FT: Meisterschaft GT for sometime quieter...

[eternallx]

ACM just installed a Gintani xpipe for me (Sal and his crew A++) and while I was loving it ripping it back and forth in a secluded area I feel a bit embarrassed when driving though busy local roads.

So anyone got something too quiet that they wanna trade for my Meisterschaft GT with connecting pipes? E92 Dinan, Eisenmann Sport, Akra slip on? Will add cash on top for the Akra of course.

Sejzilla has a Dinan I know but he is on the fence about trading without hearing the GT with oem xpipe first. I want this done asap so let me know guys.

I wish i had the chance to hear it in person before you installed the x-pipe....I was considering going x-pipe but I didnt want fumes around my garage/driveway cause I have a newborn so I am wondering how loud it really is during cold start and how bad the drone is on the highway...ever get pulled over? Did anyone switch from dinan to meisterschaft have any comments?

Bump for a good guy! We all thought it sounded great

Swapping exhaust with Sejzilla at ACM right now.

Let me know if anyone has an Akra slip on or Eisenmann Sport for sale, I still might want to switch it up.

Nope never had any weird noises. Have someone shake the exhaust while your sitting in the car to confirm?

I was actually hunting this down for a couple weeks too a few months ago. Assuming you're having the same problem, turns out it was the metal black shield that covers the bottom of the mufflers hitting the bumper mounts at the back of the car when the exhaust warmed up and expanded. You can easily tell if that cover is hitting the mounts by looking for worn away areas toward the top of the shield where it curves upward toward the car. I resolved it by tracing out notches in the area where the mounts could potentially hit when the exhaust warmed up, and Dremel'ed them out.

Yup, this is it. I had this same exact problem which took me a while to figure out. You'd be surprised how much the exhaust expands when they heat up. I ended up taking off the cover on mine.
