Eisenmann Race question.

Hey, I recently installed an the Eisenmann Race rear section on my car. I love the sound down low, but i'm looking for a little more up top. I'm thinking about going with an x-pipe, or some sort of custom cat-less setup. My question is: how many people have an Eisenmann race paired up with a cat-less setup? Can anyone chime in with their experiences and how they liked it?

Thanks

I suggest starting with a secondary cat delete.... then go from there if that's not loud enough

That's what I was thinking as well. What about going completely cat-less and adding a set of resonators?

The Challenge Race X-pipe is cat-less with resonators and would sound crazy with an Eisenmann Race level. The X-pipe is 100% bolt-on to the OE headers and Eisenmann system.

+1 to the Challenge X-pipe. Having heard this setup in person, it sounds incredible with the Eisenmann race. It should provide exactly what you're looking for up top without losing any of the Eisenmann Race growl you love. Can't complain about some power gains either

A friend of mine has the Eis race with challenge xpipe. I thought about it but it is just too loud for my daily driver. Does sound very good though!

So if I bought the race exhaust with the challenge x pipe, would the xpipe take the place of the eissenman connecting pipes making the whole system a bolt on?! =D

You're still going to need connecting pipes with that setup.
