i would recommend you to start the car once the resonator was cut, listen to the sound of it. It sounds a bit raspy. Or maybe you can even get it clamped with "quality" exhaust clamps, so to make it easily reversible. Otherwise, if you weld the pipe on, u will have to cut it again to have the stock muffler back on. Even better, get a new flange and do it professionally.

V-band turbo clamps for the win.

hey guys me and my friend also oderd the eisenamnn straight pipe and just got it 2DAY ...he went to go install it at some shop and they told him it doesnt fit, so we both called eisenamnn and we told them what they said ... .eisenamann told us for the stock c320k you have to cut the resanator or ((((something he sais))))and weld it and for me he said> Since i have the eisenamann exahust system on my c230k i dont need any welding or cuting it bolts right on cuz i have the eisenamnn exaust

C320k sounds pretty good....

i'm def not gonna put the stock resonator on, but you got your point, what if i do want to put it back on, so...some nice nice clamps would do fine...? the straight pipe is like...a little less than 1/4" smaller than the stock pipe so i might need to get an adaptor?

Hey guys i got my eisenmann straight pipe install 2day ago, it sounds really Nice,mean & aggressive. here are some pic for those who are interested. and sound clips of Esienmann 2X83mm racing + Eisenmann straight pipe . on a c230k 2005. i notice when i 1st installed the exhaust it sounded great ,but with both Items 2gether gives it a deeper sound and also the supercharger wines more when i installed the straight pipe
more video clips 2 come soon for now check these outtttttttttttttttttttt

i didn't even know the eisenmann came with a resonator. it definitely sounds deeper....well thats what its supposed to do with the straight pipe because the resonator is there for sound deadening.

nice pics and videos. time to get some headers to complete the whole exhaust system.

I dont know what to get 1st KLeemann headers or Wheels????

but honestly I would've just weld on a stainless steel pipe that does the same for less money.

i'm referring to the straight pipe, not the muffler.

[topekoms]

not bad! but the eisenmann exhaust sounds way better on bmw 3.0 v6 engines

[drexappeal]

Good post...

Yeah, it sounds much better on a V6. I think it sounds like a 4-banger, almost kind of ricey. Getting headers will only make it louder. Then it will really be riced out.

i never botherd any 1 they started with me, and all i wanted to do was to find something out but anways,,,,,, yea i thought it would be a cool POST with the pic and clips THANX

The sound isn't that bad but I don't think the M271 engine puts out enough power for the exhaust/muffler to sound good. The stock one isn't bad but I would like the supercharger to whine a bit more.

How much does a Eisenmann exhaust cost?

beilive me it does, it would be better if you would see it in person how it sounds .i will post more clips soon

$870 racing2x83mm straight pipe $97

[aecasasus]

Looks GOOD!!! Sounds.....I don't know. I rather listen to it in person. Usually you can't capture good exhaust sounds on the internet. I'm pretty sure it sound OK in person.

Totally agree...straight up rice. People, don't do an exhaust on anything less then a 6...it just sounds like rice...and for no reason as there will be minimal, if not 0 performance gains.

The tips look nice though.
