Question for those with an Eisenmann race? Why's it so quiet?
Yesterday, I installed a brand new Eisenmann Race exhaust on my 208 55. however, I was very disapointed in the sound i got from it. I was expecting it to be super loud, like from the clips ive heard online and also because I have one on my BMW M and its very loud. All the other race systems ive heard on 55k's and 63 AMGs are loud. Just wanted some input from other Eisenmann race owners. it is louder than the stock AMG, but not that much louder, is this normal? did they send me a sport instead of a race? I had to wait 6 fawking weeks for this and I am kind of disapointed. Before I contact IND, i just wanted some input from others. I was expecting it to rumble, but it doesnt and im kind of pissed that I just dropped all this $ for a brand new exhaust and it doesnt sound like how i expected it to. I already have my resonator removed so that cant be the issue. I know exhaust tend to get a little louder after break in but it cant be by that much. any and all feedback will be appreciated, thx.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
after the burn it period, it will get a few decibels louder..loud enough for you to notice the diffrence.
If you wanted loud, you should have just gotten 2 E-dumps and go on your merry way. ..
most of us remove the secondary cats and resonator, but the drone tends to get annoying after a bit...
imho, i would throw the resonator back in, and replace your secondary cats with testpipes.

yeah, without the resonator it is MUCH louder. pretty sick in my opinion! If I were you, I'd kill the resonator. If that's too loud, put a smaller resonator in its place. The resonator on the 55 is like 3 ft long!
