Exhaust...Custom vs. Eisenmann, AMG

What do you guys think amout a custom exhaust vs. Eisenmann or AMG?
I know the costs, but is it worth it to spend that extra buck.

I am looking for an exhaust set up that is noticeable loud but not too loud.

I know Bruce had a custom set up with a Magna Flow, can Bruce or anyone else elaborate on that type of a setup? Was the magna flow to loud? Does it have have that rumbling, deep sound? Does the sound cut out at high rpms?

Any info would be appreciated.

take out your resonator, it will be deep and rumbly, but not obnoxiously loud.

actually... Bruce has a straight pipe... no muffler at all... from cat back, i believe it is just a straight pipe... so, its freakin loud...

I think, a good mod would be to get the Eisenmann Race exhaust, and then modify the tips to have a fatter, rolled lip...

I love the sound of Eisenmann, but the tips are boring...

AMG exhaust is very very very mild in sound..

What do you mean by a fatter rolled lip and where would you get that done?

meaning... cut off the tips and get new tips that look better and weld it on... most muffler shops will have a variety of diff tips to choose from

once you see the eisenmann exhaust, you'll understand what i mean by "needing a fat rolled lip"

The tips look similar to M3 tips.

I know what the eisenmann looks like, I have one, but the tips are stainless steel and welded to the muffler. I thought it would look weird if I just cut off the tips and put new ones on. And the inside of the tips have some kind of baffle that could change the sound if taken off right?
