I got my Remus

[BMW_Hatchback]

My bad I was hooking up my HIDS for most of the morning. They should be up very soon so subscribe.

I couldn't deal with this any longer


I originally was going to do this in my driveway, but it was too dangerous and I didn't have enough tools to get the nuts off.
So I went to my buddy's shop to borrow his lift and tools





We found the culprit, laying in his lair. We had no choice but to depsose of him.

However the exhaust wasn't my issue, but the nuts at the flange


Had no choice but to go to the cutter to cut the whole bolt in half.



Just a quick glance around the shop

So then I begin to cut the nuts and bolts, and the battery died in less than 20 seconds.


The bolt flew off and hit a buddy in the nose LOL he didn't even flinch. I kept it as a souvenirs.


So they both come off and they are not reusable, good thinking I brought replacements straight from the dealership. I recommend this, even if you get them off by the wrenches and vice grips. So the hardest part is now complete. Make sure you hold onto the spring that fly off as well. One of mine flew off and I couldn't find it, so I had to borrow one from the guys there.



Here are what the hangers look like on the OEM catback.

The middle

The right


To get those off, you have to push them off of the edge with a flathead. trying to wedge/fold them out will not work, and it will wear you out.
Comparison of the Remus and the OEM
remus has 20,xxx on it, OEM has 125xxx on it.


Some Remus photos

The remus was quite the lightweight champ putting it on there on my own. I had to hold the fat end up with my head to fasten the middle hanger.

Here are the Remus hanger photos



After you have those in, get a vice grip and clamp the flange together to put the nuts and bolts back in, don't try to hold it together with your hand or else it will not be a tight fit. More photos, edits,videos, and audio to come, stay tuned.

The Finish.

Sweet man.

Btw, which HIDs did you get? I just got mine in the other day. They're Apexcone slim 55w, 8000k. I got them from Understeer.com.

[BMW_Hatchback]

Ha! I've got 8k as well. They seem to be the best for style and function. The brand of mine isn't anything special, but I guess they are pretty good because the igniters are built into the balast, unlike my old ones. How much did those cost you?

[Shaggy]

Nice.. it was a little over $200. Not too bad. It's the race kit too.

[BMW_Hatchback]

This is my second FREE Pair of HID kits. LOL

[Shaggy]

Haha, lucky you. Alright, just installed the lights and damn... they are really bright! I had H1 PIAA lows on there before and it's like 3 times brighter. lol

[BMW_Hatchback]

Nice, I have like 2 pairs of balast in my trunk being unused. I may try to hook then up to my fog lights. Those were free as well
