Enjoy the new set-up once you get it installed.

I look forward to reading your comparison review between the Meisterschaft rear, and the Gintani rear.

Congrats on the new mods, I use to have the same ones before I went with their SC kit. Ur def. gonna feel a difference with their pulley and exhaust. Let us know what u think, Im sure ur gonna fall in love with the insane sound their exhaust makes. I still to this day cant get over mine.

got it installed today and all i can say is wow....i mean the GT2 was really loud, way louder than the gintani and had much more of a higher pitch to it, but the gintani is at the perfect level its not as crazy loud as the GT2 was and the tone is so much deeper...also either im going deaf or there seems to be very minimal drone if any compared to the GT2, crusing around 2500,3000 in 5th is very tolerable i was surprised because i thought the GT2 wasnt too bad haha....the power increase is very noticeable believe it or not it seems like its pulling harder than with the GT2...in other words i love it and im very glad i went with gintani

i still have yet to install the pulley though, hopefully this coming monday ill have some time...also ill see if i can get some pictures/vids up

Trust me your ears are fine!!! no drone to me.

I would have got the Gintani set up if I have heard it before. But ended up spending more ... on Akra but I guess it worked out for me.

again congrats.

Great to hear bro! I heard a GT2 last night on a dyno at Gintani, sounded ok but way to out of control sound for me and was louder then my full race exhaust which I thought was not possible. I like the gintani exhaust more cause the pitch and note changes through the RPM but always sounds controlled and the car sounds beefy when at full wot. Maybe not the most exotic sound but def. a very sick addicting sound.
