Question Akra vs eisenmann

I think eisenmann has more cracks and burble and also more crackling sound with
1-3 gear shifts. Also eisenmann race is cheaper.
But akra for sure will be drone free.
Listened to both in the videos.
Confused which one to go for?

Can't go wrong with any of the two.

I've owned both on the F10 M5 platform and prefer Akra but subjective to say the least as both companies put out top notch products.

Will have to make this same decision if not happy with the Sport Exhaust on M5 Comp.

In the videos eisenmann sounds lot better, esp during shifts.
Was wondering if I just get the axle back, how would that sound.

Everyone has their preferences regarding exhaust note and what sounds good to them.

I like Akra because "to me" it suits the personality of the car well.

I would try to listen to a video of the axle-back; will certainly sound much better than stock but will have to meet the sound you're looking for.

Wait for RPI to release their GTM Exhaust, the F10 M5 and the F13 M6 ones are intoxicating

No gains whatsoever from the eisenmann piece. FWIW.

You will not gain power from anyone’s cat back exhaust, regardless of their claims.
