E-race section 3 OR Rpi GT/GTS Full sections

Just a quick poll. Am curious to see what others think.

Oh please focus more on tone and "scream" and factor out the sound level and hp gain/loss. Thanks!

E Race without any doubt.

And I would suggest the Evolve RS headers with 100 cell racing cats for a nice power upgrade. Keep your secondary cats and resonators.

You guys just don't pay attention to OP's posts do you?

Dear guitaplayer, you want the awe factor of your V10 scream? Eisenmann Race is it! I highly suggest a miesterchaft sections 2 and 1 for that extra scream.

E-Race for me is by far the nicest sounding section 3 exhaust however if you want performance then i'd go for a full RPi GT exhaust for sure.

As you already have the GTS version on your car you should try just switching out section one and see how you like the GT version. I had if for a month and it was a screamer.....just too loud for me but I also had the headers like you have which may have amplified the sound a tad.

^^^ This


I drove both setups, each one for over a year and loved them both. The RPi was awesome, but that is all I knew since it was what I tried first. A year later I tried the E-Race and the sound was much better...If I had to choose the E-Race would be my choice.

Sorry guys, been pretty tight up with work.

Ahmed is right in saying that I am only considering the soundquality/tone/fullness/etc of the exhaust but still, I appreciate all your inputs. Ever since I got my beast, the E-race was my dream exhaust but reviews portrayed it to be too loud. Thus, I settled with the mellower GTS which was awesome! Especially with the power gain to it! (I needed my girlfriend to drive the car with me standing by the road to actually hear how awesome it sounds. I did this 6 months into having the exhaust. You guys should try it if you have not done so. The exhaust sounds nothing like what you hear in cabin)

However, the exhaust got quieter and quieter as it settled in. It couldn't fuel my hunger for "the scream". Hence, I was thinking of switching out the GTS with the E-race and see how it goes. Thing is that, like everyone else, there are times I want to the car to make its presence known and there are times I'd rather a peaceful drive. I know I'm not going to get that unless I switch back to stock and install exhaust cutouts but why would I do that. I figured I might as well play around a bit.
