UK M5 owners, what exhausts are you running ?
Hi Fellas,
Have any UK M5 owners, changed their exhausts yet ?, and if so, which make did you go for ?. Any comparisons to the stock system, would be appreciated. I think i would choose the Eisenmann sport/ race myself, but am wary of chopping up the standard exhaust, to fit the silencers. I know you can buy the centre pipes as well, but its starting to get very expensive at this point. Also like the Turner Motorsport option as well, regards, SIMON.

I am looking at options myself, the two on my short list are Eisenmann Sport or the Supersprint with valves.....
Not heard either in person, just looking for a bit more subtle sound. My last car was a Maserati GTS and the sound that made was wonderful, unfortunately the rest of the package didn't live up to the same standard..... |

Hi Simon,
I am thinking exactly the same as you, Eisenmann seems the best 'bang per buck' although as you said the Turner Motorsport option is very well priced and sounds great - delivery isn't going to be cheap though is it!? The Remus system sounds good and they have UK suppliers. I guess as long as you can pop the OEM parts back on the exhaust then the Eisenmann race seems the obvious choice - It's around 2.5k isn't it? |

I think your point, of being able to refit the standard exhausts, is a good one. I would like to see suppliers, say Eisenmann, supply a sleeved pipe, as part of the exhaust package, that allows refitting of the original exhaust, that has been removed. Did you get your car ?, and how do you like it ?, regards, SIMON. |

I am just doing the usual thing of thinking of all the things I can buy for it before it has even arrived. So is the stock exhaust not giving you enough? |

In some respects, the standard exhaust is enough, it is purposeful, and characterful. I love to give the throttle a blip, when in sport mode, at a standstill, where it will pop and bang a little. Where i would like a little more V8, and popping and banging, is under load, where, i sometimes feel it is quite muted. Its a little frustrating. You know what the TT RS S-Tronic was like, with the secondary cats removed, you could count on it always putting a smile on your face under hard acceleration, with its explosions, and exhaust note, well, in this respect, the M5 sounds good, but not fantastic. A very vague answer i know, but see what you think, when your car lands, and report back, regards, SIMON . |

The decat on the RS was such a simple yet effective mod and all for £130. I was really hoping a similar thing could be achieved with the M5 but I guess that was wishful thinking!
Do you know how much the eisenmann race is, I have a feeling it is around 2.5k? |

Not priced the Eisenmann yet, but if it is £2.5k, i wont be bothering. I actually dont think the sound is bad enough, to spend that much. I have a feeling that the E60 M5 Eisenmann was around £1700 here. Would consider modifying the standard silencers, if we could find someone that has already done it here, that should give the same results, as aftermarket gear. |

I know of a company that done the same thing to a E92 M3 exhaust with positive outcome, but they have not done a F10 M5, I guess if someone is willing to be a let them do it, they would be happy to try..... |

Yes, the E92 M3 responded well to the exhaust mod, and didnt cost the earth. There is a good post somewhere on here, i cant remember which thread it was on, that showed an opened up rear silencer, and i studied it for some time. I think it would actually be easier to mod this exhaust, than the M3s, because the baffled pipes, are shorter, and straighter, although there are two silencers of course. It would also save a lot of money ?, regards, SIMON. |

Simon/W5PWR, have you ever used blue flame performance? They can make a custom exhaust. I asked what their price would be for something similar to the 'E race' and he quoted £1200 (stainless steel solution) and needs the car for 2 days. I thought that sounded very good!
Might be something a few of us could do together to make sure the solution is bang on? Cheers, James Last edited by jbomb; 04-22-2013 at 09:17 AM.. |

I have never used Blueflame, but i have heard of them. They used to be very local to me, in Lancs, but i thought they had gone out of business ?. I now believe that they had just moved, and are still going ?. It sounds like a good idea, if anyone is able to lend them their car. |

All I am going to do is remove the rear boxes and fit straight pipes. My local exhaust shop will do it for me. Still 9 weeks to wait yet though

In other words if you remove the oem muffler and replace with a straight pipe it will sound the same as the Turner system? Perhaps the "oem exhaust mod" for the F10 M5 will simply be elimination of the muffler as paulmc indicated above.

If you study the photo of the internals of the M5 rear silencers [ they are on here somewhere ], you will see that the silencers are pretty straight through as standard. I think all that needs to be done, is to remove the top, or bottom of the silencer, and either wrap the small baffled pipes, or remove those, and weld a Y piece in, if you can get at it, then reweld the pieces back in. This will more than probably have the same effect as most aftermarket pipes, still look stock, and cost a fraction of the price. Im not bothered about any larger tips etc. The modded E92 M3s exhaust sounded perfect, and im sure this could be applied to the M5 ?, regards, SIMON.

Well I still can't make my mind up what too do.....
I was about to order E Race, but would love to hear in person how loud they are on 'cold start', the modification of OEM sounds good solution, but no way back if you don't like the sound or sell the car back to a dealer? |
