The Eissman sounds great. Seriously, I think some cars have the drone and some cars don't... or the people who don't complain doesn't do any extensive highway driving. I have complained less since the arrival of the X3 as that's the car doing the highway runs now.

Actually I think it's the other way around - I don't believe some cars have the drone and some don't, I believe "drone" is subjective to every person and some have more tolerance to certain sounds than others. I can hear what everyone describes as "drone" at around 200-2500 rpms, however, I don't consider it to be drone given my background with some much louder exhausts.

Went for a drive today with my son, we had fun taking turns following and leading, maybe the last time before the snow sets in. Some pics from our drive.

So true. The 1M sounds perfect to me. Comming from a modded subaru , the difference is immeasurable. People who hear a drone most probably come from owning a extremely silent car imho.

Oh brother, give me a break! I don't think you have to pretend you enjoy a booming drone to prove your "hardcore".

Fellas we are going off on a tangent here and I can sense it's gonna get ugly. Let's not spoil the thread...I think the subject at hand is very subjective. I personally enjoy my car's exhaust note all over the powerband, whether cruising, accelerating, whatever, but that doesn't mean that some of you may find it "drony".

Are you still happy with the Eisenmann? I've looked at several options on the market and this seems to be the best quality for the money. Does anyone know if there are any Black Friday specials on this system??

I've got about 250 miles on the exhaust and I really like the sound and very happy with the purchase.

Hey first of all congrats with your car with Eisenmann Auspuffanlage
You've said that you have the "Racing" system but with middamping section or with the soundtube ( without secondary damping )? Thx
