Hey guys well i have AC front and back bumper, and the roof and trunk spoiler on there way to put on my car. My installer also sugested that i put Einhause(sorry not sure on the spelling) Exaust too he said it would add noise(make it sound like an m5) and some horse power to the car. After doing some research i found that the new exaust will not effect my horse power all that much, its mostly done for cosmetic purposes. The price that i found was 1300 plus the shop will charge me another 100 for the install. My question is should i go ahead with it? or should i save my money on something else?

Well the web site said there are two types of exast you can get sport and racing. I am just going by memory the racing one is 7% increase in horse power. Sport was some where in 5%. From what i understood the difference is the racing you get a double exast with 4 tips, while the sport one is a double.

there's some post on the board with info on the 545 exhaust, welding the exhaust valve and removing the resonators. Achieves a nice rumble w/o the cost of a new exhaust.

Makes sense to me.

Get the racing eisenmann's exhaust. There're some people in this forum who have installed their eisenmann's exhaust, you may take a look at their cars. One of them if i remember is choi000. His car looks really awesome!
