I am thinking of buying the Eisenmann Race (4x83mm) mufflers.
Are there any gains in bhp & torque figures? Do you recommend this exhaust? Should I install the SS X-pipe as well, or the resulting noise entering the cabin will be too loud?
Minimal gains in hp/torque. Don't do it for speed, but sound and looks are great. I have the 83mm Eisenmann Sport and they sound great. Definately do it. x-pipe will increase the sound volume.

which exhaust do you recommend for maximum gains? (with out going headers, race cats etc. i was under the impression that theyre all pretty much equal?)
I could sell you my Eisenmann Race back boxs if you wish? I have Supersprint headers, X pipe and the Eisenmann Race back box and its a touch too loud.
I think i would get the Sport with the system i have but cant afford it until i sell the Race ones...
Granted, nobody should expect gains from just mufflers.
Having said that, when I installed the B&B TriFlos on my car, I show some torque improvement in the lower RPM range. It may have been all in my head (which I'm sure it was), but for some reason, the car felt stronger/more torque below 3K rpm.
However, I am selling the B&B's for the Kelleners because I wanted a louder exhaust than the B&B's, which were too tame for me, even with the X-pipe. The Kelleners and X-pipe is going to be racious.
It depends how loud you want your car, I personally love my car to make a lot of noise, hence going with Kelleners to replace the B&B's.
EDIT: I do not recommend the Kelleners (ESPECIALLY IF YOU PLAN TO DO THE X-PIPE) unless you specifically want the loudest system possible for this car. This is probably the loudest route to go down.

Meist GT is the loud one.
and Touring sport is the quiet one.
If you are looking for mid-range one, it seems people are looking for,
you can get the Touring HP version.
Just throwing an option out there whomever interested.
also coming out with X-pipe as well.
we will post up some videos and photos shortly.
