If you would please give some feedback I would appreciate it in making my decision. Okay so the dealership that I bought my M5 is offering an Eisenmann Race w/x pipe for free. Catch is they take my stock since they can't certify the car. I went last night to check it out, started it, rev'd it, and even held it at about 3k to hear what coasting w/it would sound like. I'm gonna go back to drive it to get the ultimate feel but the reasonable side of me is saying it's way too loud. I've read some threads on m5board about it and I guess it comes down to personal taste. Although I would appreciate any feedback and thanks for your help.

I think the stock sound of the Emmy is excellent. No need for the Eisenmann.
But as you said, it's about personal taste.
You will have lots of fun with your Emmy, even if you leave it stock.
Congrats and welcome aboard.

Can you get the exhaust and ship it to me? I'll buy it for like $500. I know it doesn't fit on my car and I'd have to do some mods, but that's fine with me if I can get it for $500 or for free.

Do you have any clips where I can hear it? I haven't heard a Hamann yet. I went to test drive the eisenmann yesterday and man that thing is bad...!! A lot of people says that it makes the car sound like F1, which it does. Coasting is not that bad and even more tolerable when on the freeway. I was thinking about Hartge, anyone have it on their M5? Thanks for the warm welcomes..

thanks so much for the clips!!! the hamann, is similar to the hartge as far as noise levels. I think that's what I'm looking for more. suttle yet loud when you gas it, like it is w/the stock exhaust. if anyone here has a hartge, any feedback would be appreciated. eisenmann is really cool but not to sure if i want that much attention b/c that could go both ways. people getting annoyed or thinkin that it's really bomb.

thanks again to all!!!
