REMUS Exhaust again

[beemaze]

I'm considering adding one of these to my '87 300E, mainly for "looks", not for increased performance--because I doubt it will be noticeable. And I certainly don't won't to make performance worse.

Per various ads the REMUS is supposed to decrease backflow. Won't this affect off-the line torque by actually decreasing it?

Second, how easy is it to install one of these? I've read in various catalogues that they just "bolt" on to the rear resonator. But looking underneath my 300, I seriously doubt it. It looks like the stock rear muffler/exhaust is welded onto the stock rear resonator. That means some cutting and fitting will be involved. Another way of getting around this may be just to replace the rear resonator with a new one (factory or OEM) and fit the new exhaust to the rear resonator. Apparently, from looking underneath my 300, the rear resonator actually bolts onto the catalytic convertor assembly.

Your comments would be appreciated.
