IPE F1 exhaust vs Meisterschaft GT2 Ti exhaust
Do you guys think its worth spending an extra $3-4K on the IPE F1 exhaust? What's the weight and power advantage over the GT2 if any? Or is it just more expensive because its a valvetronic exhaust?

GT2 all the way . a friend of mine got the IPe F1 and his xpipe cracked very bad after a couple of months.
Meisterschaft weld & build quality is much better ! |

Even if it was 7500, why so much? Even with the titanium tips, it shouldn't be that much.

+1...IPE quality is absolute garbage...especially when you consider the price. Plus, its way too raspy sounding.

My Eisenmann race was nice but droned like crazy and was extremely heavy. I loved the sound but it was far from perfect and very different in every way from my friends Meisterschaft. |

I agree it was very shady business to do what they did, but I still dont see them as direct copies. The designs are entirely different as is almost every aspect of the exhausts if you were to compare side by side.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The quality is quite good. With the exception of very few such as Eisenmann and Akrapovic, it's better than most out there. Someone stated they had a friend with a cracked x pipe from IPE, but I've not yet seen a failure personally. |

its not just the eisenmann's they copied, they were the US distributor for kreissieg japan, but kreissieg cut the lines with them after finding out that meister was coping the kreissieg lambo exhaust design.....

We have several customers out there with systems that see frequent track use and lots of heat cycling with no issues. My personal E92 has an IPE system with over 20K miles and a few track events with zero issues. Either way, the systems themselves are far from garbage or I wouldn't have one on my car. |

Alot of muffler in deed! The tits are not titanium. It costs what it costs lol. I had Kreseigg make me a custom one-off pair of tips. Shipping from Japan is not cheap either. It is build-to-order so I will post some videos up in 6-8 weeks
