Remark vs Invidia R400 vs Other?

[Pe0plez]

Looking for some opinions here. I was pretty much sold on the REMARK Sports Touring Exhaust but now there is a pretty good sale on the Invidia R400 which is honestly tempting me. Does anyone have any opinions on either, positive or negative welcome. Or if anyone has any seperate suggestions. I had a few wants that narrowed it down to these two options.

1. I want to keep the triple tip design as I think this looks good and makes the car unique.

2. I want to retain the functionality of the OEM valve. I know it doesn't do much but I want to be able to switch into comfort mode and actually have it make some sort of a difference when my wife or family are in the car.

Any opinions or thoughts are welcome.

Brother, I am saying this with passion in my heart. No hate whatsoever.

Exhausts. Especially for this platform, I could summarize to you by saying that almost every aspect pertaining to each model, material, brand, construction, sound, weight, etc is completely and utterly subjective. Yes, there have been a brand or two that several fellas has called out for crap welds (AWE). Others live, eat, and sleep JDM only exhausts. Others care about nothing but performance and weight savings. The list goes on and on and on.

My best suggestion to you in this, and you are already half way there. Narrow down your choices based on whatever you want. From there, its just the matter of doing your own research on those exhausts you have selected.

Personally, my next exhaust shall be the twin tip, full titanium remark system.

Wish you the best of luck.

By the way, that exhaust isn't on sale, that's normal pricing (MAP), no one buys that exhaust at MSRP.

Remark is better quality, I will say that.

This was actually well said.

After hearing several exhaust on youtube. This car has no exhaust that really sounds amazing. I'm guessing it has to do with it being turbo and not a super high revving engine.

I'm getting old...I settled with something quieter and less attention grabbing. Don't like the obnoxious "look at me" pops and bangs that has been trending. Went with the Remark Q Spec exhaust. Never heard of it but quality seems decent even though I think it's probably made in China. I have no problem with China made as long as the company chose a good quality factory to make it.

This is kinda what I figured, I know everyone wants something different out of their exhaust. I was just curious as to others experience with these exhausts or if they could share any similar ones I can look into.

Huh, strange that some shops show it as on sale then... But this changes my mind quite a bit if it's not actually on sale.

I had a remark exhaust on my old car and it was top notch quality, and from what I've heard this one is as well.

I have the Remark tri exhaust, and have nothing but good things to say about it. Quality is top notch, and sounds great! Also, I like the fact that it retains the exhaust valve.

I think I've made up my mind to go with the remark, now I just gotta wait for it to go on sale. (Easier to convince the wife that way.) I also plan on reaching out to see if they offer a discount if I pick it up since they're local to me.

I've had zero quality issues with my R400. I also had it on my FK8 and had no concerns. I personally wanted a burnt triple-tip, as well as one that retained the valve. To me, the R400 had the sound I was looking for. I like a deep throaty exhaust. I wasn't concerned about drone, as the car is rarely driven.

Remember it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I'm sure the wife would understand lol

I did it with my wheels

Have you tried the dual res delete? Makes a huge difference to stock unless this is already what you have. Not stupidly loud but a lot louder than oem and sounds pretty good on WOT. If you going home late at night you also don't need to worry about waking your neighbours up unless you're ripping it through the streets.

Highly recommend doing this before deciding on getting a louder exhaust.

The only issue with this is finding a competent exhaust shop that does decent welds. All of the shops around me can't weld for sh!t. Why won't anyone make a resonator delete kit that's clamped on for the FL5 like this one for the Audi S3 => Volkswagen Golf VII R 2.0T Gen3 Exhaust Performance Midpipe - 020296ecs02KT - MK7 Golf R / 8V A3/S3 Resonator Delete Pipe Kit

My wife's S3 have this optional resonator delete kit from the factory and I would be very happy if I can get a similar noise out of the FL5! A kit similar to the VW/Audi would be fairly simple to manufacture, but I don't know why anyone in the Honda community/vendor won't make one for the FL5? MRT makes one for the 1st resonator, but nobody makes it for the 2nd resonator?

Yeah that is true, had mine done and not going to lie the welds aren't no Akrapovič quality. But to me, as long as they are done pretty good with no cracks, then it will be fine. At the end of the day, its just a pipe that sits under your car that no one can see, until you hoist the car up.

We can work something out with you. We're local as well. Message/text us.

I haven't personally tried it on my car, but I saw/heard a couple people's that had it done at the Honda Meet last month and it didn't quite do it for me. Plus I like keeping all my oem components intact just in case I ever want to revert the car back to sell or something. (I know, I'm a hoarder)

I'm working something out with Meraki here is SoCal so I should have it figured out soon.
