any insight on the differences between the eisenmann race SUS with 76mm tips vs the one with 83mm tips?

are the differences just sound, or are they performance?

only difference is bigger or smaller. It doesn't affect anything with performance.

Do you have any pictures comparing the two on a car?

I have seen rear valence melting with 83's although some will say this is uncommon. I'd stick with the 76...

the pics are at the eisenmann exahust home page. i don't have any downloaded that i can post and i don't know the links off hand.

but now that i think of it, the 83 ones are a bit large. they almost take away the classiness of the car. what about the ACS figure 8s...any opinions?

I've got the ACS exhaust with the figure 8 and I really like it. I like the sound as well as anything aftermarket out there.

Have you looked at the Hartge? I wish I would have had a chance to hear that before I bought the ACS. The look is awesome with the pipes coming out the center of the valance:evil2 !
