I reversed my decision and ended up going with the Eisenmann exhaust after hearing both Akrapovic and Eisenmann. The Akrapovic doesn't sound that much better to me. Not that it really matters, but the extra money I saved can go towards other things.

Part of my decision with the Akrapovic is seeing some of the cars in this thread. It just seems like the type of part you buy for no other reason than to show off how much money you spent. Same reason some people bought M5's I guess.

I am familiar with the brand though and I know they make quality components but they are still overpriced. And it's across the board... many are guilty. I just bought a $600 diffuser from Seibon that looks better (to me) than 3DDesign's $1800 version. Granted it doesn't fit (go figure - for $600) but they've already been in touch to make things right.
