judec · 11-19-2007, 03:53 AM

Get the Harman motive.

No.... get the RD sport.

No.... get the Harman motive.

No.... get the RD sport.

No, wait....

which exhaust's sound do U like more?

seven_227 · 11-19-2007, 10:22 AM

RD sport costs $800 more than the Harmanmotive.
I think the RD sounds nicer, just my opinion.
I went with AA.

RRGOO7 · 11-19-2007, 11:20 AM

im in the same boat...i LOVE eisermann but the price is insane.....AA is too bland for me

BoostedBMW · 11-19-2007, 12:10 PM

In terms of sound they both have a different tone, and in terms of volume they are much different. The RD Sport is a lot more subtle than the Harman Motive exhaust. Only you can decide which one is better for what you prefer. Personally, I think that the RD has a really nice note, but its just too quiet for me.

lyjw88 · 11-19-2007, 12:43 PM

Yea RD is too quiet for me too

montreal_bimmer · 11-19-2007, 02:23 PM

I believe the RE Ikon is only available at the moment for non 335 models.

Neema · 11-19-2007, 04:23 PM

my milltek sport is too quiet too and comes with resonators though it deletes the scondary cats. I wonder if this will come in handy if i were to get a set of cat less down pipes

rodgerdodger · 11-19-2007, 04:53 PM

they both hae there own unique sound true. and i also have to consider cost. i like em both. this is gonna be tough

Honestly, you get what you pay for. Kinda like when buying a BMW vs. a Honda. The Eisenmann exhaust line is made in Germany and the quality is proven. Some of the other available systems are also of great quality while others are outsourced to cut costs and that's not something that interests me.

You probably knew that though.

Can't 100% agree with you on this sorry. Many members with the Eisenmann Race has complained about droning. So, even if it's coated with gold it doesn't help take the drone away

Well, this was kinda disrespectfull to the other vendors/brands. There are other brands made in Germany, too. So U coud compare them like a BMW to MB? Also there is SuperSprint in Italy, with proven quality. Now how would U compare the Eisenmann exhausts to them? Like a BMW to Lamborghini? Not to mention the other brands, made in US or wherever. Proven on the street, rally, autox. Using the same stainless steel, mandrel bent, perfect welds, quality control, making exhausts for years. Would U still compare them to Hondas just because they are not made in Germany? Or U compared their price tag?

PS: I know the quoted msg was commenting AA, but THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO! S/o needs a lesson in marketing.

The RDSport has a nice deep rich sound. Very classy.

I in no way was pointing the finger at any other company at all. I was just explaining why the Eisenmann was so much more expensive than other systems. It's obvious that a system made in a country that has a much higher labor/overhead rate would cost more than a system that is outsourced to say China. I think my post was analized a bit more than I intended.

seven_227 · 11-20-2007, 09:52 PM

Thats true, take for example a cat-back system made for the 335i that is made in Japan will cost you about $7200, and I thought SS is expensive

seven_227 · 11-20-2007, 09:55 PM

I recommend the RennArt, and for $995 it's a bargain.

rodgerdodger · 11-21-2007, 05:28 PM

wow rennart doesnt sound that bad!

seven_227 · 11-22-2007, 12:16 AM

Just look at the quality of those welds

BoostedBMW · 11-22-2007, 09:35 AM

I think for anyone looking for a more subtle sound with an exhaust that is on the quiet side, the RennArt is a REALLY good deal right now.

For me, is a little too quiet, but it has a tone that sounds a lot like supersprint IMO.

IND-Distribution · 11-22-2007, 10:04 AM

RennArt is about 15 minutes from my shop. Good guys over there.
