Exhaust for E55
Does anyone have any sound or video clips of different exhausts that are available for the E55. I want to change mine but I am not sure what to expect from the different vendors.
Thanks in advance,

If someone will help me record my exhaust I will happily put it on this forum. FYI I have a borla race muffler and have taken out the resonators. I do notice a lil loss of torque down low but it does feel a lil harder up top. Either way I absolutely love the sound. It also resonates a lil inside the car but I don't care. But I'm sure other who aren't all into cars would be wonderin why would you do this to a benz

We just installed the Eisemann race system on a client's E55 last month. I do not have any sound clips of it yet, but may be able to get some in the coming weeks. The system provided a light burble at idle and a nice deep underlying tone on throttle. Not too loud, but enough to set off some car alarms in car parks when prodded. Fitment was a little bit odd as the Eisemann system comes with 2.5 inch inlets that need to be mated up to the 3 inch stock exhaust (eisemann says this does not hurt power, but actually imprives it by providing more backpressure?).
Here is a picture of the Eisemann on the vehicle. Hope this helps you out a bit...

3k for the cat-back eisenmann "race" exhaust system! That is mad expensive. you might as well go with evosports headers, like i did. Haven't come yet, but on other cars that i have installed aftermarket headers, i have gained significant power especially if your car has forced induction, and the sound is a little meaner, engine sounds a lot better.

hey BenzoBoi, do u have any pics of your wald kit? just wondering if u took off ur amg front bumper and replaced it with a normal e-class bumper and added the wald bottom lip add-on?
i've been looking into a new front bumper, but don't know if i would want to replace my amg bumper. i really like it.
Do u know if there are any bottom lip add-ons for the amg bumpers?

This is not the "race program" system. To my knowledge Eisenmann only offers the twin mufflers from the resonators back. Originally we were planning to replace everything from the cat back, but the owner did not what too loud of a system since he has to drive clients in the car. Hope this helps clarify.

I might be interested in a system also.

To the best of my knowledge I think Carlsson has a lip that adds onto the AMG bumper but don't quote me on that. Can anyone else confirm this? I knoe they have one for the SL...so I'm assuming they have one for us...

Either way Eisenmann stuff comes with a hefty price whether it is the race program or not. They sound really awesome but don't think I can justify spending that much money on an exhaust. Hahaha I wasn't baller enough to afford an Eisenmann so I jus did my own lil thing. Some of the people have heard my exhaust and I would say it's quite "noticeable"

I'd like a little clarification on that point also.

But, on the E55 where the car makes 450+ RWTQ at 2,500RPM I would think you would want the least restrictive exhaust possible??

This is without considering velocity, scavenging etc.
