable gain in performance, no noticeable difference in sound ... but what the 'eck

Is the baffle the bit held in with the screw at the end? I've just fitted my Scorpion exhaust, a hell of a lot lighter than the original, but definitely louder. Whether it's too loud I will find out this weekend. Looks nice too.
Yes, that's the 'baffle' as they call it, it is more like the dB killer. It does take a bit of the bark away.....
Plenty of bark left with it in, although nothing to compare with the amazing din of no exhaust (had to be done, but when I turned the engine off, I could hear echoes of the racket returning from the surrounding buildings). I reckon I might put some packing in between the baffle and the innards of the can if I can't cope with the racket.

ARMA,
When you said 'It also has a removable link section with an optional decibel killer.' Do you mean that It's got a third DB killer that can be fitted inside the pipe?
I just bought the stainless steel GPR Pipe with two DB killers that come with. One at the end and a cone. I mount it with them in it but the exhaust makes too much noise for me! Much more than the original.
The DB killer at the end is about 12cm long on mine and made of a straight open tube.
I 'm waiting for a new DB killer from the Ebay shop to offer me less noise. Hope it help!
Could you tel me how long is yours?
Other think I noticed is that the lever that holds the pipe and screwed on the frame is a cheap stuff. Later on I think the pipe won't hold in place and I'm scare It'll come loose and makes the header pipe touch the air cooling hose causing a leak.
We'll see.
Thanks
Got a chance to "nip out" today, just to check if I'd fitted the exhaust correctly. A bit louder on the move, but not objectionable, no reports from home that it was any louder than usual. Improves the acceleration quite noticeably though, so must be a lot more free-flowing.

I wonder if i'ts worth the job to stop feeling the heat coming from the left legs?Quite easy to take the Cat out of the stock exhaust as long as you know someone who can weld stainless.
