I had a Gintani Catless X-pipe for about 7 months paired with the stock mufflers and was extremely happy. Last Thursday I got the Meisterschaft GTS Exhaust. I knew the GTS wasnt as loud as the GT or the GT2 but this thing is too freeking loud for me.
The two options I have are:
1. Add 18" Resonators added to the x-pipe (it currently has one pair.) Work will be done my Piper Motors in Sterling VA. Yes the same Piper motors who were responsibile for the V10 E30 M3 (Look for it in the April eurotuner). I do not wish to add High Flow Cats.
2. Go back to my old setup.
I really need expert advice... If I do go with option number one what results can i expect. How much will it reduce the noise by? I am hoping to achive a 35-40% reduciton between the new exhaust break-in and the resonators. Am I asking for too much?
