GER_545SMG

Did you remove all the resonators (the two small ones and the one large) or??

Just the two small ones, not the pancake style

Decent sound - agree with your previous post, better than stock. I think you had this configuration prior to removing both, correct? I recall seeing them sitting on the ground showing the perforated core construction. In your last pic it looked like you welded the small ones back onto the flat resonator, even though it was removed?

How do you think it will work out given that I plan to make no further mods to the car (yet have the sport pkg with SMG)? Too much sound for a otherwise stock car? Tell me this, does it sound anything near the M5's on the Eisenhaus site? Just curious if it is that similar tone. Will probably put the other resonator back in (may test with it out first - might as well)

Thanks for your comments Choi - car looks great. Would consider quad tips, but have to keep things easily reversible.

Thanks! I think the exhaust will sound just right, even if you're not gonna do anymore to the car. It does sound a bit similar to the M5's on eisnhaus's site, but definitely not as loud. I did have both the small resonators and the big box removed and replaced with a straight pipe. If you were to do some motorwork like installing aftermarket headers, then your car will be screaming loud like a race car
As for sound clips, I'll try to get some posted, but I don't have a video camera to record it with, it got stolen a while back and never came around to buying a new one.

Actually, I just listened to the sounds clips of the M5 on Eisenhaus and they sound quite similar, but the M5 has a bit deeper and more drone like sound than the e60 with an eisenmann exhaust.

Hi Choi000,
Do you have Dynamic Drive on your car?
I read on the Eisenmann website that quad exhausts cannot be fitted on DD equipped cars.
Thanks.

Choi000-
With all the resonators removed (two small cylinders and the pancake one) do you get any "tinny" sound from the exhaust at upper RPM's? I'm getting that now with the resonators removed (all of them)....and the stock mufflers.

Whats Dynamic Drive? Is that the Sports button? and i didnt see that warning on Eisenmann's website...

Edit: its the active roll stabilization... http://www.bmw.com/generic/com/en/fascinat...drive.html?nl=1

Ok here it is... what do you guys think?

On the german site... it says by the quad exhaust

NOTE:
Final pipes in chromium plated execution.
Remachining of the tail apron is necessary!
Not suitably for vehicles with "dynamic drive"! ABE in preparation!

and the Sports Package has Dynamic Drive... BUT theres absolutely no warning on the US site... so I'm a little worried and confused...

Yea, I get the "tinny" sound at upper rpms, but it sounds deep in low rpms, and it's quite a bit louder.

As for the dynamic drive control. I don't feel the exhaust having any effects on my car, which has the sports package. My car still feels really stable with almost no body roll when I take turns really hard. But I also have H&R springs, so that might add to the stability of my ride.
