Does anyone know of any published performance numbers for the Remus exhaust system on the 1600? (preferably from an independent source)

Seriously, guys! You may say that I am a dickhead trying to rain on your parade, but.... $1,400.- for 5 hp and 2 lb-ft of torque???? You have one of the most powerful touring bikes in existence, and you feel you need to pay THAT much for a change you will actually never realize other than maybe hear?? I spent money on bikes and cars for performance increase and the return on investment has always been somewhat questionable, but never THAT bad. How does that old saying about the fool and his money go????

As for the cost, what else am I going to spend $1,500 on?
I didn't get a Remus to pick up any additional power; I just find the stock BMW systems to be too quiet. And I'll take the 11 kilogram weight reduction.

BMW's middle name ain't "motor" for nothing.
They do not fit exhaust systems that strangle their motors.
Read once an article about a guy racing Airhead in AHMRA and he found stock exhaust the best.
"Performance exhaust" is hype, nothing more.
+1, Gunny; I like the way you think RINTY, next time you are in Arizona I will buy you a $100 shot of Macallan! jes' sayin' and nuff said, eh!

Tangible benefit of Remus cans is weight savings. Intangible is noise and appearance. On the other hand, Remus headers remove the cat and increase flow, e.g. advertised 20 lbft increase in torque which you can feel. I went with the headers and had the stock cans powder coated black...
I would be curious to know, where you feel that? Having played with a plethora of bikes and power manipulations that were confirmed (or not) on a dynamometer, I have yet to be able to feel something like a 16% peak torque increase, especially when it is from 119 to 139 lbft at somewhere around 4,000 rpm. I could feel 20 lbft torque increase on my Harley EVO, but that was from 60 to 82 lbft at 2,000 rpm.
