AA, Akra, or Eisenmann Sport?

I just bought an m3 coupe, and just wanted some help with deciding an exhaust, basically, i want a cat back exhasut, i want it to be a louder than stock but not to loud where are im asking for trouble. and minimal drone, i currently have a acs exhasut on my 3 series and it has drone at 2000rpm, which doesnt really bother me anymore, but I dont want the drone to be to much, also which has the best build quality.

Ive narrowed it down to three choices, AA exhasut, Akra Slip-on, and Eisenmann sport.

Please help its been driving me crazy for 2 months now......Thanks again guys....

I have owned all three. I can say all three are of equal build quality. If was to do it all over again, I'd choose Eisenmann Sport over the others. I think it has the most refined sound. Although I can't knock the sound of the other two. They are all good choices, and it's a tough decision.

Arkapovic you can't really hear a difference, eisenmann sport sounds real clean and has a nice grunt to it.

My current Akrapovic slip-on sounds completely different than OEM.

I agree on the Eisenmann comment.... It's a damn nice muffler

I've loved my exhaust since the day I put it on. (I think all M3's should come with it stock). It "matches up" to our car better than stock (too quiet). If I want it more aggressive in the future, I can always add an x-pipe to the existing setup.
With your choices, you won't go wrong either way.
