M3 M Performance exhaust unboxing and review

flipm3 · 03-12-2011, 03:29 AM

thanks for sharing! it would be great to hear peoples thought in comparison to an Akrapovic Slip On, considering that most people tend to like it for it's mild manner.

im definitely looking forward to more pics!

gthal · 03-12-2011, 05:50 AM

Awesome review Amer!! Really appreciate this. Sounds like and amazing exhaust for those looking for a subtle increase in sound.

GOLFFRR · 03-12-2011, 08:18 AM

Awesome write up Amer. This exhaust sounds like its a real winner for those of us who want a little more aggressive sound that won't wake up the neighbors or drown out the cabin! Might. Reconsider the akra and get this exhaust for myself.

Richbot · 03-12-2011, 08:21 AM

Sounds like a really good muffler option for people who want to remove some cats without ending up with too much volume. Can't wait to see the comparison videos.

AMPowerJ · 03-12-2011, 09:00 AM

Nice review and I look forward to the videos. I too would love to know how the exhaust note compares to the Akra. I don't always here positive comments about how the Akra sounds.

Kyoshi71 · 03-12-2011, 09:50 AM

Looks amazing Amer. I have officially changed my mind about this thing (price was the issue). The black has got me SOLD!!

Thanks for the update and review. Very helpful information. It sounds like what I'm looking for in an exhaust). I look forward to more pics and the videos!!

Looks like this will be my next exhaust set up! Thanks for the review

man, I'd probably be right behind you for one of these if they didn't charge so much.

Thanks for sharing. Can we convince someone from EAS to compare it to Akra slip on?

anthony @ eas · 03-14-2011, 03:10 PM

Here are the photos of the install and the photos I took of the car afterward. A video is at the bottom.

kaykay · 03-14-2011, 03:24 PM

Sounds great!

Wish there was a performance gain, even minimal (like 5hp) would warrant the $4,300 price tag.

GOLFFRR · 03-14-2011, 03:53 PM

sounds awesome!

datbimmerdoe · 03-14-2011, 04:46 PM

whoa! looks and sounds incredible!

JCtx · 03-14-2011, 05:22 PM

I have to say I'm disappointed with the sound. Sounds like a Mustang. It should have sounded like stock IMO, but louder. Volume is perfect, but not the tone. Anyway, do those have Helmholtz anti-resonance chambers, like stock? Curious.

Nice photos and video!

I like it. Perfect for an aggressive, yet not loud sound

How is the level of bass at the lower rpm's compared to the previous Eisenman Sport (and stock, if you recall)? Noticeably less at start-up and after warming up during normal driving? I'm very curious to hear about this!
