Any X pipe you get without secondary cats and resonators will be the loudest.

With eisenmann race...it will destroy your lovely quiet sound inside...and outside.

Similar question. I have an eisenmann race and will be getting an ESS s/c later. What xpipe offers the best power without much more noise?

+1 Brosef's car is loud, but sounds amazing. The Challenge street would be a nice solution if you're looking for some middle ground. The street maintains the factory cats, but does require trimming the OEM section x-pipe.

On a side note, do I need to have Eisenmann connecting pipes to attach my exhaust or will any brand work?

Yea, Race was too loud for me, but it was pure sex. Currently running sport.

I'd stick with Challenge - their quality is superb. I have the sport, which replaces the primary cats with HFC. The race eliminates the primary cats but doesn't have HFC's, so it's the loudest. The street doesn't eliminate the primary cats, so it will be the most civil and will not throw a check engine light. The downside of the street is that the gains won't be as big as the other two since the primary cats (the most restrictive part of the stock exhaust) won't be eliminated.

In order of quietest to most aggressive (and also in order of increasing power gains):

Street
Sport
Race

If you're looking for an x-pipe that deletes secondary cats and resonators, check out the Sosi X-Pipe below!
