Great! So, how does it sound? Any difference in acceleration? I was wondering why 330 has different exhaust than 325? Could it be specifically done to lower torque on 325? Well, you may be able to tell now.

Since it’s not my car and I could sound biased I will wait for Joe to chime in and give you guys is opinion on the Eisenmann exhaust.

The E90 330 comes stock with a valve and the 325 do not.

Bimmer325 · 05-17-2006, 09:50 AM

cut the stock exhaust?

just4kickz · 05-17-2006, 10:03 AM

dont wanna sound stupid... but is this just the muffler? like its not a full exhaust right? so all it is is sound? and maybe a little more power to the wheels?

Hunter399 · 05-17-2006, 10:05 AM

Nice, now you just have to get the catback and then you are SET!

txusa03 · 05-17-2006, 10:17 AM

Nice. Are you require to return your old muffler to Eisenmann (an an exchange in the purchasing process)?

No Eisenmann only uses "new" 304 stainless steel.

Hula-Hula · 05-17-2006, 01:24 PM

how much do you pay for that? It looks fantastic!

Sorry I've taken so long to get in here.....

First of all let me say thank you to Ryan, it was great meeting you, and I look forward to seeing you again ( this suday, WCBMW autox 1?

Ryan's personal attention through the entire process, and overall knowledge has been perfect.
I couldn't have possibly dealt with a nicer, down to earth, honest, fellow BMW enthusiast at all.

THE SOUND..........
I'll try and simplify how I feel............this exhaust does bring out some emotion and helps remind you that you're driving the benchmark in sport sedan/wagons.
Well,,,,, I feel this Eisennman "race" style exhaust is going to cost me a small fortune in wasted gasoline!
I love how it sounds.
It, more than anything else, completes my car. It was quite a drastic change going from my E46 to the E91 because the E91 is so much quieter. The intake is quieter, the exhaust WAS quieter.
Now I feel like my car "sounds" like it feels to drive.
I feel like "I'm back in action", if that make any sense.
I know it's not scientifically true, but I swear I could pass a polygraph test stating that my car feels faster now. It really does. Someone could argue that's not true by numbers on paper, BUT it does feel faster.
The sound is deep, and "throaty".
At highway speeds with the CC on at 75-mph, I haven't noticed any substantial increase in noise, or problem with voice commands.
At highway speeds the "performance" sound doesn't really become apparent unless you're on the throttle, and when you do floor it you'll know it's there with a beautiful deep sound.
Many smiles.....
I was slightly concerned about being too loud, or sounding like some toyota or honda with a huge muffler, BUT that is far from the case.
The ricer big exhaust doesn't sound like this at all.
It sounds more like a M5.
There's no doubt it's louder than OEM, but not too loud IMO.
I'm glad I didn't get the "sport" exhaust for sure, and more than likely will get the cat-back system in the near future.( working on buying a R1200C first

)
I took some "before" Eisennman video, and if we didn't have major thunderstorm with golf-ball sized hail today I would have had the after video done.
Weather permitting I will get it done tomorrow.
I'll post some some vids of the car in action with the camera mounted on the back of my car here.
Thanks again Ryan, you're the man!!!! :rocks:

Ryan.M · 05-18-2006, 10:58 AM

Thanks for the kind words Joe

Lost Rider · 05-18-2006, 11:06 AM

No problem, going to work on video now........

shragon · 05-18-2006, 11:37 AM

niiice!

ACZakka325i · 11-30-2006, 07:13 PM

Wow, this muffler looks absolutley fantastic. Are there any cheaper alternatives with a negligable effect on performance and sound.

This system looks so nice, i think it might justify the extra cost.

Does the race exhaust pass emisions?!?!?!

///M3NACE · 11-30-2006, 07:36 PM

i live in chicago also..downers grove area you should come 2 the euroteknik meets or meet up...we can compare our exhausts..ikon vs eismann
