We present the first results from an ongoing work aimed to use supernovae remnants to discriminate among different type Ia supernovae explosion models. We have computed the hydrodynamic interaction of supernova ejecta with the interstellar medium, obtaining the evolution of the density, temperature and ionization structure of the remnant. We have used ejecta profiles obtained from 1D hydrodynamic calculations of the different explosion mechanisms that are currently under debate. We have analyzed the best indicators that allow to discriminate among the different explosion mechanisms, taking into account the diversity of scenarios proposed for the presupernova evolution of the binary system, and the uncertain amount of electron heating in collisionless shocks.
