torn apart..

was going to move on from the m3..
sold my dinan m3 w/ full meisterschaft gts system a few months ago
but i guess i might come back..
only thing is..



kreissieg f1 full exhaust system or innotech f1 full exhaust system..

there aren't enough videos to be able to compare the two very well

from what i've seen it's almost sounds very similar..

i've read that kreissieg is much louder too but that innotech sounds nicer?


any help?

Tough call.. I like both, but if I would buy a new exhaust system I'd get the Innotech F1 - love that sound!

I've only heard the Innotech in person, and checked it out during the install... it is expensive, but really well made. I heard the sound inside the shop, and I almost passed out it was so awesome. We took it for a spin, and I absolutely love that sound.

Kreisseig is the original valved and chambered exhaust manufacturer, and has been building valved systems for a very long time in Japan.

If money is no object the kreisseig all the way! If money is a concern then get the Innotech that sounds very similar for a little bit of a cost savings.

But check out this video! I know its in a garage so the sound is amplified but still, DAMN!

Innotech F1 all the way, mine actually is being delivered to me tomorrow. Kreissieg is much more expensive (~$7200 or more) AND it doesn't get rid of primary cats so there is little power gain

The thread above was posted because that vendor got shafted by Innotech because Innotech changed who their US vendor was and no longer was going to use them for their systems. I agree that it isn't the nicest thing to do, but business is business. Also, the current and only Innotech vendor has not heard one thing about price increases.

I have the Innotech "sport" (got it before F1 was out) and absolutely love it!!!!! Can't go wrong with either IPE, not sure why they call it sport because it sounds like it'll rip your head off under full throttle and hitting the downshifts with the DCT = MGASM

It is a well made system and fits extremely well. I got mine from John and Mike @ Rimier. Its really sad what happened with them Those guys were a great help with everything. Especially the install and following up with it even months after. They knew every aspect of the system and the E9x.

The thread above was posted because the way Innotech operates no longer works for Rimier. Writing off their actions as "business is business" enrages me because it's companies like Innotech that give the whole auto industry a bad name.

Again, JIM Tech's product is great but Innotech's business practices are terrible. Who knows, maybe they will improve.

PS We have been getting emails and referrals from Innotech over the past few weeks so the choice to no longer sell their products is ours.

I guess I understand where you're coming from. You chose moral values over business with Innotech, and that makes sense and is respectable. But the way you went about stopping to carry their product was wrong in many ways. It was an immature emotional response to them that was unnecessary.

man i'd hate to bring this up now.. but how do you guys think the new meisterschaft gtc compares with kreissieg and innotech's f1 valve systems?
i've still not heard any of these in person yet but before i sold my dinan m3 i had the meisterschaft gts system and the sound was mind boggling.. I loved that system and the build quality was superb so I have high hopes as to how meisterschaft's gtc would hold up.. it's just i've been out of the states for a year and now i'm tempted to get another m3 over a gtr or even a 991 if only to listen to one of these systems everyday. Has anyone heard all these in person?
