Looking at the rest of the mods on his car, I doubt he will end up "ruining" them nor do I believe that itll end up sounding worse... Personally, im a fan of the sport over the race. Thats just me. But then again...

I'm not gonna lie, your exhaust sounds better than his....

Thats not ruining it, its making it better. I would of gotten the weltmiester, but its too quiet for me. Plus its still an Eisenmann.

It will probably sound the same.

I'm not gonna lie, Kev, my exhaust sounds and will look better than yours.

I bought it locally. Its 1/4" king starboard. Its a marine grade plastic.

I dont know how close you are to Burbank, but this place will cut out whatever shape you like. You just need to give them a stencil.

Haha the Nick I was talking to in the video isn't C24owner, it was a different nick that I had bought the Eisenmann Race off of!

Word. It's definitely going to look better than mine...but the sound, we'll have to see. I've been wanting to do a quad-tip exhaust for a while. I wanted those Eisenmann tips that were for sale so bad. To me, I'd rather have the original Eisenmann exhaust and tips because I know I'll get a good chunk of change for it when I part out.

I am thinking of having the eisenmann logo engraved or electroplated on the tips, but not sure I will do it.

I figure if I ever part out I will offer the eisenmann with the quad setup, or I can just re-weld the eisenmann tips back on.

hmm nick, I think that starboard would be sufficient. If you happen to drive close by to the city, let me know! I'll buy the rest off of you.

Got me quad tips put on today.

You can see the piping in the back, but I am going to spray paint that black. I'll have a sound clip either tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks. No pics of under the car.

This is what I had them do with my eisenmann. Except the pipe sits lower. If I didnt have the add-on valance, you would see the pipe.

damn thats an amazing idea, cuz without a rear valence...its hard to hide all that piping with the spare tire thing there...i guess now i dont have to think about a quad exhaust until i get the rest of the kit on.

Sorry for the crappy quality, I didnt realize I had the exposure turned down so much. I'll take some better video this week.

Its not to hard to hide it, but when the valance is installed its difficult to measure and bend the piping. I just told the guy do place the pipes behind the valance and I would paint it black.

They do stick out a little bit. I think its due to the curvature of the bumper.
