I purchased my K1100LT new in 1996 and now has over 150,000 miles. Over the years, the stock exhaust was welded at the 4 into 1 three times before I had to replace it with another used K1100LT exhaust. Unlike the K100 and K1200, the K1100LT uses a one piece exhaust that has cracking problems.

Since my K1100LT is one of my five bikes I don't plan on selling, I decided to look for a quiet aftermarket exhaust, since stock exhausts are getting hard to find. I soon realized REMUS is one of the few (if not the only) that still makes an exhaust for this bike. REMUS has a quiet touring exhaust and a sport exhaust that fit on a header, making it a two piece system. My big concern was the noise. I wanted a quiet system. So I ordered the REMUS quiet can and header and am really pleased with the look and sound. It's a bit louder between 2-3,000 RPMs. However, its no louder at idle or cruising speeds. The header fits the stock 02 sensor and the power is very good. I'm very happy with this system.

I purchased the REMUS exhaust from Wunderlich America, www.wunderlichamerica.com

Wow, that looks sharp!
I couldn't find any Remus products on Wunderlich's website though. Did you have to call them?

Thanks for the info, Ken.

Ken, has Remus changed the location of the O'2 sensor by chance?
When I got mine, the sensor location in the header was at about 5 O'clock when looking from the rear. I would have thought a ccw rotation to about 2 O'clock would have worked well and kept the wires more protected.

Here's a photos of the 02 sensor location. When looking from the rear, the sensor is at the 3 0'clock position facing inward horizontally.

Good choice. I have had mine for a number of years and it is the cat's meow....

The bike has 150,000 miles on the clock and it still looks like new. This exhaust should last another 150,000 miles.
