Guys looking for an exhaust and was reccomended eisenmann. Two questions willit fit a tech 1 also is it better to buy both the back box and the tailpipe.

Nice exhausts eisenmann but not cheap. I would buy both parts not sure how much extra horsepower maybe not alot, but they sound great. Look up on youtube and put in e30 eisenmann exhausts and you can see what they sound like. Their race version on a 320 and 325 sound brillant.

That for the advice I'm in no rush just going to do research regarding it being compatable for a tech 1.
Also my system is a 2piece no cat

Almost 700 quid for just a backbox? For that price you can easily get a custom made stainless steel full exhaust system made up...

At those prices, I'd be going to BMW and buying a genuine system. They sound great and will most likely last another 15-20yrs.... My '91 2 piece exhaust is still in use today!

Like I said I am in no rush, it's rare not many people have this exhaust. I was thinking of a scorpion but I am not hearing good reviews.

Not a fan of custom exhausts I will deffo look into a genuine systems.

I purchased the exhaust today £618 including delivery. 70m pipes went for the sport sound rather then the race.

Had a choice of 70 or 76 pipes

Had the choice of 70 mil 76mil and 84 mil. Went for the 70mil also had the choice of the pipes facing up or to the left. Went for the left look.

Did I make the right choice for the sport rather then the race sound?

Guys bit of advice, now I have the back box and the tail pipes I might aswel change the system up to the manifolds.
It's not looking great under there
Any ideas where I can get the relevant system, not looking to spend too much.

I have a 2 piece system no cat

Any pics of the backbox you've bought? Looking at the pics in the link above, its not obvious if its for a 2 or 3 piece system.
