Induction or not Induction...
Hello all,
I have pulled the trigger on an eisenmann race exhaust, it’s will arrive in 2-3 weeks and I’m very excited! The look of the pipes and the noise are the attraction for me. I’m keeping the stock boxes just in case I ever decide to sell and want to put back to stock, (unlikely!)
I am also considering an induction kit, based on hearing a couple at ZedFest either Gruppe M or Eventuri, does anyone have an opinion on this, good or bad they’d like to share?
I realise performance impact is minimal, but the look under the bonnet and the sound are quite attractive...
Let the discussion commence!

You should have gone for the induction first , 2 very different aural experience between exhaust to induction & for me looking back over my 3 x ZMs whilst i modded all 3 backboxes i much preferred the noise with just Gruppe M fitted .
The last car i changed backboxes more from a visual preference as i was keen not to spoil the noise from up front .

I’m with mr Wilks. I’ve gone back to std boxes with my GruppeM, just fitted bigger tips.

I ran the same back boxes with the eventuri, it's a great combo and genuinely not that OTT at all, in the end I slapped in some supersprint decats and now it soundsMichaelPorter80 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:05 pm Hello all,

I’m pretty new to all this, what would you describe as the difference in the noise front vs back? I was driving behind an M with Eisenmann exhaust and Eventuri and got this lovely high pitched racing noise under relatively high revs... not like a boy racer “big bore” exhaust but how a real performance car sounds. Was that the induction or the exhaust? I can’t get the sense of it from YouTube...!

It doesn't take much of a exhaust change to drown out any induction noise , of the two all i can say is i preferred the latter .MichaelPorter80 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 10:06 pm I’m pretty new to all this, what would you describe as the difference in the noise front vs back?

WIth a S54 the mechanical roar from the front when under load is part of the ownership pleasure , add the GruppeM then its heightened measurably but in a tasteful way , at no time intrusive as with virtually all aftermarket boxes

This vid captures the basic difference in tone, albeit with a fairly extreme flavour of each - CSL airbox (with bonnet vents!) plus RPI backboxes.
It’s quite similar to human biology - chatty up front and farty out the back.

A great description
And Great video! Thanks this helps a lot. I’ll get the exhaust on as it’s paid for and see how I go

I would like to hear your new exhaust, I’m torn between the sport and race

I’ll upload when it arrives and is fitted. I’ve heard one “in the metal” and it’s not as loud as you’d think.
