ESS. Then again, I'm bias.

Orange fever · 07-20-2013, 04:13 PM

they both sound great but one is louder than the other

ESS sounds better in vids. Makes more power too...

Sounds better in real life, too.

I kind of like the Eisenmann a bit better, but both sound sweet!

Well are you debating between a HFC system versus just a muffler? Ess then lol

Repoman · 07-23-2013, 06:09 AM

I would go for the ESS one.

+1 Eisn race + mid pipe? if so which mid pipe? so many options so many different tones.

ESS full system with HFC will not only sound good but will give you power gains if you are comparing it to just the Eisn race mufflers.

Eisn race is very loud in person and with certain x pipes its unbearable for DD to most people where as the ESS full system is a lot more suitable for DD IMO

I've got Eisenmann Race, catless with 2 OEM resonators. It's perfect for me. If you are cruising at about 3k RPM, the car is pretty much as quiet as my old OEM exhaust mod (muffler alone). Step on the loud pedal and it roars. I've never heard an exhaust that is so capable of doing both things.

Heck, at idle, it's quieter than my old ACM exhaust mod!
