Haven't see the OPT tips yet, they're relatively new to the lineup.

Can't confirm cross compatibility between different exhaust manufacturers - even if OD was correct, other factors like length may not be. If it did, it would be by coincidence.

I agree, I wish there were more options that didn’t cut to wide open straight pipes. So far only MPerformance, and Akra offer some form of post valve sound control.

Your marketing team doesn’t understand their demographic. I don’t know who that ad was for, but it was not for car enthusiasts or die hard M fans.

With that out of the way, exhaust sounds decent, looks really nice and has some customizable tip options. But you might actually hurt sales with that ad.

When everyone else is moving towards short clips and fast facts, you’re writing a novel for the deaf.

Appreciate your opinion, but I don't believe there is anything wrong with having all info consolidated into a single thread.

Forum members can choose on their own whether or not their attention span can withstand it. But at least the info is out there for who needs it.

Are you shopping for a G87 exhaust or even own an M car? That’s a lot of personal opinion to throw at a forum sponsor from the far sidelines.

That’s fair, I was specifically calling out the initial video only. Everything else you included in the thread is great and informative to shoppers.

Now that I’m seeing your reply, I’m guessing you as a sponsor and vendor maybe didn’t even have anything to do with that video, so I should probably check my target before throwing shade.

I own a Remus catback exhaust because of the sound, quality, fit and finish.

I see now where you’re getting at and I absolutely agree with you. it seems a lot marketing has shifted from showing off the merits of the actual product to showing these types of “exclusive lifestyles” that can be unlocked by purchasing XX product, wheel companies are notorious for doing this. Apparently, it’s working since lots of companies are doing it. But I probably wouldn’t be their target demographic either.

Remus shouldn’t need to do this. They’ve been around forever and they are one of the best at what they do.

Full disclosure, the Remus website isn’t exactly the easiest to navigate and it was pretty difficult allocating info and media in one place. I’ve always been an info/facts person, which is why you’ll see full descriptions of products like this in our posts and on our website.

Pretty bold to say they don't understand their target AND that you don't know who the ad was for on the same line. (Also worth noting that hobbies, interests, and brand affinities aren't demographics.)
