Also, to confirm, if you shift in the 2.5-3k rpm range, you won't go over your counties sound laws. I have an 80 decibel law and have never been pulled over. In fact many people where I live compliment my car and its sound because I do the fun stuff away from where I live so they don't get angry.
I do question whether it's worth the money. Even used I could get a F.I. cheaper. The money in this exhaust is more int he build quality than any kind of gains or sound. The latter is of course nice, but you have 3 welds per curve on this exhaust. This thing would probably survive a nuclear blast lol. The build quality is probably not necessary, but it shows they care about their product.
I still havn't got mine tuned yet (still plan on it) because I've been busy, but it wouldn't suprise me if there were gains in the 10 bhp+ range. I can't confirm that of course until I get a tune.
Everyone has to make their own decision. If you just want the sound, I"m sure someone could make an exahaust that sounds similar for much cheaper, but no one does yet, so you are left with GT HAUS.
I'll keep you all posted on the main GT HAUS thread of when I go to get a tune.
IMO F.I. will probably give more gain. It also looks better from the rear looking at it. However, GT HAUS has a better build quality, sounds better, and requires no modification to install(which goes back to build quality). ZInferno had to do some cutting to get his installed in the right rear.

+1....... :iagree: I have said this countless times to where I was a broken record & so have others. Normal driving shifts might go to maybe 4k, but usually 2.5-3.5k rpms. If you want to be heard & seen, then go past 4k & beyond.
The F. I. exhaust would be cheaper, but the sound will not even be the same. The R&D & quality of the craftsmanship is phenomenal with the Meisterschaft exhaust. As I have stated that GTHAUS claims that the full cat-back exhaust will get you anywhere from 20-30 hp, but this also depends on a lot of different variables. The F. I. exhaust will definitely give you more gains, but I'm in it for the exhaust sound & not trying to squeeze every hp I can. |
