My Ride: '05 545i, silver gray, black leather with anthracite maple wood, sport package, premium sound, navigation, cold weather package, electric rear sunshade, folding rear seat, satellite radio prep, PIAA 4150K fogs, red rear reflectors, hardwired Valentine One
Nice clips--thanks for sharing.
I listened first to the outside clip, and the Eisenmann is clearly louder than the very quiet stock exhaust, but doesn't seem obnoxiously loud.
What surprised me was how on the inside clip, the stock exhaust actually sounded pretty nice, and the Eisenmann didn't sound that much different.
Obviously recordings aren't like being live. CRRobert--are my impressions in line with the sounds live?

Wow, I feel a lot better now that I heard those as I was worried about the inside noise and wife complaining. I think most of what your hear stock is actually engine noise from my experience and could not hear the exhaust at all on mine.
Outside sounds nice and definitely more SPORT sound that outrageous RACE sound. Maybe they need to rename them ?
Thanks again for the sound clips

Excellent, Thanks.!
Now I'm wondering if there's any difference with the double cannister and valve.
Good job though.

Ok I drove up to Vegas yesterday, and I must say that I hate my exhaust. Is there anyway to get a Ferrari 360 Modena Spider exhaust on my car 
. OH MY F'ing GOD, did it sound sweet. Tried to follow it, then he would put the hammer down, and well only thanks to traffic did I get a few more times to listen, but wow.
In all seriousness though, It sounds like the muffler has seasoned in, and gotten a little louder, just about right. It definately is not intruisive into the car. I will try to get a another sound clip from inside the car, as I may have the setting on the camcorder microphone different between the two clips. It definately sounds better on the inside now though.
andy545, there may be very minimal sound change with the dual canister.
Off to a Track day at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Just posted a lap of the road course track in This Thread.
Need to work a little to get a better quality with smaller file size, and get the wind noise out. Windows required to be down.
