Eisemann Sport Vs Akra Exhaust

Sorry to bother you guys with another comparision thread.

But i would greatly aprreciate if you could provide your insights on these exhausts.

Did any of you considered these two exhausts?

I just want to good engine note, not trying to be loud or trying to make my presence known.

Lots of threads on this. Search is your friend.

Both are subtle. Akra very subtle change from stock until really on it...then has a more unique (titanium) and exotic note.

E Sport is more throaty and deeper note.

Personally, my preference is the E Sport. Both are too quiet for me, but certainly are worth the upgrade from stock noise.

Good luck

Thanks for the response. I did see a lot of threads differentiating the exhausts but i want to pick the brains of the guys who specifically considered these two (Assuming they have same level of expectations as mine)

As of now I am inclined to Sport.. better price ... easy installation...

Note: If you don't want any drone, either one would be fine.

I had E-Race before and there is drone noise in the cruising range level (1500-1900 rpm). It was not acceptable to me so I had to take them off.

Didn't you order a Sport performance?

I think drone levels come down to personal preference. I had a good client hear BarryB's Eisenmann Race level in person and he loved it. He now wishes he went with that system over the Akra.

Yes, I did. You remembered me ?

I am from Toronto, Canada and I ordered thru Sports Car boutique, Ilker, owner of the shop told me you guys screwed up the order from the start and in fact, it was him all along screwed up my order and lied to me all along. You stepped in and offered to swap mine (E-Race to E-sport) on your goodwill gesture and I am only responsible for shipping charges. In the end, I felt too much trouble and I basically swallowed the loss $2500 and had since sold my M5.

Too bad you don't have anything going on with Porsche parts. I would loved to have dealt with your company as your service is well known to be first class.

I've the E-Sport rear-section and zero drone but our cars' cabin insulation is so good that at times, I need to lower windows to really enjoy the exhaust music. WOT is noticeably louder than stock. It has a deeper/different tone vis-a-vis stock.. I really like it.
