Opinions on E46 M3 exhaust?

I'm still trying to decide which exhaust to get for my E46 M3. This is my current list:

1) Dinan - don't like the fake tips
2) Active Autowerke Gen 4 - no weight loss, a tad raspy
3) UUC/Corsa - looks like it flows poorly, don't like the tips
4) Rogue Engineering El Diablo - perfect, but it does have some drone
5) Borla mid-pipe with stock exhaust - probably ideal, but perhaps too quiet

Anyone have any input? This car won't be heavily modified; it's really just a daily driver for the next 2 years until I move back to CA.

87 302 FOX is an unknown quantity at this point
I have heard the UUC/Corsa system and it sounds nice...
Can't say how it flows though, but it does not have any drone and my buddy sure likes the system.

I think the Eisenmann sounds really nice in person, and their quality is top notch. If you're not wanting to spend as much, the B&B Triflow also sounds pretty good. A guy had it at the track and I liked it quite a bit.

Gruppe m is popular. Then there is Dixis also. Both are made in titanium.

The Eisenmann Sport or Race would be my first choice.

The Race is a pretty aggressive sound, not extremely loud but noticeably louder than the sport. The Sport is a sporty sound with a big improvement from stock. It does tend to get a bit raspy though...

PM me for special pricing pricing

Here is a video of the race

Thanks for the input guys. Sound like Eisemann might be a good choice, although since it's a DD the Sport might be a better option (perhaps combined with a RE rasp pipe or something).

I know it may not be in your geographical area, but I would give Betim at BBI Autosport a call. He has worked on a lot of BMWs and can give you a sweet custom build. I am sure he ships all over. Just a thought. Good luck with the project brother!
