Need advise on chosing between (3) aftermarket exhausts.......

Hello Guys,
I have narrowed down my selection of aftermarket exhaust to the following three brands:
1. DINAN exhaust
2. EISEMANN exhaust
3. KELLENERS exhaust
Here is what I plan on doing to the exhaust system. I'd like to installed the SUPERSPRINT RACING CATS & SUPERSPRINT X-PIPE, along with one of the three aftermarket exhausts.
Why Dinan, well, I currently have a 2000 540i with basic Dinan mods, including the Dinan exhaust and Im very pleased with the sound of this particular exhaust.
Why Kelleners, because I did a search on this board regarding the various types of exhausts with the thought of, wanting the loudest/meanest sounding aftermarket exhaust, and I think its Kelleners exhaust that has the deepest growl!. The problem is getting the kelleners exhaust from Germany. For me it just to complicated, plain & simple.
Why Eisemann, because I read and was told that Eisemann makes Kelleners exhaust under contract. So i figured if Kelleners sounds great, then Eisemann's own exhaust must also sound excellent. I went on Eisemann's web site and listenede to the sound clips and they sound good. Plus, Eisemann offers a 83mm size diameter exhaust tip, over the usual 76mm, which is standard with Dinan and with kelleners. The extra 7mm gives the exhaust tip an extra quarter of an inch in size, over the 76mm size. So, based the the above mentioned piping X-pipe and racing cats, which exhaust would be the best in your opinion and sound the best/loudest? Thank you very much for your input/reply. Much appreciated, as always.
Robert

I too am caught between Dinan, Eisenmann and Kelleners. I e-mailed Ralf Kelleners and he told me that he can send me his super-sound exhaust in the 83mm tip if I wanted. FYI.

Supersprint makes racing cats for our car?

Boston Rocket, now your confusing me...

I also contacted Kelleners via E-mail. When I got there message, they told me that they did not have a 83mm round tip size, and they went on to say that they thought the 83mm size was to big. Based on your description, it sounds like they told you the opposite, and that it is available in a 83mm size?????
If I knew they had a 83mm size that would make me really consider dealing with kelleners.

The best thing is to hear each one in person. All the video and audio in the world cannot compare to the real thing. I went to a BMW dealer that has a M5 with the Dinan extras installed. Once I heard the Dinan exhaust, that was it! I had to have it. (However, be warned there is a little resonance prior to getting into the high revs. But I think it is decreasing, or maybe I am just getting use to it. Good luck.

Cnesq, can you epend on your comment regarding....

the resonance part of your reply. Your said there was resonance prior to the revving of the engine. Do you mean that there is a rubble or growling sound while it is in idle mode?

What he means is that the exhaust resonates in the extreme low end when in gear and accelerating.

I went with Kelleners.....,

I'm very happy with it.
Kelleners sound the best IMO.
But it's your choice buddy.
