I installed that Eisenamn race system on my rig the other day. The sound is unreal, the blips in between shifts sounds like nascar. The cold starts are brutal. Overall, the set up is tame but in m+s mode it's wild. I'll post a vid of a cold start. I'm working with my fab people to install a couple resonators in addition to the stock ones in hopes of blocking out some of the "bark". I think that will be the magic formula. I saw a vid on the sport and the guy was complaining that it sounded quieter than stock. I think this race set up with a couple resonators will do the trick. That and I paid $100 to install it. It took about 25 minutes. Beats the hell out of $800 and 6 hours!

I originally though that keeping the stock exhaust with dps would be the fix, the logic being that I would get the raw sound from the engine and that would be managed at the end. But I'm not satisfied with the sound. There are few spots where the true potential barks out but it's short-lived. The other problem I have is with the stock exhaust box. At certain rpms it has a buzz or rattle that sounds dreadful! I think it's probably the exhaust valves on the inner t/ps. And I don't believe this box wasn't intended to run non-catted. I am leaning towards a Meisterschaft system as my next step. It's valved and sounds really good - at least on Youtube! It sounds like the Eisenmann Sport system would have been your first choice since you wouldn't have had to install resonators, is that correct? It's tough to make decisions when all you have are forum opinions and Youtube clips! But I know the right combination is there, I've heard it, even if it was fleeting... |

Yeah the sport would have been my first option for sure, worth even the risk of it not being loud enough. I got a deal on a good looking race version and I had to jump all over it.
I agree with your logic, stock exhaust and castles DP's. You would think that makes sense. I already know the problem lies in the fact there are no cats. That is the secret ingredient keeping that cheap sounding bark out of the system. I know for certain that installing some cheap cats in front of the Eisenmann would do it some crazy justice. They would literally serve the function of secondary cats like most AMG's have. The problem of course is that you'd be restricting airflow and that's no good either. Here's my e63 with mid length headers, catless, to stock muffler: Here's the same car with Kleemann high flow cats (200 cpsi). It's almost the same sound. The high flow cats did nothing for the noise and I ended up going back to stock exhaust with the mid length headers. Point is it's all a pipe dream. The only thing that will get rid of the bark is a good 600+ cpsi cat. That's when you get into quality sound territory. Here's the X with stock DP's and Eisenmann Race: |

Couldn't tell you. Had all the pipes installed on a Saturday night and the cats welded in that following Monday morning. What I can tell you is I think the sound is perfect with this combination. Decent on cold start, quiet at cruising, and great on acceleration. The Eisenmann goes a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng way at making the sound good. I wanted to make sure that the muffler I chose had valves and had a well thought out and refined sound. Eisenmann's are never known for their power, but the sound they make is awesome to me. This sport muffler did the job of cleaning up what is 3 inch x-piped system with 100 cell to muffler. I'll try and get some sound clips eventually. I think you guys will really like it. My X5M sounds like a M car now. |

It always fascinates me how some people can be so blatantly ignorant...

Curious why you didn't just buy the coated ones direct from VSRF?

What we will see is it was never "lets see if it adds power", the question is how much, and the turbos will spool faster which will give you a quicker throttle response.
