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.
