Akrapovic or Eisenmann Race

Which one louder ?

Anyone had both of them before?

Is Eisenmann race the loudest exhaust?

Eisenmann Race is 100% louder. Akra isn't much louder than stock TBH.

From what I gather, Akra gives a nicer note, but the volume sounds stock.

Eisenmann Race is the go-to for a loud exhaust, though this is not valved.

Eisenmann Sport is again, close to stock.

Fi from what I gather is a valved exhaust which does bring additional volume.

Eisenmann Race is the loudest and nicest.
If you just want stupid plain loud, do muffler delete, not worth of paying for FI exhaust.

I believe the problem is finding a compromise between loud and drone/resonance. This is why so many sound similar to stock or are not just plain "to the 11's" loud.

How about a custom exhaust dump?

It would be the same as muffler delete when you have it open.
