Joe, this sounds class! The main thing for me is you don’t get the god awful loud pops and bangs on the overrun, just a nice subtle rumble when you lift off. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
This (more practical) modification video is fantastic - thanks Joe. I'm getting the M Performance exhaust for my new M5 Comp in a couple of weeks... the difference it makes to driving enjoyment should be amazing! I had the same for my old M4. Would be interested to get your views on the merits of Remus vs BMW M Performance
An excellent choice Joe! I have the same car and are thinking of making a similar mod down the track. It’s a pity you had to substantially dip into your pocket to rectify what should’ve been standard fitment on a vehicle of this calibre!!
Hi Joe, Oh so sweet! Been thinking about buying a M2 Manual for a bit of daily, but mainly track work. But as you know, the exhaust and saggy balls has been putting me off. I think I have watched all your vid's on the M2 now, and this was the best! I really enjoyed that, and that maybe enough to tip me over into buying one, WITH Remus installed. Well done, and a massive thank you.
I've had a decatted Fi exhaust fitted and it sounds like nothing else. Remus is the more sensible way, Fi is savagery to the max. And the best part is, with the valves closed, it is quieter than stock!
sounds so much better and looks amazing also its how it should of came standard as you say. Personally still little bit too quiet for my liking but i understand why you kept it civil. :)
While it sounds much improved. It's still a bandaid fix to a bigger problem - the engine just doesn't sound spine tingling in the way the old NA engines did (crackle 'n' pops aside). Mercedes did a good job with their turbo engine (ok, it has 2 extra cylinders). The sound/ noise is such a big part of the experience in these type of cars, that once you're use to the added performance the turbos bring, it feels like somethings missing. Maybe the new engine they have lined up for the next M2/3/4 will address this... here's hoping.
Mercedes doesn't sound any better with their 4 or 6 cylinder engines, dunno what your on about. Yes the NA engines sounded better, so did the Mercedes ones, you could say that about pretty much all manufacturers.
You need to listen to their V8 turbo (which is the engine referenced would be with an extra 2 cylinders), as that does sound good. It's in their C63 & E63 cars.
Well done Joe, super little vid. Just had the exhaust done on my new M140i Shadow Edition which I collected over Xmas, I can appreciate how much of a difference a decent exhaust makes. Keep the good content coming bud. 🤘
Great little car the M2 Comp but it Still doesn’t quite have the sound of the N55 with an m performance exhaust, how did they make the N55 and B58 sound so good compared to a M engine, baffles me.
I don't know why people are going crazy over the sound of this car. This engine will always sound crap regardless of the exhaust, it sounded crap when the M3/M4 was first released and hasn't improved. The M235i sounded far better and had a proper deep sporty tone compared to the tin can rattle of the M2 comp & M3/M4.
@@JoeAchilles1 Nothing against you Joe, completely understand why you fitted this exhaust & I'm a big fan of the channel. I'm just disappointed that with each new generation of BMW's 6 pot they've lost their main historical feature, a decent sound.
@@MotechPerformance Yeah thats true and he definitely knows how to drive a manual like a boss, but just watch - chances are when he changes his car he will go for another auto hahahahaha
Finally, the ‘Comp finds its voice 👍🏾 my car is the same way as yours was at the start of the video. I have a 230i and I quite like the sound of the B48, it’s no straight six but it’s reminiscent of the cool 4 cyl BMW motors that came before it and much nicer than the N20 but I struggle to hear it, particularly past 70mph as I have run flats (which I plan to change). I think a dual resonator delete will solve the problem. If you’d ever like to do a comparison video between your car and a fast, manual 2 series that doesn’t have 6 cylinders then I let me know.
Another great mod video to the channel... 😉💪 those exausth carbon tips look awesome!!! Some carbon exterior parts now and would be perfect... congratulations.
I’m in the US without OPF and my M2 comp sounds louder and better stock than the UK spec, to the point that I don’t feel the urge to replace the exhaust. Given the size of these OPF boxes it makes sense there would be such a difference.
Great video guys 👍🏻 it's a shame BMW have gone down the route to muffle the sound, but great that Motech have come up with an alternative .. well done guys
Brilliant! I’ve been waiting to hear what it sounds like before deciding whether to push the button on this for mine. My only worry is that they have to cut the original exhaust so putting it back to standard isn’t possible.
Did the OEM exhaust have to be cut or was it a case of un-doing a clamp? Want to know as if you want to sell as OEM would the exhaust have to be welded back? Thanks,
Like the sound signature! Only Remus exhaust attached? OPF intact? Have you changed/ adjusted software? And most importantly: how is noise level? Big difference between normal exhaust and Remus? I want to fit this exhaust to my M2C too and do not like if sound is too loud. Quality > loudness! Thank you👍🏻
Hi Joe On the back of you I’ve pushed the boat out and bought a new M2C in sunset orange. I’ve already ordered lowering spring and spacers for a specialist in Aberdeen and really fancy the lower note of the Remus race exhaust. What’s the cost of that system if you don’t mind me asking? Great content btw!! Paul
Hey Paul, that's awesome to hear mate, massive congratulations! The exhaust price differs depending on the tips you go for, drop Motech performance a line and they will quote you system only. Cheers for watching my content 🙏
Thanks for the speedy reply Joe! I’ll email Mike tonight. So far you’ve guided me to Michelin tyres, Eibach lowering springs and spacers, Jack at Royal Steering for my M240i and now an M2 Comp!!You are an influence!!! No doubt when I pay this off I’ll be following you into an M3! You must be counting the days to the new G80. Can’t wait to see the smile on your face on ‘new car day’!Great work btw 👍!!
@@JoeAchilles1 You should upgrade your turbos etc. like Ricky did. Pure Turbos or someone in UK. Less is more when it comes to noise 👍You have a great car. Do you sell the black ctrlandshift zip up hoodie @ www.ctrlandshift.com that you and your mate have on in picture on the front page?
Yeah from the videos the M140i sounded a lot louder. Yeah the m2c with PPF’s still sounds a bit strangled, looking forward to hearing a Remus ppf delete
Dear Joe I have recently got an M2 competition and also thinking to change the exhaust as you know the reason, just wannt ask a quick question that why have you chosen Remus over Akrapovic ? well I am having difficulty in choosing in between them
I want a change of exhaust for my M2C. The BMW M Performance is quite pricey, based on my dealers quotation, but should keep the warranty good. I like Remus exhaust I've tried on motorcycles; they're a solid company. But out of interest, why did you go for Remus over M-Performance?
Hey Joe, the signal stalk is on the left yah?... How come the Japanese has it on the right?. I thought they would reflect each other as you guys are driving at the right side...
I put this exact exaust on mine and I get none of the snap crackle. I only get the burble :( is there somthing you did to yours that is not in this video
Hi Joe, big fan of your channel. A question for my M2C I am hesitating between the Akropovic & Remus. Haven't seen any of this in life difficult to decide. any suggestions from your side ? Thanks !
I have lived with a loud exhaust with my old RS Turbo MK1 and the motorway drone was too much, Janspeed sorted that out. You have a good balance with and without the valves open. Exhausts that are too loud don’t match the speed the car is doing, just show and they’ll make you deaf
Thanks so much for the great videos Joe! How much of the pops put out by the Remus in Sport Plus mode are the result of the upgraded intake? Probably hard to tell at this point . . .
Sounds great! Are there any exhausts out there that replace the center resonator too? I assume it would be emissions friendly all the way up to the new regulator gear. I'm in the US, does anyone know if this new emissions regulation gear exists on the US spec M2C?
Its incredible how much a proper exhaust can change a car, specially a sportscar like yours
Agreed mate, transformed my Tesla 😂👌

No M Performance exhaust for the new OPF/PPF models.
Car sounds the way it should have from factory! Cut the bloody OPF's out and really let it sing!!
WeiguChicken Burger is there no opf inside because it s the race version?
@@Basti2727 there is a Opf Right after mid muffler there are 2 of them
Huge difference Joe! Money well spent I reckon plus getting rid of the old ugly back box was satisfying I guess?!
I’ve just had cat back non res Remus fitted to my m4... sounds unreal and a lot louder than I was expecting videos don’t do exhausts justice!!
An excellent choice Joe! I have the same car and are thinking of making a similar mod down the track. It’s a pity you had to substantially dip into your pocket to rectify what should’ve been standard fitment on a vehicle of this calibre!!
Just bought an M2 comp and I’ve loved watching your videos. Thanks for all the great info, I’ll be contacting motech once I’ve taken delivery!

Yes..too quiet for me. on youtube there are some louder cat backs that sound much better
*Yes mate! Now it sounds proper! Epic!*

Yep...
just bought myself the same exhaust and got a öhlins r/t suspension cant wait to install
Just ordered the Remus from motech, made sure to mention I saw your video 🙌
I have to admit that Mike has been a breath of fresh air to deal with as well. Highly recommended
Great to hear, we had a great relationship, especially with Remus back in the day 👌
Absolutely epic Joe. Sounds like a DTM car with the valves open, and yet nice and sensible with valves closed. Perfect.👌
The 30 seconds from 16:20 onwards represents the most "Alan Partridge" any UA-cam car video has ever been. 😂
I had a rust hole in my Corsas exhaust which sounded similar to the Remus💪😂
e Rider hahah 👌🏼
Yooooo Joe. Exhaust is really nice sounds beautiful. Reminds me of e46 m3 sound
Thanks man totally agree 👌
I made it same. Remus race instaled one week ago. It is enough loud for every day use.
Matej Pýcha 🤟🏼
Lovely! I think I'll have to get this for my M2C too. Massive difference to sound!
Yeah man 100% worthwhile 👌
So much better looking, sound is also awesome!
Epic sound !
Not got past the adverts but I know this is going to be good. Liked!
Great choice joe.ricky should have got a Remus system as well😔
Hi Joe, love the video. This is a dream car - even more so now! Sound is such a big part of the enjoyment IMO.
Its much needed on the M2c..
Well done Joe, super little vid. Just had the exhaust done on my new M140i Shadow Edition which I collected over Xmas, I can appreciate how much of a difference a decent exhaust makes. Keep the good content coming bud. 🤘
Cheers man, nothing beats a B58 with a decent exhaust ✌️
When's the next M Lite meet?
On looks alone it's a massive improvement.
Yep yep
Great little car the M2 Comp but it Still doesn’t quite have the sound of the N55 with an m performance exhaust, how did they make the N55 and B58 sound so good compared to a M engine, baffles me.
singleturbo vs bi turbo
Looks so much better. That was one thing I really hated about the M2 was that horrible exhaust hanging down. Good stuff 👍
Cillian Reboul no more ball bag ha
I'm thinking of getting this and then later pairing it with an Active Autowerke midpipe if I want it even louder, could be a cool sound combo
I’m still amazed BMW put this exhaust on a car so perfect.
Smith same as
I am waiting my axel back race remus and intake eventuri for my M440I Xdrive 2021 😊
That looks soooo much better!! Awesome man! Thinking of getting the remus backbox for my PPF m140i.
Mark Plunkett same, let me know if you go for it, keen to see more videos etc!
I don't know why people are going crazy over the sound of this car. This engine will always sound crap regardless of the exhaust, it sounded crap when the M3/M4 was first released and hasn't improved.

@@craigkent8109 You can thank European legislation for that
@@craigtonner5635 It's not all legislation, other brands can still make their cars sound good.
New bmw engines often dont sound good. But this actually did :) reminds me of an old 3.5 m30 engine. Love the old school sound!
Sounds nice, the auto boxes always sound better than manual in boosted cars
I think the same but some people ( Joe ) loves a manual ha !
@@MotechPerformance Yeah thats true and he definitely knows how to drive a manual like a boss, but just watch - chances are when he changes his car he will go for another auto hahahahaha

nice! you lose something at low rpm? or equal to stock?

///Mart let he said did not want it to loud as a daily car 👌🏼

Not that there is room but is it legal to have a valve to bypass the opf filter? 'For track use only' of course. Great upgrade.
The issue with that is the ECU would put engine in limp mode immediately 😕
Really noticeable difference
Now this is the video I've been waiting for ☺😍. Great job as always!

Car sounds great! Any remapping needed for the exhaust or intake?
No bud.
Good improvement in both the sound and looks department 👍🏼
I do understand you might have some specials deals and collabs, but if you know whats the price of the exhaust & installation?
Also does changing the exhaust affect the factory warranty?
Two things that the 'Mk1' M2 did better. Wheels and exhaust note. Looks like both now solved!
What a difference. generally nice to hear those burbles and no stupid bangs like some cars these days

@@JoeAchilles1 😂😂
Approximately how much for the exhaust and install please?
*Please* do a video on exhaust PPF removal
I wish I could, but it won't run without those bloody things
Joe Achilles Can we conclude that you won’t be getting a remap then lol
Does changing the stock exhaust into aftermarket mess up the engine management? Also does it invalidate the Manufactures Warranty ?
It does not as long is it cat back. Akropovic for example is installed by BMW here in Poland without any loss of factory warranty
What would you say was louder, this or the M140i Remus
TOM_E91 m140 was defo a deeper tone
Yeah from the videos the M140i sounded a lot louder. Yeah the m2c with PPF’s still sounds a bit strangled, looking forward to hearing a Remus ppf delete
Ps I’m thinking of a pre ppf M140i with non res Remus
No, it's veey good but doesn't compare to a pre PPF B58 car with a Remus, I wasn't expecting an axle back system to do that though 👌
Joe Achilles fair enough still sounds good though, probably the best sounding exhaust for the m2c with the ppf kept in!
Dear Joe I have recently got an M2 competition and also thinking to change the exhaust as you know the reason, just wannt ask a quick question that why have you chosen Remus over Akrapovic ? well I am having difficulty in choosing in between them
Sounds great but curious why you didn’t do cat back and delete those filters?
Cost and ECU issues
tbh the only way this car sounds compareable good to the old m2 is with getting rid of the opf but then ofc its illegal .. ofc still amazing results
did you have to have a re-map after having the remus fitted?
jonny jones no it’s just a rear box , will need to if you de cat / de opf the car
As Mike says
Will give you a buzz when get my car from bmw around may :)
Hey, is it normal for water to leak from the clamp sections
Sounds really good , much better than stock !
How does it effect you with regards to bmw financing after seeing Ricky’s problems ?
What are the difference between remus and akrapovic besides the weight?
I want a change of exhaust for my M2C. The BMW M Performance is quite pricey, based on my dealers quotation, but should keep the warranty good. I like Remus exhaust I've tried on motorcycles; they're a solid company. But out of interest, why did you go for Remus over M-Performance?
Do M performance do an exhaust for the M2C now?
Joe Achilles not for cars with PPF , they offer them in the states etc
Hey Joe, the signal stalk is on the left yah?... How come the Japanese has it on the right?. I thought they would reflect each other as you guys are driving at the right side...
Would you consider racechips - 500 bhp upgrade?
any particular reason why you didn't remove the opf/ppf? Pain in the ass when its going in for mot?
ECU puts car in limp mode
Joe , what exhaust you had in your m140i was that non resonanted cat back remus ? Thanks
Sound so much better m8 just about to swap my 2016 m140i
For m2 comp but scared my 140 will sound better lol how does it affect warranty
How do you pass an MOT check with something like this?
How much for the whole exhaust ? And w installation ?
Smoking Joe.Cheers.
Yes mateeeeee, sounds awesome 😎
Is this the race exhaust or the one for street legal use?
I put this exact exaust on mine and I get none of the snap crackle. I only get the burble :( is there somthing you did to yours that is not in this video
