I must admit I was getting a little jaded after 4 months and 3,500 miles with my M3. The newness was wearing off. I must say, this Eisenmann exhaust has changed that--it's what should have come from the factory! The sound level and tone is PERFECT, IMO. It's deeper and throatier, but not at all obnoxious or droning. Unfortunately it may impact my fuel mileage, since I now like to hear the car rev more; but, even at lower revs it sounds great!

List price is $2,839. Nate at IND (distributor for Midwest & West) can direct you to retailers. Construction & fit seem first rate. Tip size: 76mm stock, 83 mm Eisenmann (20 % larger in area). Weight: 43.7# stock; 46.3# Eisenmann.

Pacific Motorsports in Portland did the installation. They welded the pipes to the unit reather than using the supplied clamps because they thought the clamps resulted in a little leakage.

I'm in love with my new again car!

(White balance on these first couple shots is screwed up):

The new unit weighs more? :confused

How does this compare to the Eisenmann Race for the M3?

because the race version sounds simply amazing.

That's what I measured. But, a couple pounds is not significant. Would be nice to have weight savings, but the sound and looks are worth it, IMO. Race version is probably a couple pounds lighter.

If you can live with it on a daily basis, that's great. The Sport is a more subdued version. My car is a daily driver, and I don't want a racous in-your-face exhaust for that use. To me, the Sport is perfect, like the Larini Club Sport was on my E46.

I think there are vids of both here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114331

Right... a couple pounds isn't really a big deal. I see you got the street version, that's probably why. Street version probably has more packing... I'd probably go that route too. The loud race exhausts are fun, but really take a toll on daily driving and long trips. Having a conversation at highway speeds was difficult... but it was fun when you were on it.

The exhaust on the original M3 Concept appeared to have a vacuum-operated valve in the exhaust that could provide the ideal of quiet cruising and louder when used in anger:
