95 540i exhaust options

[632 Regal]

shouldnt be a drone or howl if the tips exit the rear of the car, that problem comes when the exhaust stops before the rear and the sound echos off the ground back up to the bottom of the car.

does eisenan or however their spelt do one?
ive also been considering a exhaust for my 540 6sd. and our options are limited in oz to supersprint or custom exhaust. i would def go with resonator delete so long as there wasnt to much of an annoying drone in the car when cruising. i want tha nice grumble you hear from the big v8 fords or holdens cruising round

[95-540iLE]

I have fitted an Eisenmann rear box to my 540i/6 recently and I know a guy who fitted the Supersprint cat back system to his 540i/6 at about the same time.

The Eisenmann certainly gave mine far more presence than the Superspint - without any drone or annoying noise. At idle, there is a low (but quiet) growl and under load a sweet F1 type of V8 wail (but again, not loud - just nice).
I didn't want to go loud, just a bit more V8 presence and the Eisenmann certainly achieved this.

I took advice from the guys on E34.de first and they all recommended the Eisenmann.

Cheers

Is that Sport or Race?

Yes, I am an Aussie and you know me. David from Tasmania, whose Petrol Mica LE you looked at buying before you picked up #16 at a steal of a price.

I have a Racing Performance Eisenmann box with 70mm tips fitted to #62.

Sounds very sweet, but not overly loud. I did a lot of research - looked at Billy Boat, Supersprint, Remus and custom and ended up going with the Eisenmann as being able to best deliver what I was looking for - more V8 presence, without getting too load and without losing any performance (and maybe even gaining a few hp).

The guys on www.E34.de were very informative on this subject and the clear recommendation was an Eisenmann.

The reason why I didn't go custom, as queried by Big Kriss, is that the 'name' brands are all fully tested and designed to deliver the optimum results (you just need to know what results you want!!). Custom is a bit of a lottery.

So, when you have your Eisenmann fitted, you will be the 2nd E34 540i with one in the country.

Cost to me, including US$300 for freight from the US, was US$1124.00 It came straight through customs so that was the total cost - worked out to A$1538.34 on the credit card. Then about $80 to fit it!

I'm expecting to replace the exhaust on my 6 spd. car in the next several months. I've looked at supersprint & dinan as replacements, aside from just replacing with stock. Could some of you with non-OEM exhaust on your 540 chime in with recommendations & experiences. Mainly, I'll be replacing from aft of the downpipes/cats. Thanks CAM

it still looks and sounds great, and the fit is OEM or better. the car is only minimally louder than stock, but rattles the garage windows nicely. i'd do it again tomorrow.

I ended up buying the BB as of this afternoon, mainly after finding out the Dinan was not a full cat back system. Either way, the BB seems like a lot of exhaust for the money, and many people out there with them seem happy. I'm gonna have to get my but back out to the garage and reinstall the tranny in preparation for the exhaust showing up this weekend. I'll post any findings of interest when the car is reassembled and driven. CAM

Isn't the aTri-Flo just a simple bolt on deal that fits factory hangers etc. That's what I heard, anyone can do it....Or will need help from my bud at Meineke?

Christophe,
Post some pics of the project as you go along. That would be a great help farther down the line.
