I'll try to get a measurement for you when I get home. If you look at the end section though you'll see it's really an inner and an outer section.

Thank you very much for the effort to take measurements.

I have a akrapovic evolution coming tommorow and Milltek catless downpipes and I will see if it fits together.

What do you reckon is, then? I am starting to feel like it's a toss up between Akrapovic and Remus. No, not because of the carbon tips, but more so because they're deeper and throaty sounding.

Any videos links to Remus? Never have heard of them before.

I can't believe they are giving Akra troubles for importing these pieces of art!!

Agree. I take it you heard it in person too! It's something we all have to deal with unless we go with a V8. It's AA for me for now

You technically still can get Akrapovic's Evo Link pipes but it is pretty much going to cost you an arm and a leg to do so.

Well... you can... but, shipping will cost a ton. I know that Akra stuff ships in one single piece, so you get the entire Evolution Pipe in a box that is all ready to go.

That box is big... soo...

If you can though... I'll be your new best friend!

If shipping cost is the only "setback" thank I dont see the problem. Akrapovic factory is only a hour away from my house. But they can label it "race use only" and still be avle to sell it?!
Anyway if someone is set to have it Im sure they can get it

Ordered a full EVO system a couple of days ago..

The slip on rear Akra was available, but the mid pipes are currently out of stock. Cant wait!

Best choice IMO
