Meisterschaft Exhaust + F.I Test Pipe
 

i installed the test pipes today . the sound is so crazy .

love it at the day time , but i think i canot drive often :icon18:at night

Let me guess, the test pipes are pretty loud huh? I had some Berk TPs on my stock exhaust and only lasted a week :mad:

That's not good...my TP's going on next week with Stock NISMO. Looking forward to the sound. My last ride was a SLK55 AMG with resonator and muffler delete. I like it loud. :D My neighbors say they miss the 7:30am alarm when I leave in the morning.

Before that, Roush with LT's and 5" race cans:

The VQ can't be all that loud, can it? :D

Btw...we need some video! :d

I put TPs on my nismo when I first got it. Definitely better than stock but if your lookin for loud your still gonna want more. The rasp of TPs with the nismo CBE is very evident also BC its such a quiet exhaust. You might consider removing the resonators off the stock nismo to open it up some more. I did this paired with my hfc and it sounded quit a bit louder . Just my 2 cents

Are the middle resonators that oppressive? I figured it was just straight through with a touch of perforations...now you got me thinking, though I did want to keep the system plug and play bolt on's....

Why engineers would take a sport designed enthusiast model and kill the music they worked so hard to create is just baffling. At least give the purchaser the option to buy a "quiet" exhaust if they want one...

How loud is it now? I just ordered some ERZ HFC's for my setup. I wonder if it will be too loud... Might just stay with stock cats!

Well the resonators are there to quite the exhaust down a tad. For example thats why Tony from F.I. offers 3 different x-pipes...(18" resonator, 12" resonator, and non-resonated) each one increases the level of volume. I believe the resonators on our stock nismo are 12" and yea I could definitely tell a difference in volume when i removed them. It's a simple removal... cut em out and weld pipe to replace... if you don't like the sound cut the pipe out and weld the resonators back up. Should be fairly cheap exhaust work too wherever your planning on having it done. Much cheaper than a TP install anyways.

this is the video that i dont have the test pipes

Is it just me or is there no vid?

not just you, theres no video

here is the video

YouTube - 370Z GTHAUS EXHAUST WITH STILLEN G3 INTAKE

You need to record that with a better camera, overall sounds pretty sick though.

wow that sounds sick!

Im kinda confused on the meisterschaft exhaust is it the Rear section mid pipe and y pipe?

that exhaust sounds so mean... im considering it.

You can buy all three segments separately if you want for a complete Cat Back.

Oh TY

GTHAUS exhaust
 

I am very intrested in this exhaust.. i got a few questions though,

Is the sound of this exhaust to loud that it is annoying?

Also, how does it sound it a constant speed of 30mph and 60 mph

I want a loud exhaust but just want to make sure that this one has a good tone to it and something i wouldnt get tired of..

anybody got suggestions?

If you are concerned about it being too loud, this is not the exhaust for you. Watch the video on YouTube again and watch the guy next to the scooter. :P

thats not what i said at all.. I want a loud exhaust, but I want to make sure that it has a quality tone.. all of the videos on the net show it at full throttle and at high speeds. havent seen a video yet besides that.

OK. I just installed some ERZ HFC's and my GTHAUS Meistershaft GTS. It's rediculously loud! But it sounds sick! Had to turn off SRM as it was too much! I hope it quiets down some otherwise I will be getting a different exhaust. We shall see!

thats insane, i bet it sounds like a f1 car.. so would you recommend the meistercraft exhaust or would you suggest something else? Theres no alot of videos so hearing info from people like you would help me alot in my desion. thanks!

damn!!!! i think it is too loud! tickets? :eekdance:

Well at this point I think I am going to get a different one. I live in the city and this is too loud. I also have 200 cell count HFC's so that does not help at all! I would strongly recommend stock cats with this. This would be great for the non daily driver who tracks their car! It sounds SICK!!! I like it a lot. But my car is a DD so I need something quieter. I will be at the Cars and Coffee meet tomorrow (South Center Mall) at 10am if you want to hear it.

I think it is annoying, especially when you first drive off from say a light. You have to grandma it and not push on the gas too much or else it's F1 time! I find myself keeping the RPMs under 3K until I get up to speed as it gets too loud. That's no fun! But I guess it will save on gas? lol

No. Once you get to 3K RPMs + it sounds a lot better. At crusing speed its like normal. But if you gas it, it gets raspy.

This thing is for the hard core import dude who wants to show off and go drifting! I'm afraid to say, that is not me. LOL

Let us know what you decide. I'd like something a little quieter as well. My neighbors will thank me for it.

tjlazer,

Really appreciate the input about the exhaust, that definitely helps me a lot with understanding the exhaust.. i called up gthaus today, and the guy was telling me all about the exhaust. Did you get the full cat back system or did you just get section 3.. The guy was telling me if i went with just section 3 it would be a little more quiet, but less horsepower obviously.

Any chance you can get a video up or send me a link. appreciate all the help and good luck with your F1 370z haha

Here is one video. Ill try to do another one driving it.

This is with ERZ Hi Flow Cats and the FULL cat back. Mid pipes and Y pipe.

good god man.. thats just crazy loud! Im in for the driving vids + fly by haha.

whats the sound causing it to make that funny noise after you let off the gas? sounds like air is shooting out or something.. but thats awsomeeeeee man! thanks for the clip

The VQ design.. :D Once you put TP or HFC's on, you'll hear the "air fart" as I like to say...I was hoping the grumble of the Meisterschaft would eliminate it, but I see it doesn't...Amazing growl for a V6 though...

alright cool, thanks for the info!

holmanyu:

I have Stillen G3 long tube intakes, Stillen CBE, and Berk HFCs at the moment, but would like to purchase the Meisterschaft.

Did you have test pipes installed in the youtube video, or were those a more recent addition?
Do you have the SUS or Titanium exhaust?
What did you pay for the exhaust, and from where?
Is the cruising noise quiet like stock (it is with my current setup)? I don't care if it's loud when I'm accelerating to any degree...

Thanks in advance...

He sold his car with the exhaust. I had it on mine, see the exhaust database for videos and info. I had ERZ HFCs on mine. We bought it from GTHAUS directly. Around $2,200 shipped.

I have some nice vids in my build thread with this exhaust Berk HFC's and full CBE. My videos with the windows down are distorted but the rest are perfect. If you do not romp on the throttle and you can keep a steady load it is really not that bad. I love it!

Oh i can keep a steady load alright! :icon17:

Mr&Mrs, thanks for the vids...sounds like you have a very weird reverberation when accelerating under any load...wonder if it's the Berks, and if it would sound different with test pipes? I have Berks plus Stillen intake and CBE, but no reverb like this. However when the exhaust is cold I get a sound similar to yours, just less pronounced. Anyone have Meisterschaft CBE plus test pipes with drive-by vids?

Thanks...

Hmmm good question on if it is the CATS causing it. I never used it with the stock CATS to know if there is a difference or not.

Can you please contact me when you get a chance sprintevonyc@gmail.com

I have some questions for you, I just purchased my Z and I am very interested in the Meisterchaft CBE.
