add to that "wrap tips in supportive material before packing into box". Fedex managed to beat up my tips! 
thank god they're single-wall tips- the muffler shop was able to straighten them out nicely with a special tool. whew!
Looks great, sounds great. There's a lovely snarl as you accelerate past 2500 that I particularly like and will be hearing plenty of.

I'm sorry to hear that Felix.Glad the shop was able to straighten them out. Let me know if you'd like to file a claim with FedEx.
Now what are you going to do with that B&B? You've got my address

the B&B is going up for sale @ $400 +ship. I still have the original B&B packaging (that's how I know about wrapping the tips.) drop me a PM if you want it.

no worries on the claim, the shop didn't charge me extra for straightening them so thankfully all is well.

Post pics and sound clips when you get a chance. Did you remove any of the resonators?
My E39 had an Eisenmann Race and I replaced the resonator with a magnaflow straight-thru and that sounded lovely, if a bit LOUD. that's why I'm kind of surprised at how quiet this eisenmann is. Must be the resonator's fault.

i'll get it nice and clean and take pics tomorrow. I didn't remove any of the resonators. I was toying around with removing the large center one, but nahhh. I'll leave it be, at least for now.

Just to test, we took the pipes off the cats, and -WOW- it's LOUD.
We were very surprised at how much the Eisenmann tones the sound down.
And to that, no droning either
Delje08 has the Eisenmann Race minus the center resonator. Here's a link,

When I had the Eisenmann on my car, I had removed all 3 resonators.
