So picked up my car tonight after 6 weeks without driving it. It's a rocket and I was driving a 991.2 GTS and it makes that car feel slow.


Anyways the exhaust fit and finish is amazing. I got the performance version with carbon fiber tips. I also have the M sport exhaust with a custom C pipe resonator delete. The exhaust sounds great from outside. Better than my 2018 E63s. From the inside the car is a vault. Louder and deeper in efficient mode but in sport and sport plus just a little louder than just the M sport with the X pipe.

However open the moonroof ( or window for carbon roofs ) and you can hear how great of a sound it makes.

Like I mentioned in a previous post this Eisenmann is 5 lbs heavier than stock setup.

As for the springs they lowered the car for me the perfect amount. I am not a fan of the slammed look so the look is there.

However to me I still need time in the car to make a decision in the ride quality. It's stiff and bouncy in all settings. One of the amazing things about the car is the ride quality with such great handling however this really stiffens up the suspension. The car does turn in better and a lot less roll as other have mentioned.

I just need a few days with the car to decide if I will keep the springs or not.

I'll post some sound clips tomorrow but here are some images

Forget what I said about ride quality. My body shop had set the tire pressure at 45 psi all around!

Brought it back down this am to 32 front and 33 rear and all is great. Comfort and sport are like stock and sport plus as others have mentioned is better than stock with less bounce and roll.

Comp resonator vs X pipe (no resonator) vs Eisenmann, which change made the most difference in sound ? Going to the X pipe over the Comp Resonator or going to the Eisenmann over the Factory rear mufflers ?

the removal of these three hideous metal monstrosities and just a small muffler probably makes the biggest deal:

Eisenmann no question however the moonroof open on my car allows me to hear it a lot better. Inside the car the difference is not massive compared to theM sport with X pipe

Thanks Quickburn - are those H&R Springs? Have you also installed spacers on your car?

Yeah those are the HR sport springs for the F90 M5. I had spacers but took them off and will reinstall once I decide what sizes to go with

thanks - just saw the title of the thread, so sorry for the stupid question. Appreciate your thoughts and your car looks fantastic! I think I will pull the trigger on these.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on spacers. From memory you had some pretty aggressive ones previously? Did you think these were too wide?

Yeah I'm loving the look of this car and the exhaust completed the only thing this car was missing.

I had 12mm spacers but one of them got damaged so pulled them all off.
