So I'm told eisenmann can be turned into a quad setup but I just don't see how it's possible given the room for pipes and the exhaust being so close to the bumper. How is this possibly? Can you put the exhaust where the stock resonator is and then run pipes? Will it fit there? I'm confused

Will it sound different? Will I lose hp?

I've tied a few diff setups so far and so far I like the eisenmann the best. I was just gonna put a dummy on the other side to fill my bumper. I'm awaiting my rpi I just got to see how that sounds and I was wondering what all my options were before I go back again and spend money at the performance shop. I've heard of losing power when going quad with rpi but again I'm not sure how to even physically get it done. Can someone please explain.

Thanks guys. Sorry if this has been posted before, I assure you I have tried to research this quite a bit.

you're learning....
but do the quads if aesthetics are more important to you.

Eurorev sells eisenmann like tips for the passengers side. These tips look just like eisenmann's quad setup for the non m's. There's even a faux can behind the tips. I think they are custom made.

Good to know.. I might get that and modify both to have the black oval tips I want. Wonder how that can be don't with those big ass pipes.

I have both of those and a sprint booster. Didn't make a difference. When I had my straight pipe quads the car felt sluggish. Noe that I have the eisenmann dual it's very peppy. It's night n day to me. I drive in sport mode all the time with the sb set to green. I felt it right away. I'd rather explain why the right tail isn't smoking to those who ask and drive my car like it was mean to be driven
