I can't answer regarding an Eisemann exhaust but I have heard the Dinan exhaust. Both as a clip and from behind a 650i with it. Its noticeably louder and deeper. I haven't heard it from inside the car.

I personnally wouldn't mind a bit more exhaust sound from my 550i but I really like the tone and gurgle of the stock exhaust. Plus the quietness is nice. The 550i is a bit more quiet crusing, light throttle, and full throttle than an '06 650i which was more quiet than an '02 M5 which I thought was a very quiet car.
