I want to purchase exhaust for my 2005 545i. But wondering which one I should get, Eisenmann Race Exhaust or DINAN Exhaust?
If go with Eisenmann Race Exhaust, should I go with regular 76mm tips or 83mm tips?
Any suggestion will help. Thank you.

In my opinion, I would go with Eisenmann exhaust over the Dinan. The finish of the Eisenmann is 100x better than Dinan. Eisenmann if I am not mistaken also has the valve the factory exhaust utilizes. Both seem very over priced for the HP gain. I am going with a custom quad setup this weekend.

I had the Dinan exhaust on my 545 and the tips got discolored pretty quickly. For the M5/M6 exhausts however, they created a new "cool tip" design that supposedly avoids the discoloration. That said, I did love the low rumble, throaty sound.

I went with Dinan's exhaust. In my opinion, the Eisenmann Race Exhaust is too loud and cheapens a BMW. You don't want to sound like some of these loud Hondas with small engines and loud exhausts... you have a BMW man!

The problem with DINAN is that there is too much fake stuff out there with this brand name. Its too common, somehow takes away the class factor.

LOL. Totaly disagree on that. Ive heard race exhaust on 530 and its a very nice deep throaty humm at low revs and during highway cruise it never bothers the cabin plus its not too loud outside either.
