Meisterschaft / ArmyTrix

SuperDave

1. I wasn't recording, I was driving, not my potato.
2. I have installed the FI exhaust system on another member's Z, and driven several other Z's with it, I stand by my original statement.
3. FI fanboys are pretty much equivalent to apple fanboys, yea you can still get to the same porn sites I can, but you paid a **** ton more to do it with a cool logo and a frappe latte.

It's cat-back piping and a pair of cans and tips, not neurosurgery, don't know who in their right mind would pay so much for it.

FI isn't that expensive, especially compared to the two that the OP is referring to (Meister and ArmyTrix). Also, I'm sure there's many more exhausts that are more expensive than FI (HKS comes to mind)

PS - I'm a Samsung/Android fanboy

I agree that you get what you pay for in most cases. The full FI system is like what? $1200? Meisterschaft is $2500.. But visually, if you look at both of them next to each other, you can see why one is twice as much.

Any exhaust company that's also gonna make a systems for Lamborghini or Ferrari, is probably gonna be really high quality. Just sayin

TBH, I think my Berk system (though only with HFCs, so a bit less raspy) sounds better than this system. And it costs a lot less.

As for the FI being overpriced, I am pretty sure the Meisterschaft and ArmyTrix (or however you spell them, I'm too lazy to look) are the ones you should be saying are overpriced and you're only paying for a logo.

As for them making something for a Lambo or Ferrari - that's how they're getting you to pay that ridiculous price for a similar system that you can get for $12-1500. You've been suckered.


And tell your friend to get a new potato! It's still nice to hear the exhaust notes clearly regardless of how I feel about the prices.

Now, i am a little biased when it comes to the Meisterschaft because i absolutely love the sound, and the guys at GThaus are great, but i have to disagree with you on this. Meisterschaft is not similar to a $1200 system, and they are not getting you to pay the high price just because they also make systems for high end cars. The 370z exhaust is made in the same place, with the same quality and craftsmanship as the exhaust thats going on the Bentley that they made right before it. Do you think that someone with a $400,000 car is going to put anything thats not top quality on their vehicle? Dont think so. I deal with just about all the REALLY high end exhaust manufacturers (supersprint, capristo, akrapovic, novitec, fabspeed..to name a few) and none of them make anything for the 370Z. My point is, that i'm happy that there is a exhaust manufacturer thats considered "high end" that takes the time to even develop a system for the Nissan. And i would be willing to bet that everyone on here that owes their exhaust would agree.

If I had a $400,000 car, sure, but I have a cheap $38,000 Z. To me it's not worth it to spend that much on an exhaust for this car. It's not really anything special (don't get me wrong, I love the car to death).
