As I recall, there's no marking to easily distinguish it but I think you can email Eisenman or IND the serial number on the muffler casing and they can tell.

What about the seller? Shouldn't they know?

it was purchased from a dealer who gave me the contact info for the previous owner but the number is no longer in service so they didn't know which it was when I asked.

Race is much louder, from what I've heard at some previous Meets. But then again, you have nothing to compare it to.

Just curious, but what color and year is your M5? There's a good chance I know who the owner might be. Oh, and CONGRATS!!!!

I know of a few guys in the NYC/LI area that recently sold their M5's and most had the Eisenmann exhausts. One was black, one was white and one was interlagos blue. bonehead parted out his set-up on his silverstone, so it can't be his car.

It's pretty close to the 530 power, no?
