Im not surprised. The quality on my eisenmann race was CRAP. Welds were crappy and it didnt fit right. It had to be cut and rewelded.

Well, let's start a list, who has bought an Eisenmann exhaust in the last year or so? I'd say someone owes you your money back.

What a scam. I'd say some jail time coming for a not so bright entrepreneur.

How did Eisenhaus USA get caught out?

I assumed this over a year ago when my friend stopped by their place in IL looking at system and noticed wood crates from Korea stocked in their warehouse so who knew this wasn’t legit I mean everything in our country is made in CHINA these days and even parts from Germany companies GAP, MP Designs are made in Asia, Poland and Czech Republic (exhaust tips sold from Performance Products). This is not a new scam many distributors have done this even big names as Cargraphic in the USA years back. It seems these guys want to max profits by screwing customers. I always wondered why so many people had bad experiences with eisenman exhaust on the forums because their reputation in Europe is solid but in America they always seemed to fall apart.

They represent other brands and who knows if everything they sell is a knock off now, this is going to hurt them big-time so let’s expect a name change and new location pop up soon.
I feel no pity for them since they screwed my brother on a 12k Ferrari system that never fit, Payback is a killer!!!

I actually had the same complaint on a BMW system ordered 4 years ago that most likely came from Germany so the crappy welds are not necessarily a telltale.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fake systems had gorgeous welds!

How do you know if you got a fake or not? I had issues with the fitment on mine, but bought it like 2-3 years ago.

I have been going to the Eisenhaus site for years and most recently in October 2007. I just went there right now and its completely changed:

Anyone know how to tell the diffrence between a fake and the real deal? I am curious to know how to tell the diffrence because my exhaust did look a little goofy but I though nothing of it.

This is totally ridiculous. I'm still in disbelief. I just read that letter on e90 post from Eisenmann and it's just crazy.

I wonder if the other products that Eisenhaus carries are knock offs as well.....hmmmmm????
