It's awesome go for it
Go on - you know it makes sense :wink:
For the life of me I can't see the question here ;)
Sorry I dont like that.
Its just loud. Anyone can do loud.
Sounds great, but will it be too much??
BMWs have such beautiful exhaust notes, it'd be a shame to ruin it

Not sure...initially made me think of the 'boy racer' exhausts and I felt it cheapened the car. Maybe better in the flesh and if you have a spare you can play with I guess why not?
Jesus that sounds aweful. Its like any e300 shit box motor with a split flexi pipe or downpipe missing. Im sorry but that just sounds broken. Please dont go that route.
i actually like how it divides opinion...generally most things attached to e60 m5s always do ....
if you go onto the m5board you will see a raft of Eisemann Race exhausts for sale because they are insanely loud and people use their cars for commuting which makes them a pure head ache ... But ive very confident if i put a clip of the very same Eisemann race and asked what people think i know it would be 99% positive...
there does seem to be a negative spin on people doing the standard exhaust mods... ive read loads of threads on e46 m3 exhaust mods and ive always taught they sounded amazing... we did it to our e36 m3 display cars and again they sounded awesome
at the end of the day its a F1 derived V10 which i think deserve to be allowed scream its head off lol
That said i take the point some are making about living with it long ter, - id drop the standard rear section and get a custom one made with no boxes so i can always reverse it - plus i drive this car once a fortnight at best so living with it woht be much of an issue for me....
Now wheres the nearest tunnel :)
An Eisenmann Race may be loud but at least it improves upon the OEM sound.
That muffler delete just sounds cheap and nasty.
You always have the option of an Eisenmann Sport which looks the same but is quieter.
I totally agree, a beautiful singer should sing but that sounds broken.
V8s naturally sound sweet and a decent exhaust is whats needed, maybe a removed cat and entre section.
E60 M5s are classy refined cars, they dont need the same sound as a Mk2 Escort Rally car. It does them no favours.
Its hard to tell what it will sound like on a video but i think its sounds pretty good, how much will it cost to do and undo if you dont like it?? Might be worth trying first before splashing out on an exhaust...
I was very disappointed with the sound from my E92 M3 and i think its the same with the E60 M5 they need an exhaust to get the best out of the engine... Mine is ordered anyway.. :wink:
yea thats a fair point i guess...
i guess what iam getting at is from the sound clips i personally love the sound of it...and for the cost of a 2nd hand rear section (200e) its well worth a twist .... as an Eisemann is coming in at upward of 2500e just for the rear section .... is it 2300 better - i think not ..
and before anyone weighs in with the " oh well you bought an m5 what do you expect " lol ... i can well afford the car ... but i dont believe in just throwing money away in the pursuit of nice brand names etc... there are always options :)
Besides i paid for my personalised plate today lol

Seems to be a load of quality second hand parts for the E92 M3 anyway, i have had 2 mails off lads looking to get rid of parts, all parts added up would be touching €15k i would say...
When i was thinking of buying an M5 i was going to ask this lad to take my old exhaust and give him cash for his, might be worth a thought too..

FYI
A butchered exhaust will void your warranty. A quality aftermarket exhaust will not.
The Eisenmann Race exhaust is not TUV approved though and therefore not street legal. Would this not affect warranty?Quote:

I think it sounds good with the delete myself, but I dont know about the noise on a day to day basis, you would have to hear it in the metal if you know what I mean.
Eisemann exhausts are great, the race is very loud indeed.
Eisenmann Race is not TUV approved due to noise emmision.Quote:

An Eisenmann or equivalnt will have been designed to suit the engine onto which it is mounted. Joe soap cutting and hacking with his angle grinder is not.
Would be interesting to conduct a noise comparison test between 2 video clips and see if people could determine which was a muffler delete system and which was the expensive aftermarket system :wink:
i dont have a warrenty so i dont care lolQuote:
