Has anyone here own both or has tried both? If so, which one would you choose?

TSE3 all day long.
I am biased though, since I have one.
The BMW Performance one sounds nice, but it's not loud enough for my taste. I can hear the TSE3 at full song while on track, so I don't have to look at the tach to know when I need to shift. I could not do that with the OE exhaust because with the wind noise, it was too quiet. The Performance exhaust isn't much louder (if at all) over stock ZHP.
I also own a TSE3 and bought it for the same reason - so I could hear the engine on track. I love it! But I don't think it provides any noticeable power gains. The cats are still the primary exhaust limiters. It is somewhat lighter than stock, however. I'd guess 15-20 pounds.

As nice as the BMW performance exhaust looks, it is quite. However I wondered what it would sound like when headers were installed on the zhp.
I know the TSE3 and headers is a bad idea.
