I wouldn't be surprised if Eisenhaus declares bankruptcy to avoid all the upcoming lawsuits.

Either that or he'll be skipping the country soon.

What in the world?

So MEISTERSCHAFT is not made by Eisenmann?

I hope Ryan chimes in on this. This is pretty serious.

As long as your muffler looks like the top pic Anthony posted, you're fine. If you have that muffler with no indented lines on it, you got the fake one.

BTW, I called Anthony about this too. He's literally pulling his hair out over the situation, and he's concerned with his customers although the situation is one that IND can't necessarily solve and may not be able to solve.

I asked Anthony about my mufflers andSR pipes, and he said this:

1. Eisenmann never made a "Meisterschaft" series of muffler. Only a "Race" or "Sport." What you see below is the genuine "Race" version from Eisenmann":

See how the muffler looks flat, ribbed, and similar in appearance to the OEM muffler?

The next picture showing the smooth muffler is the fake, that Eisenhaus labeled as the "Sport" or "Race" muffler:

Anthony said the fakes are not entirely composed of stainless steel internally like the genuine mufflers, and the hangars are made from mild steel.

2. Eisenmann never made an "SR" pipe. So it seems that altough I have the genuine Race mufflers by Eisenmann, I have a set of intermediate pipes that were made in Korea (or somewhere in Asia). Anthony said that he's 99% sure they're fake, but he said that since they're stainles steel, there should be any problems like the fake mufflers may experience down the road. I opened mine out of the wrapper a few minutes ago, and they seem to be constructed fine and the welds look good. I doubt that Eisenhaus would let me return them either, if that was what I wanted.

Hope that helps.

Me personally, I'm glad I got the genuine muffler, and I can live with the SR pipes. For me to obtain a possible refund would require me sending the pipes back to the continental states at my own coin, which wouldn't be cheap.

so the meisterschaft is really eisenmann's race exhaust, and so the supposedly "race exhaust" pic you posted with the flat design is the fake?

Correct. Eisenmann "Meisterschaft" = Eisenmann "Race."

Any "Eisenmann 'Sport' or 'Race' " currently in America is a fake and no one has imported the real "Sport" yet from Germany.

Don't hang the messenger bro, I'm only saying it's going to be a HUGE uphill battle to try and get money back from them.

I sure no one knew other than Eisenhaus. Had Eisenmann known about it, they would have surely cut ties long ago.
