Remus, SS).will it be a waste of money if i'm just replacing the exhaust box without replacing the resonator, as the carbon accumulated all over the years will retard the air flow through the factory resonator anyway?been quoted 1.5k SGD for Remus rear box only but i've read that SS is quieter.any Shifu's out there driving e39's with SS or Remus exhausts who can comment on this? any feedback regarding the sound, performance (fuel/power/weight difference) or costs of these exhaust will be greatly appreciated, thank you!</p></blockquote><p></p>
