Who has Meisterschaft Exhaust? If yes, Answer my questions please!!!
 

Hello Z Members!

i'ven seen the video and loved the sound. But I also hear other

complains that It is so loud that makes ur ears bleed, gets you headache,

and can't even drive around if you live in quite neighborhood

because its too loud.

Also I've checked out VIVIDRACING.com + Meisterschaft's website

and want to know why vivid is more cheaper than main

website?

BUT PLEASE!@# Someone ANSWER MY FOLLOWING QUESTIONS BELOW

It would be Great!!!!

1. I know it's loud but can you drive around in the neighborhood not waking them up?

2. does It does not sound like ferrari? It does to me from the video but in reality, I haven't heard of it

3. I do listen to rap or R&B and volumn up between 15 to 20 (not max) Does it pass those limit?

I am really really considering to buy it but I would like to know better before i regret it next day. All i care about is Awsome Sound and Don't want to be an *** to neighborhood or seening in pain a person sitting next to me cause of loudness or even myself lol
But Thanks for reading my thread! drive safe and you have beautiful day!!!

1. Yes, stay under 3k RPM and it's fine, also accelerate normally.

2. It definitely sounds exotic, but that's the point right? I've never heard a ferrari in person so I can't say.

3. You can only hear the exhaust in the car, with music on, if you are really ripping it.

It's really not that bad. Listen to those vids again and see how loud the background is. Passing cars, birds, the wind, etc. Then you can kind of gauge how loud it really is. If you drive the car normally you will easily be under decibel laws. I was worried about this too, but I can say it's not as bad as the videos make it out to be. It can be at very high RPM's, but most of the time it isn't. I live on a street with a daycare center and drive real slow passed there. They haven't complained yet. In fact, most of my neighbors compliment my car. Just drive cool where you live and it'll be fine ;)

my friends meisterschaft exhaust, IT IS LOUD!

at 0:48 there is lightning, it sounds cool you see the flash before the noise

You forgot the question of does it add power? Cause I hear it does not. Just saying.

I'm working on that one red. Getting a dyno here soon. Should be next few weeks hopefully.

Hope it adds some decent power cause I love the sound but because of lack of dyno sheets and rumors of no power gains I walked away.

hah! i just watched that vid last night. for real that is the most intense thunder and lightning ever. sounds like a bomb went off

Hey man thanks for answering my question ive decided to get one!! And i forgot to ask one more question which is usual price for inatallation cause i dont want to get ripp off u know? Tyty!!!:iagree:

Sounded like some accidently let off a AK draco in the cockpit. Lol.

Hey gauge quick question, i showed muffler to my friend and he saying that i might need pipe for this....? Do i have to buy it as separetly???? I need to know asap thanks!!

I installed it myself. If your car doesn't have high miles then it shouldn't be an expensive install. My install took under an hour. Don't let them rip you off. I wouldn't pay more than 50-60 bucks to have it installed.

The muffler section fits on the 370Z stock mid pipe I'm pretty sure. The mid pipe and front pipe need to be bought together though, as they meet in the middle with a larger pipe than stock. The front pipe fits to your stock cats though, so this is good.

TLDR: you can buy the muffler seperate without any problems, you need to buy the front and mid pipe together to avoid problems.

As far as fitment goes, no modification of the car itself is necessary. It slaps right on to the stock hangers perfectly. Not cutting or anything. The engineering is fantastic TBH.

Hey man......I got a bad news I called to order from vividracing.com and thought i had it but they sent me a e-mail saying its been sold out since yesterday and they contacted GTHAUS and it will get it 4 to 6 weeks.....do you have any other website that recommand other than vividracing? i don't see one around because meistercraft is rare

If You don't have any recommandation website, could you tell me other products with similer + price range? Thanks man!!!

GTHAUS is a vendor on this site.. send them a PM

That thunder/lighting was effen loud. I am still waiting for my Meisterschaft Exhaust which I ordered from GT Haus last week. I ordered all three section & it should arrive in the middle to the end of May.

The sound of the exhaust does sound exotic & sexy as hell. I do agree that it does have the Ferrari & Lamborghini sound to it. With that exhaust people would be like WTF is this. This is a 370Z & is suppose to have a V6, but this sounds like a V8 or something.

I doubt it would be loud if you keep the rpm's 3k & under, but if you go balls to the wall it will be extremely loud. You might get a headache if you constantly go past 3k or 4k rpm's & always want to redline the SOB in whatever gear you are in.

In my personal opinion this is the best sounding exhaust to get for the 370Z. You are going to pay an effen premium for it, but your Z is not going to sound like any other Z around either. Like they say you have to pay to play.

Not sure how true this is, but I have heard that if you went with all three sections of the Meisterschaft Exhaust that you will get 20-30 hp.

I thought I would chime in on this from a somewhat different cars perspective. I am the first G37 sedan(I actually own a G37x) with their setup(all 3 sections) and I drive my car daily. My other car became a flood victim in last years hurricane and I still haven't bought a second one. From my experience with it, you cannot have high flow cats or test pipes with it on, trust me or ur ears will bleed. Knowing that with the G37x it comes in auto with the automanual setup. I cannot knowingly drive my car in my neighborhood in auto anymore because going from the first gear to second with it is insanely loud. When I drive in automanual, I cannot have this go over 3.5k or it gets really loud also. On the highway it is a different story, it quiets down a lot. Compared to my friend who has the Meisterschaft on is C300 mine is much louder. The guys over at Akuma actually compared the loudness to the one they use on one of their track GTR's. I've had it on for about 1000 miles so far and I have scared the **** out people with it. I suggest the setup if you dont daily your car, but if you do def not. I know for my future plans I can't keep this setup and have already contacted Amuse into making a system for my car.

Just noticed that the OP is from NJ. Hope you're not living in a town where cops like to harass you for anything, cause it will get you pulled over.

WOW..... I am sorry to hear that. So knowing what you know, then why don't you shift at 3k rpm's or less then (not trying to be an a**)? I definitely appreciate the insight. For me my '12 Nismo is not my DD & I know ahead now to shift before or at 3k rpm's.

I consider myself a very weird & unique individual. I do not like to be like everyone else. I have notice that everyone wants the FI exhaust. It does sound nice, but you are just the avg. run in the mill & your Z will sound almost identical to every other Z out there. Please don't get me wrong the FI does sound bad a** & that would be my 2nd choice. It is like someone wanting to get a Mustang & put Flowmasters, or Borla exhaust as their exhaust system. It is way to effen common.

I also look at it as if you actually had a Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini Gallardo b/c their exhaust is not quite at all. Your neighbors will know when you pull into your driveway not unless your house sits on several acres. The Meisterschaft Exhaust is not for everybody & if you truly want it, then you have done your research & you know that this is what you truly want.

I have the full system with hfc's on my G37 coupe and it sounds like nothing you ever heard. Do not get it with hfc's or tp's because it gets very raspy over 4k RPM. If you shift around 2.5-3.5 the system sounds amazing with no rasp, anything over that your ears will suffer and it will get raspy. Funny thing is, I never took it past 5k rpm lmao. Ive gotten a semi headache every long highway ride over 1.5hrs so thats why im removing the hfc's and then it should sound perfect. Its a head turner and a compliment machine lol. I got it because the sound is just incredible and its very very rare exhaust on my G. Any more questions just shoot em.

Hmm, i love the look of this system, it's certainly built well, but that onboard vid on the last page just sounded like a ton of rasp :(

He was driving in auto which makes it sound like total ****, plus he got it up to like 7k rpm. The only way to make this exhaust sound good is to drive it in a auto car but use the manual shifting, or in just a regular manual car. IMO

I had this on my Z first and then switched it out to the FI TDX 18" resonators.

It was too loud for me. I was constantly under shifting to keep it under 3K RPM to lessen the sound. I got looks all the time and was scared I was going to get pulled over. I have no front plate too and thought this was going to bring me way too much attention. I got complaints from the HOA that my car was too loud, and that I was going to get fined. As a DD it was just too much. For a track beast it would be perfect. I really did love the sound and it sounded insane in tunnels or under over passes! Loved gunning it! As far as power, I do feel the FI TDX has more power though, I felt an increase when I switched to it.

But you had hfc's on it like I did. I bet it will sound 10x better without hfc's.

First off if you are even remotely concerned about it being too loud, this exhaust is not for you. The piping is bigger than stock so gains should be had, how much is the question, if you are concerned about gains first then go fast intentions...like everyone else.

You can't sound as close to F1 as possible without accepting that the exhaust is loud. This exhaust is meant for only the fiends that need that SCREAM in their Z.

Btw, I had it for awhile, with fast intentions long tube headers and I have received compliments from cops about how nice it sounded. Of course I don't recommend flying by one at redline but come on, live a little.

+1....... As I stated earlier somewhere that GT Haus says you will get b/w 20-30hp with all three sections, but probably 12-15whp. My '12 Nismo will not be my DD which is pretty good, so I am not worried about it. On the highway I can see opening her up, but not in a rural area. If you are going to be pretty anal about the exhaust, then shift at 3k or 4k, or do not get it at all. How often do you see a Ferrari or Lamborghini red lining through there gears? I can see every once in awhile, or once in a blue moon taking her to the limit possibly. I will agree that you would get a headache & eventually have your ears bleed if you are constantly red lining at every effen red light or stop sign.

+1...... :tup:

There's a lot of good info here in helping me decide on this. I had Motordyne exhaust with their ART pipes on my 350 and was wondering if anyone here has heard both Motordyne and this exhaust in person and would care to compare. I know there are videos but honestly those never do exhaust justice. I just want to kind of see an update on how people are liking this versus other exhausts.

Also, is there really no rasp on this setup? I know someone said there was but one opinion isn't always a mutual thing.

And lastly, if I was to put ART pipes with this CBE would that be the point where it becomes too loud? Also would that even fit?

Thanks guys

I just got the Meisterschaft full cat-back exhaust on Fri & had it installed on Fri as well. I created a thread about this on the 27th of May. I shot two videos today which I will post later on today. The first video is just turning on the car (cold start) & reviving it up, but not excessively since it is Memorial Day. The second video was a drive, but with the windows up & not breaking any speed limit while doing so.

As I have stated several times & so has others that the Meisterschaft full cat-back exhaust is worth the wait & worth the price. The Meisterschaft full cat-back exhaust has a very unique, distinctive & exotic sound to it. At the end of the day if you are too worried about the sound being raspy or neighbors, then the exhaust is not for you. If you are also worried about squeezing out every hp, then this is not for you either.

I know NYBladeZ had the Meisterschaft full cat-back exhaust along with the F. I. long tube headers & he absolutely loved it. I have the Meisterschaft full cat-back exhaust & I absolutely love it without a question. Once again at the end of the day to each is own. It is your money & no one else's & if you are happy with your exhaust purchase, then that is all that matters.

If people are complaining about how loud it is why not throw in some 12" resonators to get the perfect sound. Duh!

its been awhile but not long enough where I have forgotten the great sound that is the GTHaus exhaust. If you plan on changing the exhaust at all to make it quieter than honestly sell the damn thing to someone who doesn't care and wants what GTHaus is selling. The exhaust is marketed as the most hardcore sounding exhaust, if that doesn't work for you or you are remotely scared, find something else. I miss that sound but from what forum member Gauge is stating, I'm happy it went to someone who appreciates it.

OH MY......when starting up the Z with the full cat-back exhaust at a cold start sounds so EFFEN SEXY. When you get on it & have the RPMS souring & your switching through the gears is nice....very nice. Oh when driving & down shifting is pure sex too. The Meisterschaft exhaust is not for everyone, but just the pure exotic sound is a complete head turner. Mark my words that you will get lots of thumbs up & complements.

Worth every penny in my opinion. Of all the parts I sold off my Z, sending out the Meister was the hardest to part with :(

Is the exhaust significantly less loud if you just use the axleback? I'd like to add this to my nismo, and I used to have an Ark Grip on my last car.

Just the axelback will be less intense compared to the full catback. I have heard both setups and they sound completely different. On my Nismo, I pulled off the restrictive H pipe and replaced it with a 2.5 inch X pipe. So when I install my Meisterschaft axelback, it will sound closer to the full catback. I highly reccommend upgrading the H pipe and not converting to a Y pipe.
(Which is more restrictive IMO) :tup:

Would you say just axle back would be not too obnoxious for daily driving if I kept everything else stock on nismo? I love strong sounding sounding exhausts just don't want to annoy my neighbors at 5am going to work

Sent from my Nexus 7

Did you ever get any numbers?

It will be fine with everything else stock.

Little update on this.

I've heard videos with this cat back and test pipes and it sounds awful. So to try to tame the beast, I'm going to be buying motordyne ART pipes to see if We can get the extra power without all the noise. Supposedly these pipes are quieter than HFC's. We'll see.

If it doesn't workout then I might be moving on to shockwave or fast intentions.

I'm love the sound as is. Especially with a CAI. Really refines the sound slightly. But I want the gains of test pipes since my county in WI doesn't do emissions testing. Si Test pipes is happening. I want to do everything in my power to keep this exhaust. Even though I do love the loud bad *** sound it makes, if these test pipes can't tame it, it might be time... which would make me very sad.

Also in these videos the test pipes make it sound like **** IMO. It' snot even the volume, it's just the noise it makes is unbearable. Could be the pipes they used, IDK. Sounds great with stock cats though. Wouldn't change a thing. I'm praying these ART pipes do the trick.

As far as I know, no one has done meisterschaft cat back with ART pipes :)

Its loud and can be raspy but that's what you get when you go GT Haus. The BIGGEST CONCERN should be the lack of dyno results. GTHaus keeps the Y pipe design which leads me to believe that there are only nominal gains. Ask yourself do you like the sound, if the sound is a big deal to you like it was to me then the lack of gains compared to other exhausts won't be a big deal.

I love the sound as is. But you really should youtube this cat back with test pipes. It sounds nasty. It completely ruins the sound. It's not even close to the same. So I'm hoping these test pipes will keep the sound as close as possible to what I have. But I'm def going test pipes because it's impossible to go from cats to no cats and not see gains lol. Like I said, if I can keep my current sound, or anything close to it, the exhaust stays, but it it sounds like it does on youtube... yuck.

Who knows. Youtube sorta sucks for sound comparisons anyways. Might sound completely different in person.

I ran my setup with F.I. Long tube headers...you wanna talk loud lol
