I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this but this setup looks like a horrible hack. It appears to not be functional at all and a cause for potential problems with heat and rattles. It almost looks like someone would be better off bolting on some faux tips to get the quad look.

OUCH! My poor car you're poking sooo much fun at it!

Hahah J/K its not anyones car here... althought there are a few people who got this... Its a picture I took directly off Eisenmann's install brochure. And you're right it does look funky... Another reason why I never got it.

I have to wonder about the sound of one side being muffled and the other side being unmuffled. Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

That would be my 1st question as well. But I've heard from quad owners that theirs doesn't sound much different from the regular dual eisenmann. Perhaps the 2nd pipe doesn't have much gas flowing through it, so the noise it adds is insignificant...

That was my original dilemna..

I like an aggresive sounding exhaust...

I drive a 525i with an I6 engine so the headers are 3-3 kinda thing and they go down to form 2 pipes.

So if i continue the 2 pipes but enlarged by maybe 1/4 of an inch all the way to the rear but split it in both directions and a muffler on each side, would there even be enough exhaust fumes from 3 cylinders to make any sound at all on each of the mufflers?

I might end up hearing nothing as not much gas flows thru each muffler right?

Thanks alot for the responses in advance...

There is enough gas for a quad setup. Think M Roadster or E46 M3. But with the restrictions on that add on pipe I don't think there will be much coming out of the new pipes. Just look at where that new pipe splits off into two.
