Does anyone in the south east have either a Tubi or Eisenmann on an M6 that I can listen to in person?

I take it the Z has gone then.
How do they compare?

Supersprint the only way to go. Also the ONLY right hand drive headers available. Have the full system on my E60M5, sounds great and serious power gains over just messing around with rear boxes and x pipes

yes it has Milu, enjoyed it (mostly) but it became a bit tiring for the everyday and now I can take the fiance and my son out at the same time without having to revert to her french shopping car!

Completely different cars in character, you can really just chill in the M6 but press the M button and its fast in a totally planted jet kind of a way. Its much MUCH better suited to the UK roads, lateral grip is simply immense as a result of the chassis being so resolved.

I`m glad I got the convertible as that engine deserves to be heard more. I think it could be a future classic although I`m not sure how many were made? The interior is full merino tan brown leather and it`s the only one I`ve seen. A very expensive individual option but deffo worth it in the convertible.

I think this one could be a keeper!!

How much if you don`t mind me asking Mark for the full system? Would love to hear it!

John, if you find anyone let me know as I would also be very interested in hearing both exhausts in the flesh. The countless youtube's i've listened to never do exhausts justice really.

I'm a huge fan of Supersprint exhausts and had one on my M Coupe which was lovely, but having been in an M5 with one, I felt it may have lost a bit of the V10 high pitched scream that I would be looking for. Having said that, it was only a short drive, so would like to hear them all again.

The real difference for the exhaust is the headers. Supersprint only created these for right hand drive in May, they added 5bhp to mine. The rest of the exhaust gave only around 12bhp. The headers make quite a bit of difference to the noise but the rest comes from the mid section and mostly the back boxes. They have 3 different levels, I have "street" which is the quietest, but "quietest" is mis leading, people hear it coming long in advance, and it certainly has an awsome scream at high revs, not sure how much of this is down to the headers though.

I'm not honestly sure what the sell price is! I think it is around 5k euros for the full system, it is listed on the supersprint website, same price as left hand drive.

The videos don't really do the system justice, it really is VERY noticeable and unique sounds from quite a distance!
