I've now heard both the Eisenmann Race and Sport in person, and the sound on both is the best of any exhaust I've heard so far. As far as volume goes, if you want a quiet exhaust, not too much louder than stock, definitely go with the Sport version. It's one of the quieter exhausts on the market: a touch louder than the Dinan, which is just a little louder than stock.

The only downsides to the Eisenmann Sport IMO is that it is actually a few pounds heavier than stock (most aluminum axle-back exhausts are 10-15 pounds lighter), it is pretty pricey for an aluminum axle-back setup, it's not a bolt on application unless you buy special connecting pipes from IND, the mufflers hang down a bit much (not as bad as the OEM, but more than I'd like), and the performance gains seem a little less than other manufacturers. Sounds like a lot of issues, but these are very minor gripes for what is an incredibly sounding system.
