I have the Meisterschaft GT with Fabspeed HFC and resonated X-pipe. It's LOUD. And it doesn't sound very good, just loud. The Meisterschaft GT and GT2 sound very good with the OEM x-pipe but get way too loud and sound bad with catless x-pipes.

It smells more at start up and there is a little bit of smell when stopped after the HFC are heated up. There is some drone. I don't mind some drone so it doesn't bother me.

The Fabspeed HFC fit is terrible. Mine rubs on the transmission cross-member making a horrible noise. Others have had this issue also. Also, since Fabspeed uses round HFC, there is not enough space for them so they will rub on the heat shield. You will get a CEL eventually, even with extenders. Mine only took a few minutes to come on and won't go off.

I wouldn't get either of these parts again (unless I was keeping the OEM x-pipe, then I'd get the Meisterschaft).
