Aftermarket exhaust for better sound....
Now that I'm changing wheels, tires and shocks I think I'd like a better sounding exhaust. i know it won't add anything in performance, but I'd like my car to at least sound fast.....without sounding ridiculous.
Do any of you have any experience with Eisenman or Remus? Or any other brands? What is the cost like and what about the sound? Where is a good online place to buy? Easy to get installed? etc..

E-Klasse, I like that Fox muffler. How did you fit a dual connecting pipe Fox muffler and mid muffler to a straight six engine with single pipe connectors?

if that resonator is removed then doesn't that shorten the whole assembly? do you have to have a tailpipe welded on to complete the full length of the exhaust? as you can see i don't know much about mufflers.
if this isn't a big deal i want to go ahead and get it done when my shocks are installed since i'm going to a muffler shop for the shock installation anyway.

See the black straight pipe on the left? That's what replaced the resonator or mid-muffler (never knew what the heck it was) - the straight pipe needs to be welded on......

2000 E430 Sport
Does anyone have any idea how loud my E430 would be if I removed the silencer(mid muffler) and installed an aftermarket muffler such as the Kleemann? I want my car to have an aggressive and throaty sound but not be obnoxious or illegal.

Its not loud enough for my taste but probably enough for most people - sporty, yet maintains the luxury car feel. no where near the extent of the porsche or ferrari set up. The engine definitely sounds more alive and convey the power within. the beauty is, there is no difference in sound from stock when idle i.e. dead quiet. it only growls when u step on it. hope this helps.

They have real nice quality exhausts,deeper at low RPM's not intrusive.Sounds great at hi revs,and I did notice response and mileage boost.

Would anybody happen to have a sounds clip of an aftermarket exhaust in an E320? I fear that it would sound more like a ricey import with the 6 cylinder. Can someone change my opinion?
