RPI!!+1
If you are honestly expecting to see gains from simply a section 3 swap, then you will be very disappointed. For me, if you are gonna get a section 3 there is no better one to get than the Eisenmann race. Yes it is more expensive than the RPi, but that is cause it is built to order from Germany...

An M5Board member that lives near me, has ASR on his M6. It's definitely a nice set-up. It's also rare, which makes it even nicer. I like ASR, but the wait time is insane for a system.

Not so sure about that. I think slapping the Eisemann name on there is a main reason they charge what they do. Fact is, their customers are willing to pay it, so no reason to reduce their price. Just like Sony does with their TV's.

Hi, C I totally agree. The RPI system must be nice but I havent heard it in person. I have heard a couple of different ones like, Eisenmann Race, Tubi, Dinan, Borla, And I have had the Meistersachft GT2 with sections 1 and 2 and now installing the ASR which I heard and sounded just exotic. I will say that the Meisterschaft GT2 sounded the best IMO but it is loud but its a good loud however he blipping the GT2 does is orgasmic I wasnt sold on the power so I switched over but I did race a gallardo and the new CTSV on the hwy when I had the GT2 and edged them both on different occasions so I dont know about how much power is actually lost but there is defenite loss of back pressure but I dont know how that effects performance because on books I was suppost to lose to those two cars.

If your looking for sound then GT2 all the way but if you want the best of both worlds then I would go with ASR but yes the wait is dreadful. The RPI must be good as seen in so many reviews but most of the die hard fans of RPI are locals to them so they can be biased at times but I am sure its a nice system and for the price, its a deal. I would pass on the Eissenman just because of the fact of the price for section 3 is stupid and one could find a Meisterschaft (souel, whatever) used for cheap. Also, Dinan sounds good but quite and suprisengly Borla is not to bad either. The Tubi was also loud and F1ish but I didnt get a good listen to the system.

You need to convince yourself which one you are serious about:

1. Sound only
2. Performance and Sound
3. Performance only.

It's a tough choice, I don't think there is a system out there that gives you all those 3 "perfectly".
