Which Exhaust to Get?

i'm contemplating either getting the Eisenmann Race 83mm dual round tips or Brabus muffler and remove my resonator. which one should i get, considering they're priced almost equally ($1000 vs 935, respectively, i think)?

anybody with eisenmann, does it drone at all? anybody even tried brabus? my only concern with brabus is that it's not C32-specific i think, and also that the tips are slightly angled. i don't expect any power from either, so my main question is - which one will sound better? eisenmann race or brabus+removed-resonator? thanks.

thanks for the reply -

how loud is the Brabus, as compared to the stock AMG one? is it noticable, cause the AMG one isn't very loud? it's just the muffler right, or did you buy the brabus resonators as well? i was thinking about removing the stock resonator with the brabus muffler. thanks. also, how much did you guys pay for it?

Eisenmann for sure...

I have the Eisenmann system on my CLK430 and the tones on it are ridiculous, it so nice and deep, this exhaust is very common with MB Tuners on the boards... Brabus is good, not sure if you recieve HP increases like the Eisenmann system, but if you do decide to go with Eisenmann, make sure you cop the race exhaust, which is the loudest and deepest of the line...

I have the Brabus exhaust on my E500-it quite loud but it has this deep growl like theres this monster that waiting to be unleashed It certainly makes me want to turn the engine off and on again I paid roughly about 2200euros for it through MB over here but I guess it's much more cheaper over there in the states-as regards to whether it is the resonator or muffler,I have no idea what those are all I know is that I paid for a Brabus exhaust system(as listed on the catalogue)
