Nice exterior sound, but these mufflers really need adjustable mounting brackets. Their exhaust tips on the passenger side sit a good half an inch or more below the corresponding location of the factory tips and they just don't look right because the passenger side hangs noticeably lower than the driver's side. You can even see the problem in the photo posted by Eisenmann. The right tips are about 1/2" lower than the left side tips. Look at the gap between the top of the tips and the bottom of the rear bumper apron.
Mine fit the same way on an otherwise stock exhaust system. A simple adjustable mounting bracket would let the tips be aligned correctly, but their mount is simply a non-adjustable bent steel rod that slides into the rubber hanger. When you drop nearly $3K on exhaust, it ought to fit right without the need for modification. Between the misalignment of the tips and the constant drone in the cabin (race version with factory exhaust intact), it was an easy decision to sell them.

In short, I would never spend that much money on an item that doesn't help my car's performance.

I bought and Eisenmann, and before I did I asked advice here and nearly bought the "race" but then I got a few PM'S from members here advising not to get the "race" because it is simply to loud.
I agree with Komp55 about the alignment issue, it seems slightly off on one side, I have adjusted mine and its fine and I have no issues with that at all.
I have said this on another post and I will say it again, if you plan on doing exhaust mods like headers and cat delete get the "sport" (leave resonator in) you will not be disappointed, if you decide to stay stock then maybe get the "race" I cant see it drone with stock headers cats and resonator in place.
I get 0 drone without cats and on Kleemann headers, the noise in the cabin is perfect. On my car this exhaust is fantastic and I could not be happier.
