SS/Eisenmann/RPI ?

Which one would you choose and why? I am looking for race SS/Eisenmann and RPI. Could you post some videos with good quality so i could somehow compare them? Much appreciated!

Eisenmann but its way too exspensive. I think its like double the price of the SS and 3 times more than the RPi.

But it does sound awesome :P

why not the Diablo if you mind me asking? I'm looking at exhausts too so just wondering why you would cancel that one out?

I've heard Eisenmann on E46 M3s, but not our cars. (apples & oranges I'm sure)
No personal experience with RE Diablo either.

I've owned SS Powerloops & have had considerable seat time in a friends M Coupe with SS race.
I agree with^ they sound amazing.

BTW shift@red, how are you enjoying the change from Powerloops to Race?


&
SS race at Leather Z = $1,350
RE Diablo = $1,195

I think i was quoted over $3k delivered, i thought the exhaust its self was closer to $3k. Ah well still pretty pricey.

Chances are pretty good I'll end up with SuperSprints;
I've heard both types & love them.

Savings on the RE Diablos is nice but IDK if I could pull the trigger based on Youtube vids.

^ have you always had the mid X pipe?
I had it with my powerloops & it was great.

Just wondering what impact it has on sound (if any) with the race.

Definitely agree about the flow vs the OE piece.
The extra sound volume with the race is the only thing that has me sitting on the fence.

yes i also believe that, but maybe its a good change of the sound , maybe not. I believe SS race is the best way to go.. Is there SS race lightweight ?

i asked because i think for the e46 m3 there is SS race lightweight ( i am not sure again ) i think i ll go with the SS race
