Eisenmann Race
After various issues with the car repair the dealer said as a courtesy they will install my new Eisenmann Race exhaust and remove the Supersprint. First, they said I needed to buy the OEM sleeve, which I did. Second, they said they would need to cut a portion of the Eisenmann to make it fit so I said ok if that is what you need to do. Third, I picked up the car and the exhaust is sticking out like a sore thumb by about an inch. They disagreed and I told them I would take it home for the weekend and decide. What do you guys think? Shouldn't I have them tuck it in by an inch (cutting OEM pipe only)?

That looks about the same as mine does. When I first had mine installed, I thought the same thing. It looked to me like it was sticking out too far. Then after a couple weeks it looked normal. I recommend giving it some time. I think it looks badass. Like two cannons on each side.

Take pics from above and side with it cold first thing in the morning. Then take the same pics hot after a drive.
I think the amount of tip showing is a matter of personal preference. Some like them to poke out and others (myself included) like them flush like OEM. They do stick out more when hot. Then recess when cold.

Ok I've made up my mind. I'll see the rest of the M5Army tomorrow at C&C even if I'm there for only an hour. I'll also take cold and hot pix

Sounds like these guys don't know what they are doing. Take it to EAS.
I did the exact same swap as you (Supersprint to e-race), and there was no cutting at all. I stood there with them and decided how far the tips stick out. It's super simple to just slide the muffler over the center pipe and clamp wherever you like it best. Hard to tell from pics, but it looks like it's sticking out too far to me too. Regardless of the mounting, what do you think of the sound?

I'm trying to understand why they would cut the Eisenmann. It slips over the oem pipe.

i don't trust dealerships to do anything other than routine maintenance. and that is not always a sure thing either. they will overfill your oil for instance. anyhoo, it will def stick out more after you drive it. whether you keep it that way is your choice. careful when walking to your trunk after a drive tho. those tips will burn your shins. ask me how I know.

I guess it's not as bad as I originally thought. My first pictures are when they are hot and as others have posted "expand" 1/2" or more. Here are pictures of when the exhaust is cold and "recessed".

You are right Nerwyll. I should have just declined the dealer's offer and went to you on Monday, as was originally contemplated. Had I done that, I wouldn't have had to cut the exhausts nor have purchased the OEM sleeves. Although I'm sure I would have had to buy them anyway when I put back the stocks. See you guys for my next mod!
