Eisenmann exhaust for E92 M3

[E38Ross]

Hi guys,

any idea how much this costs, anywhere near southampton do it, and are there any performance gains, or is it purely aural pleasure?

thanks

I did some reading up on these, there can be some power in them, but it might need a full system, and at the moment, there is a huge M tax on them.
I know someone who has dynoed some, and got 8hp from an Akropovic system, but it's a lot of money to spend.

X pipes are popular too, most claim decent power increases, but I think that comes from the decatting that usually takes place too.
Considering a lot of X pipes are around the £1k mark, I was expecting to see some technology in them, but they usually follow the OEM design.
The actual X part is where a centre mount fits which means they can't be moved about for some real exhaust tuning.

I've a horrible feeling some people are just throwing money at the most expensive and exotic sounding names for a status thing.

Nevertheless, any back box should change the sound and make it a bit more V8 like, but you'd need to hear them to pick the one that fits your taste.

I have the race version on my z4 3.0i and a mate has it on his 335i and we both love it

expensive mind. mine was 800, his was 1200 ish

Aren't Eisenmann exhausts stupidly loud, or are there different noise levels to choose from?

great comment on the vid too. obviously a ph fan.

Yea, he hides about on here, follows any thread that mentions PH and makes some stupid comment.

Most likely he got told off on here, and the shame still stings.

[E38Ross]

are the race exhausts "too loud" for normal road use? what are they like on the motorway...do they make an intrusive noise? one of the great things about the M3 is that when you don't want to go fast, it'll shut up and be quiet; it'd be a shame to lose that aspect.

thanks again

I'm not going to beat about the bush it is loud. and I have said goodbye to any chilled out motorway driving. at 2-3k sitting at 65 you know it's there, drop down a cog and push it to 7000rpm and it's awesome.

mine is the 3.0, I'd love to hear the race on a m3

I had the BMW M Performance exhaust fitted today. First impressions are very little increase in sound below 4k rpm but sounds great further up the range. BMW don't post any power improvement but it is more free flowing so maybe a couple of hp. It's made of inconel so is very light.

The other option was Eisenmann which sounded a bit more boomy at low revs. I'd say the M Performance is about the same as the sport, the Eisenmann race would be considerably louder.

Yeah seen a few M5's with Eisenmann exhausts, sound amazing.

The V10 is very different sound to the V8 though.
