Motordyne vs Meisterschaft?
 

Ok so the two exhausts said to have the most unique and best sounds on the forums, no one really compared them before, I wanna know your opinion. Which one do you think is better? Here's two videos from youtube to help you judge





I'm gonna hopefully order one of these for my Nismo Z.

We are ignoring price for this one, just talking about sound, performance, looks, quality, etc...

(sorry new to forums don't know how to make embedded videos work)

I can't argue with motor dyne, the product is in my opinion significantly superior. only company I would consider above them is Nvidia, but I can't justify there pricing

I pulled the trigger on the Motordyne Shockwave exhaust! It’s actually shipping out today, can’t wait!

I narrowed down my choices to these two as well and added the Tomei Expreme into the bunch. I had a Tomei in a WRX, so I knew it was a quality and great-sounding exhaust.

In the end, it will be up to you, but you can’t go wrong with either of these two.

Congrats on your new exhaust! What made you pick motordyne instead of meisterschaft?

You can't justify the pricing on the Invidia exhaust? It's almost half the cost of the Motordyne... or am I misinterpreting what you were saying?

One factor was the price. The axleback is roughly $1900, plus the midpipe (to connect to the cats) is another $600...ouch!

Don’t get me wrong, the GT Haus Meisterschaft exhaust sounds awesome, but I liked the sound a little more out of the Shockwave exhaust.

Plus, the look of the angled exhaust canisters (and the weird but cool resonators on top of each muffler) reminded me of a 5Zigen exhaust I had in my ‘95 Civic Si.

To me , the sound (almost like that of an exotic engine) and the cheaper price (by no means cheap, but the craftsmanship makes it worth it!) were my deciding factors.

Good luck in your choice! (If you do go with the Motordyne, check out JM Auto Racing...darn good price)

Both amazing exhaust setups/sound.. I had a shockwave on my g35 and boy was it fun! Quiet when it needed to be , but screamed when you open up that VQ power .. Comes down to preference .. For me shockwave Wins.. have to hear them in person to get a true idea

gthaus sounds way more exotic. those gurgles with the crackle and pop sound so satisfying.

I have not heard Motordyne so can compare. With that said, I am very happy with my setup which is Berk HFC, nismo stock mid-section and Meisterschaft axle-back.

This clip is quite accurate although in normal driving there is more burble and pop:

Also, I recently did an HPDE at the Mid-Ohio track and the sound got LOTS of positive attention from others there. It was a really fun weekend hosted by the Northern Ohio Porsche Club. Lots of beautiful cars!

Sounds awesome!! In the video you wrote you had F.I resonated HFC, did you switch them out for Berks? Which of the HFC did you like better with meisterschaft? Was there alot of rasp with non resonated HFCs? I heard some people say that HFC might change the sound of the meisterschafts makes.

The car in the video is not mine. A bit confusing I guess since both are gunmetal nismos.

The only cats I have had on my car are stock and Berk. I chose Berk because this forum seemed to be quite big on them. I wanted something less restrictive than stock yet still throwing no codes.

I like the way the axle back GTHaus sounds (friend's car):



but anything extra like midpipe or straight through sounds terrible IMO. Here's my MD with test pipes. I plan on eventually getting the MD LTH:

I research the exhaust a lot. I ended up selecting motordyne catback exhaust. It was extremely easy to install and fit right up perfectly. Alignment and everything was spot-on. The sound is excellent. The V clamp connections make it simple to install. I then purchased motordyne LTE XYZ headers. Have not installed the headers yet but I have had them ceramic coated inside and out. I will be installing them along with the resonated test pipes that go with them in early December. I will keep you posted on how the motordyne headers resonated test pipes and motordyne Cat-Back exhaust all sound together. I love my motordyne exhaust and can't praise it enough.

do you have pics of your installed exhaust on your nismo? Also looking forward to sound clips as well, bet its gonna be great :P

Performance and sound- Motordyne
Sound- Meisterschaft

This is a very subjective topic. I would look at Motordyne before Meisterschaft due to the design first and formost. Meisterschaft costs way too much money to essentially be an enlarged stock Y and mid pipe with no resonators. The engineering effort behind the Motordyne, the option to do full 3" for boost, and it's built in the US. Tony has excellent customer service, and he tailors specifically to the VQ platform.

So my exhaust didn’t ship right away, but it was definitely worth the wait!

Just had it installed this last weekend and I’m loving every chance I get in my Z! The guys at the muffler shop really dug the design of the whole system...couldn’t help it, had to punch it under the first tunnel I found a few miles from the shop!

I’m super pleased with my decision and would definitely recommend the Shockwave exhaust!

You able to get any vids?

Sorry, was too excited that I forgot to whip out the iPhone (I did grab a couple of shots during the install, but was too jazzed before they tested the system).

I’ll see if I get a chance sometime this week, but in the meantime, there are plenty of fine examples on YouTube.

I spent a good bit deciding to either go with motordyne or meisterschaft. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Meisterschaft axle back. I have to say the axle back is great. The sound is great and theres no drone at all. I paired up the Meisterschaft with a cheaper midpipe system from a local shop and it paired up nice and sounds great!

I couldn't pull the trigger on the full Meisterschaft system just because the mid pipes seem overpriced to me.

I've been thinking of ordering myself the MoterDyne ART pipes to pair up with up I have currently.

Let us know how it sounds dude. I just installed my Meisterschaft setup today. Man it’s complete sex. I feel satisfied. No rasp at all. The rasp that some people say is rasp is not really true rasp like the E46. It’s just the sound that resonates inside the cabin.

For sure my meisterschaft is almost here. I can't let that sound go, I custom ordered tips from meisterschaft and is gonna pair it with the new Nismo R tune midpipes, hope the sound is gonna be bomb!

I would get the Meisterschaft exhaust if you like a loud exhaust that sounds great if you can swing it.
