Check down in the Engine, Exhaust, Drivetrain Modifications section. There are lots of posts about it and Rick Hunter did some nice videos if you'd like to check them out. There are also a bunch up on youtube.

Eisenmann sport is really nice as well....One of the best exhausts I've had the pleasure of hearing inside and outside the car. Absolutely no drone! It's loud enough to be sporty but not so loud it tires you out when driving. I've had loud exhausts, and those that drone on various cars, and man it gets o l d quickly.
Rick's comparisons are side by side same day same conditions same equipment--good stuff. Last edited by Finnegan; 04-13-2010 at 12:24 AM.. |

Thanks for the compliments guys!
My video *could* have been better, but I did what I could in a non-controlled environment. I didn't have access to a decibel meter either. But FWIW I thought it was a balanced comparison due to the filming with the same camera at the same time of the day. We also used the same driver to do the revs and the same cameraman to film it all. |

Decibel meter? Use your iphone like how they did it in Top Gear last season in the tunnel. :-P

a store in california, told me that the Eisenmenn are a much better finish and extra 1000 is worth it... I mean I don't mind, I just want something good.
yeah the whole thing is black and the tips are shiny black... but my car is SHIT BROWN.. so... dunno if it's just gonna look shittier. |

My Diablo's fit and finish is awesome. $1000 more for finish? I think someones blowing smoke up your ShitBrownCoupes ass. The only thing I would change would be how far the pipes stick out from the rear on the Diablo's. I personally love them and def agree that it's my favorite non-perf mod.
Of course Ive never saw a Eisenmann up close so maybe it might have a better finish. Worth an extra $1000? But in the end you must get what makes you happiest. In a perfect world we could hear and drive each one to see. But alas.

Yep. Get compliments on the color all the time believe it or not. People always tell me it's nice not to see a red or black z4 all the time....

when i first got the car in 07, drove by a car mod shop, the sales guy... not too smart.. said. " hey you're the guy that drives that shit brown m coupe, nice! "
I personally think it's interesting.. and honestly, the white makes the car look typical. Black, can't see any detail. Blue... makes the car look small. Red... only on ferarris and porsches.... silver.. everywhere... so.... Shit brown it is. Plus, we're getting older... and stepping out of a blue car when you're starting to go bald.. looks wierd. haha. |

I really like the color of your coupe, I think it would look insane with black wheels. Then again, your LM-R's look really good.
Wait a minute, you just said my car looks small, and when I start going bald I am going to have to sell it. Good to know... thanks
