same design as the stock MCS with different mufflers is what it looks like.

 

def the same design as stock and JCW.

 

This is the Eisenman exhaust. We looked at it a few years ago - it is very pricey, and as you can see isn't a great improvement in design, so we never bothered to import it.

For reference, the JCW exhaust is similar to the other aftermarket exhausts out there in that it splits flow through two mufflers at the rear and then exits out the center without rejoining said flow.

Hope that helps!

I have previously inquire about the Eisenmann (Eisenhaus) exhaust. They a German tuner specialize in handmade exhausts for BMW cars.

The best quote I got for a set of Eisenmann muffler was at $700. The price does not include the Cat pipe as Eisenmann only offer the muffler for MINI.

However, I want to point out that their design is actually similar to the Dinan design. Different from what's shown in this picture, the actual muffler is designed similar to Dinan's single pipe structure. At least this is the answer I got from their official US distributor.

Eisenmann makes GREAT exhausts. I've had one before on my Audi, it was fantastic. All of their BMW exhausts are top-notch. Even though that design looks weird, and looks like stock...I would totally trust them that they know what they were doing when they made it.

 

it just looks like a chromed out stock exhaust. from the angle it doesnt look like the tips are even either.

 

I've not seen Eisenmann on a MINI in person (I'm new to the MINI world). I've had an Eisenmann exhaust on my 2002 BMW M roadster for years though, and have been very happy with it.

 

I currently live in Germany. When I was looking for an exhaust I went to every shop nearby and talked to every "car guy" I knew at the time. EVERY one of them said that Eisenmann is the best. I did decide to go with another exhaust though, because I am not a fan of the routing either (Bosi). There is a video clip on the web of a comparison between a grey Kelleners MCS and a red MCS from Digi-tec. That Kellener car sounds incredible. Since that time, Kellener has switched to Fox exhausts, saying the Eisenmann sounded good but that the Fox provides more performance.

 

I actually have Eisenmann on my 05 MCS. The performance might not be the best which I really have not much idea about it and I don't really care too much. But it does sound great! It made my MCS the loudest one on the street.
