Exhausts and Engine » Akropovich Titanium Headers and Remus 8 silencer

I’m hoping they work together. I originally ordered the Akro silencer also but fortunately it was out of stock because I had a change of heart. I found a good deal on the Remus 8 so I jumped on that instead. I like the sharp angles on it better than the Akro teardrop shape.

I split lanes for 80 miles a day in Los Angeles traffic so I wanted to get louder. A lot of people don’t see me so I want them to at least hear me.

My preliminary research shows that this muffler doesn’t have a drop in midrange torque like some of the other mufflers. Anyone have any experience with the Remus 8? I haven’t seen any videos of it on an RS only a GS.

If you really want to oust the drop in mid range torque you'll need to disconnect the narrow band lambda sensors and get a tune done. The closed circuit mode is the real culprit here.

Thanks! I'll be looking to get a tune soon.

I couldn't wait for the muffler and I put the headers on tonight. Not as life changing of an experience as one might hope for the price but it definitely looks better in my opinion. I can feel the engine is happier to rev a little bit and it's a touch louder/deeper but neither observation is very noticeable. Still very much looking forward to the muffler.

Curiousity got the best of me and I had to start it up without a muffler. LOUD as heck! So loud it hurt my ears and my last bike was a Harley, made the Harley seem like it was whispering sweet pillow talk. But I will say the bike looks so damn good without the muffler on nor the passenger foot rest. Makes that rear swingarm really stand out. This is the look I aspire towards.

I received the Remus 8 silencer and put it on. When I went to remove the db killer thing it wouldn't budge. I think I got the version where it is not removable. Well, not easily removable. I removed the screw and now I'm cutting the little welds but it's been a pain to remove.

I can't say I love the sound with the db killer installed. I'll report back when I get it off.

Finally got some time to work on it and got that sucker out. What a pain that was. Took me at least 15 minutes. But it sounds so much better now. Deeper. I'm super happy with both the look and sound of this muffler. It's badass.

Got any pics of the combo?

I’m putting a bunch of other stuff on it this weekend and I’ll take some pictures at the end.

I didn't get as far as I wanted to this weekend. I had a Minnie Mouse Kitchen set to build for my two girls that took a lot more time than I expected. Came out nice though, and they love it.

But I did get my modded rear sets and exhaust hanger on. So imagine my bike having black valve covers, black center tank plastic, and black handlebars/upper triple tree. That's where I wanted to be this weekend. Next weekend is busy too so I won't get to the rest of this for two weeks. Anyway here are some pictures and a video.

You might consider these. Blacked out and excellent protection as an added bonus

I actually already have the head covers powder coated black. Just need to install them
