Best/Cheapest Place to buy an Eisenmann exhaust?

I really want to get an Eisenmann exhaust, but no one is selling any used ones. I'm considering buying new, but I need to find the cheapest price. So far the best I've gotten is $1149 from TAG Motorsports. Google just takes me to all the Youtube videos and then the other sites I find don't list any prices or only sell BMW parts. Can anyone help out with this?

ouch... classifieds? i have seen my superSprint online for over $900 and it really doesn't do much if i would have known i would have gotten a magnaflow and moved on to next mod.

btw i only payed 300 for mine (came up on a sick deal)

keep looking arround - dont pay that much unless ur seriously ballin.

ps. not everyone lists their products online... but they might be able to get it for you if you call.

Here's my 2004 C240 wagon with Kleemann Stainless W203 specific muffler.Obviously the trapezoid tip model. Muffler only. Stock resonator and cats. Not sure if i like the trapezoid or not. Was really on the fence when i bought it (from a member on this board) It is growing on me, but at times/certain angles it looks too big for the car IMO. I may remove the tip and have a dual stainless tip welded on. If so, I will sell the Trapezoid tip in the classifieds.

The sound is great. Idling/revving in the driveway do not do it justice. Sounds great under throttle and load. I will post up a sound clip as soon as i get it up on YouTube. Cheers, Greg

So, here's a mediocre sound clip of the Kleemann. I will have to record another one under throttle/accelaration and post it up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuSVCj4naM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqLWt-Nbl1Y

and what it suppose to sound like. It does sound like this before the #4 cylinder issue. Now I don't know what went wrong after everything was reinstalled. my gut feeling is telling me the primary cat is ****ed.

Sounds very healthy. Bet it sounds really good under throttle/kick down. Hope you get the "howl" figured out.

if you are looking for a real sport stainless steel exhaust which provides increased performance and wonderful sound go for Twister ! i've installed 60mm pipe, middle barrel, final barrel and muffler ( LF115-210) , ALL stainless steel for 400 euro ! the result is outstanding !

I got my Remus exhaust in Friday and installed it Saturday, and let me tell you it wasn't a cake walk! Since no one really makes an exhaust for the M272 engine, the closest thing you can get is for the C320. Apparently, the exhaust on the older V6s is a little smaller than the newer ones. The Remus muffler was the exact same size as my stock pipe, so obviously it wouldn't just slip over and clamp on. If you're getting your's welded, this probably isn't an issue. So right now I've got the two pipes butted together with a short 2.75" ID pipe clamped on there, this isn't ideal since there's a hard edge for the exhaust gases to hit. I need to find a small pipe that is 2.75" ID on one side and OD on the other side. Overall, I'm happy with the look (even though I didn't want square tips) and I'm really happy with the sound. I originally wanted an Eisenmann, but I couldn't find a used one and I couldn't bring myself to pay $1200 for a new one (and then on top of that have to wait a month for it to be made and shipped in). Since no one has any video clips of this exhaust, I made a few videos to help other people decide. The first clip is a cold start revving the engine and the second video is a drive inside the car.

I will take some still pictures of the exhaust later and post them.
also had my exhaust whistle fixed.

Pics of my newly installed magnaflow muffler. Had to do some modifications to the muffler to make it fit, turned out pretty good, sounds great very un-ricer like as I had hoped and is a pretty deep sound. Did not do a resonator delete. No cutting of the bumper was also required so that made me glad too. Will hopefully get around to adding some sound/vid clips. The muffler is the 14815

Did not have to cut the bumper at all actually. Only had to do some modifcation to the actual muffler since the muffler was like 14'' and the tips were also very long and the coupe has literally no space back there, i see why now most people go with the legit fit of the remus or eisenmann. But I am very happy with how it turned out and especially how it sounds.

I installed a Kleemann Muffler about a month ago. Love the sound, but the trapezoid tip did not look right on the wagon. So, i ended up cutting the trapezoid off, and having a dual stainless tip added instead. here's a few pics.

The tip is a magnaflow, so i guess it now a have Frankenmuffler known as a Kleema-Flow??
BTW, the Kleemann tip is for sale here: https://mbworld.org/forums/engine-pe...haust-tip.html
