+ 1 Mantis. I went with the Eisenmann sport in fear of the race being to loud. I think if your worried about it or even have to second guess yourself, then go with the quieter one.

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.

Tim,
The OEM exhaust specs out like this: moving vehicle = apr. 75 db stationary vehicle = 92 db at 6.225 1/min value of backpressure = 0,47 bar at 2. gear and 0,51 bar at 3. gear weight of the muffler = apr. 21 kg The Sport system is not numerically louder, just much deeper and better sounding than the OEM system. It's perfect for those who want a better sound, without extra sound volume. Obviously, it's not common for manufacturers to take the time to measure decibel and backpressure values, but this should give you some perspective with Eisenmann systems VS stock.

Why would the transmission type make a difference in the exhaust sound?

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. |

Me too. I went with the Sport exhaust and so far it is awesome. No too loud...definately not as soft as the OEM one. Just right!

This is incorrect. DCT cars have numerically larger gear ratios in most gears other than 1st. This means it is geared lower and hence for a given gear and speed will be at a higher rpm than the 6MT car (and thus producing more hp).

I have the sport which sound great, as described meatier a little louder especially at part throttle and deeper. I might try the xpipe as now I have driven the car for 4,000 miles I want a little more noise !

Keep in mind that the SS X-pipe is not a direct fit and takes a bit of modifiction to fit. I recommend just having a muffler shop remove the rear resonators.
