There are certainly cars to listen to around LA/SD. I have the race. Niko1414 has sport. I will say that some who first chose sport have since decided to go for something louder like race or meister.
Hi Rob,

I recently (350 miles ago) installed the E-race on my F12 M6 and the drone at 1500-1900 rpms is brutal. In city driving, it's difficult to avoid. I was told that at 500-600 miles, it will dissipate. Is this true? Your help is much appreciated

Brad
Hi Brad. I don't experience the drone. I suppose each driver has more or less tolerance for drone, but you should definitely give it the full 500-600 miles. It will break in and the sound will change. I never really had a chance to experience break in either, as I literally went straight to the track the day it was installed. It sounded EPIC out there

You only did rear mufflers, correct? Or did you also install the Eisenmann center pipes?

There's another member named nugent who reported the same thing at first, but sounds like after break in he's happy with the sound.

Other than cold start, which is pretty over the top, I think the E Race is perfect. I drive with my windows down most of the time to hear it more...not less.
