I'm debating between the two. Has anyone gone through this same thing and what did you decide.

Had the Eisenman Race exhaust on the X5M, essentially the same motor, and it sounds perfect when its warmed up and driving pretty aggressive. Start up on the race is literally like a pack of wolves fighting. My whole neighborhood knew i was heading to work. My neighbors were probably planning my demise lol. It set off car alarms everywhere i went. It even made the plastic parts on the X5M rattle. But with spirited driving, all that was forgotten because it sounded so damn good!

If I were to do it over again, or even for my new M5, I'd go for the valved exhaust to control the rattling and start up noise. Only because the Race attracted too much attention and created chaos.

I have Eisenmann race exhaust and it's loud on cold start and it dose sets alarm ( every ones in a while ) on M240 that's parked next to me. But I do want to remove cold start.
I had one Akrapovic and 5 Eisenmann exhaust's and to be honest both are great.
Mine first exhaust was Eisenmann in Germany on 323TI and I have fall in love with them ever sense

It seemed like the consensus on the xbimmers e70 forums was the race version was too loud for a bmw.

I have E-race on my X5M and love it. Yes, cold start are a bit much, but 1-2 minutes later you’re ok. Anything less for me would be too low. So E-race for me.
So Miko, when you’re ready to sale for something quieter, message me i’ll take it off your hands. Don’t wait too long, because back orders will be over soon?

For me it's not to loud. I want to add intake/down pipes and tune too

I’m considering buying the Eisenmann Race to Axle Back to add to my deleted reisnator set up, I lake my car in a garage so doubt will be loud enough to wake neighbors just my family, but curious about living with it and also are we talking good quality loud like Ferrari? Maserati ?
What happens to pops and crackles and down shifts?

You still have down pipes so it should be just perfect. It dose have a lot more pops crackles and you will love it.
FYI you won't have valves on race version.

I did add down pipes and tune. On tune I added extra burble and boy it's more then twice as much

I noticed I always drive with valves open! Which is sports plus

My car has intake and catalyst downpipe's and custom mid- pipes


I've had both the Eisenmann race exhaust and the performance exhaust.

The race is EXTREMELY LOUD. and very droney. veryyy droney.

I now have the performance. No drone at all, not crazy loud, but good enough.

Remember what I'm telling you is based off my car which is practically straight piped.

[mike@x-ph.com]

Race with stock downpipes , performance with catless

[Catchmeifyoucanf90]

Honestly, I'd go with performance and slap some downpipes on it. I'm scared to get downpipes now on my race for being too loud. When I had the performance it was too quite for me, just wished that I would do tried downpipes first

[cailas]

Anyone with Eisenmann Race, stock mid pipe, catless DP's?
