Hell, that makes sense......

Thanks for the info.....still trying to decide wtf to get. But I really want to be able to hear the exhaust.

On my GT3, I ran "bypass pipes". Basically, you remove the mufflers! lol. Fricken car screamed. I loved it, but my neighbors hated me. They already commented how "quiet" my new car is. lol So, I think bypassing the mufflers is a no-go, but I need some fricken sound! What to do....decisions decisions...

The GT3 with bypass pipes had to sound amazing. The Eisenmann Sport performance is a "neighborhood friendly" exhaust system. It has the same db level as stock but with a deeper tone. Don't get me wrong the Race performance will not wake up the neighborhood but it does have an aggressive tone. Our IND project car with the SS X-pipe and secondary cat-delete pipes with the Eisenmann Race performance is crazy loud and will shake the neighbors houses in the morning

To add my Eisenmann Race with the GruppeM is also not that bad. I personally would go with the Race.

Eisenmann Sport all the way! Perfect sound IMO.

26 secs on is WOT.

Lots of people are thrown off by the name "Race", but in my opinion the sound is still very acceptable. Like a few have said, however, if you have to ask yourself if the race is too loud, perhaps it's best to stick with the sport.

i think i was wrong. i was playing the other night with a I6-powered E46 M3 with Eisenmann race. That car sounded 10x sicker than my car. i cannot imagine how sick it sounds on the V8. for that sound i'd live with a noisy cabin and drone. wow that sounded so sweet.

no Ilia, i have not heard E9x Eisenmann race, but judging from 335's and E46 and other versions Eisenmann produced.

I realize that's a sweeping generalization on his part, but I can see his point. When I have owned MTs in the past, I tend to "race" the engine more than I do on automatics/SMGs/DCT. He also said that he had a couple of customers that had DCTs that reported the same type of drone at lower RPMs.

The only reason I give his statements and observations any credibility is because he makes a living off selling Eisenmann exhaust systems and as a result has had countless conversations with customers owning both types of transmissions (DCT & 6MT) and both types of exhausts (Race & Sport). Beyond that, it's subjective at best.

we had a huge debate last year about this, and Eisenhaus was claiming AT cars will be louder and have much more drone and basically sound like ass compared to 6MT. i didnt buy it. we kept on debating. after i almost go convinced we found out Eisenhaus was only trying to cover up for fake exhausts they were selling. so i still dont see how transmission type makes a huge difference in exhaust. why doesnt it make a difference with stock exhaust?

Cool. Infineon....mmmmm....my favorite track hands down!

The Sport sounds too quiet to me...but of course, it is hard to tell from videos! I guess I need to hear it for myself. I need to get my ass out to the track......I will be done with break-in very soon, so I guess I should pick a day and go! I aint gonna hear one in person sitting on my couch!

You need to hear a Sport/Race in person for sure. Videos make it hard to tell.

For sure! I was just thinking...of course it sounds quiet! I used to run bypass pipes! lol. I will just have to be patient and wait to hear one in person.

Thanks for all the cool vids though Nate....the race with the X-pipe, etc. sounds fricken awesome.

Running a new Eisenmann Race on my 10K mile E92. It's not even loud. It's perfect with no chainsaw rasp and I'm no loud car guy fan.

You've still got the suffocating primary cats (and secondaries) in.

Remove those (x pipe or test pipes) and things get loud!
