Ok if money is not a factor-which it is not with this purchase being the diff is only 400 or so dollars-what would you guys choose. I have listend to a lot of you tubes of eissenman race and it sounds fantastic, each one hand built and been around forever so that must give them some cred

Well that is good to know as I do not want something louder than eisen race! Tell me Does the sound give some high pitchness like F1 cars (obviously no where near the rpms) but that type of sound.

Also did you notice any loss of performance? I am happy to have no gain I just want the nice sound. RPI seems a bit loud for me actually and too new and too many people selling them.

Eisenmann race it is!

The only reason people are selling their RPi exhausts is becausee they are either turning in their lease or selling their car.

+1 No one is selling because they don't like the product.

more than one person in recent months have said they are selling because they are too loud for their family. He said he doesnt want anything too loud so based on reviews i would say the rpi ISNT for you.

They should be more patient. The exhaust gets a lot quieter after a while.
But if you want a quiet ride, I think you should look into Remus.
