REMUS vs ikon

who has heard both in person? i've heard video clips and i don't think it justifies their true sounds. which exhaust do you think sounds better? the RE ikon exhaust or the remus exhaust. i'm planning to buy one but i'm torn between the two. eiesenmann is out ...too much for me =[

I had an eisenmann and an ikon, there is very little difference, and I happen to think the ikon was a little more refined sounding, if not quite as loud as eisenmann race.

Get the Ikon and pair it with the Simota CF intake. Killer combo!! My Ikon sounds louder now after almost two months of use. With the Simota intake and the Ikon your car will sound sick once you get it above 4000k RPM to red line. I like it a lot!

Lunars [west coast] are my favorite shoes.

i'm set on the ikon exhaust. don't know about intakes just yet. the intakes out right now are just ram intakes. still waiting for a CAI.

where can i get installation done? anywhere?

does the ikons sound better than a g35? are they as loud as bikes[motorcycles]?

If sound levels don't matter I'd get an Ikon (I understand its not as loud as Eisenmann)

I can't get pulled over for various reasons so I'm trying to get the remus but I cant find a US distributor
