Wich one would be better for an E39 M5?
Supersprint or Eisenmann?
Ik know supersprint have complete exhaust from front of the car tor rear...
I don't know if Eisenmann did this to.
Somebody experience with both exhausts??

SuperSprint!!! I beleive because of the look of the rounded tips and the sound of the low growl, and the fact it does not sound like a Mustang.

I don't beleive the Eisenmann does the complete systems only the back boxes.

Supersprint for the Headers and CNS for the cat-back exhaust FTW!

Exhausts and the way they sound is highly subjective, and most youtube clips don't do them any justice, nor is the sound when revved at stationary representative of that when under load, so best thing would be to hear them in person. As you are in Belgium, stop by at the next meet at Frits' place where you can hear both Eisenmann (e.g. mine and MarkQC) and Supersprint (Frits).

I am very happy with mine (Sport), no drone at all and civilized on the motorway when driving normally and just that bit more aggressive when on it that makes it worth it. If you want more, then Eisenmann Race, X-pipe, race cats and headers will all individually add to the sound level and aggression.

Absolutely true. My father recorded me on video driving a way nice and easy and under hard acceleration a few times. I watched the videos and I was pleased. I then let him drive it and I'd follow along in the truck (I was curious to hear the difference between real life and the video) and I was blown away. I have Hayward&Scott, though.

And the under load bit is also true. Here's an experiment. When in 2nd, , bring it up to 3k rpms, and accelerate. When it goes past 4500, put your foot down on the clutch pedal and you'll clearly hear the difference between an engine under load an an engine revving freely.
