Just installed my MagnaFlow Xpipe with Eisenmann Race (4.6is) **Video update

After much thought and questions on the forum about whether or not I should put the X pipe to my Eisenmann Race mufflers, I decided to do it.

Driving impressions: There is absolutely NO DRONE (albeit there is a bit more rumble at idle at a light, but that to me is pleasant.) No noticeable gains or loss of power. At least for now as I've only driven it back home but I was so excited about the different character of the sound that my focus was elsewhere.
The sound is not intrusive at all. I was expecting pandemonium! A huge difference is after 5000rpm it hurts your ears if you're standing outside. I had the technicians rev it to 5k while i was behind and there was a huge audible difference there. Other than that... fantastic low end rumble which is how I mainly drive.

I hope the pic has attached as I'm not so good at this...

I'll try get a video too.


**** VIDEO: This was in fact the first start, car was cold and it was only revved to around 4000rpm. It'll give you an idea of the sound's character. More to come when I can get a proper video.

I wasn't able to upload the video through the forum so, the link is here : Video - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
