I believe the M-sport can go with other quad exhausts while the Kerscher can be used with Kerscher exhaust only. With the Kerscher, you don't have to cut to open on the right. However, the M-sport you have to cut it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I think with the M-sport, you have to cut open the OEM as well. Right Long?

Now, talk about the exhaust, with Kerscher, you have to modify the pipe a little to make it fit the original while the Essieman for M-sport, you don't have to.

I have had the same problem - reading magazines , photos and web site too much. May be we think we can come up with the best mix but a coctail is a coctail which will violate the original tuner's design concept. Some parts may look good individually but a coctail design is very high risk of losing the car's 'personality'.

M-tech with the insert painted body colour. It matches up nice with the stock side sills and can easily be cut for the quad exhaust.

M-tech gives you more choices. You can stay with the factory look or get the quad exhaust and get it done.

u are in the same dilemma as me prior to getting my m rear. i got my kerscher front and then started looking for a rear bumper. if u want quads, kerscher looks meaner and the shape of the kerscher rear was designed for a quad pipe. looks unbalanced with duals. i am getting m rear because i am not changing to quad.
