The Renntech exhaust is a more aggressive unit compare to eisenmann and supersprint exhaust systems.
Here's the data from EuroElites extensive testing on dynos.
Performance gain: 2~3 hp
Weight loss: 2 lbs each side
No resonance at high speeds, and very subtle on cruising speeds.
Retail price: $3,495

I had my local guy do a custom exhaust for me. He did a full catback with 3" stainless through an X Pipe, then through a pair of small high-flow borlas, and out dual tips (Didn't have to cut anything, they fit perfect). When I picked my car up, I got mad cuz it was still so DAM quiet. Without even taking the car home, I had him Remove the cats, and straight pipe it off the turbo. The cats are like dual 500-cell cats, and rob you of volume and flow. I paid barely a grand for EVERYTHING, and I couldn't be happier. It had a nice low rumble at idle, although not THAT loud as a V8 or non-turbo car, and at speed it roars very nicely, as I think a luxury European sports car should. Also, not that the cats are gone, I can REALLY hear my turbos spooling when I get on it, especially a cold night.
If I wanted to go any louder, I would remove the x-pipe, then maybe the Borlas, although they do very little to the sound I imagine. I'll try to get some pics for you if you want em.
