Supersprint race vs F1

Does anyone have either of these and can give any input on the main difference in tone ? There's a fairly decent difference in price between the two, the F1 being considerably more expensive.

I have narrowed down my exhaust choice down to SS or eisenmenn based of YouTube videos.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Mine are "Race F1". They sound amazing.

The F1 has chambers to reduce drone (what I was told). The SS does not, and drones . I don't have personal experience with the F1, but I sold my SS Race due to drone.

I have the SuperSprint Race with an RPI Xpipe with no cats or resonators.

There is drone at 2000 RPM.

The way I solved this was by driving above 2000 RPM.

It sounds incredible and its definitely worth it, particularly after its broken in.

Yes. Stock midpipe on E90. I don't think I have drone. Good deep growl on startup without being boomy, and a bit of an exotic tone at high rpm. On track when things are hot I get some crackles on downshifts.
