Got a technical query? Found another 0.02bhp? Ask/tell the world.

The biggest annoyance is the gerking big box where the cat used to be, sorta like a steel beer keg without the benefits of what would be inside one :D

What is the limit on noise in dB's in the UK at present? think they said the road was 93dB and the race 97dB. I thought the UK was 92dB :?

Rob - I've got the remus road, but the box is hidden by the belly pan so it's OK :lol:

Quality item.

sadly the big box is a must, The straight through system loses approx 5bhp, its like riding a R850R. Without the back pressure gases go straight though and strip away the mid range torque. I had a huge argument with the importer, who lied and said that it must be my bike, but eventually admitted that without the box horse power was lost. I bought the system from Guildford Tyres, and the box from SPC, but SPC were allowed to sell the box at cost to me as a sorry for the agro. I have tried bikes with all of the other systems and the REMUS still has the strongest mid range pull, albeit not the best top end.
