Full Gintani Sport Catless Exhaust

Whatsup guys,

So I've had my Meisterschaft GT2 system for quite a while now (installed it literally a couple days after I picked up my car) and absolutely love it. Only problem is, I'm searching for more power and cannot pair a catless x-pipe with this muffler and expect it to be civilized in any way shape or form (I purchased a gintani catless x-pipe, and after a few hours literally took it off because the sound was just ear piercing). I've been looking at a bunch of systems, and always find myself coming back to Gintani (love the sound of their full race, but I am looking for something a little more toned down).

I'm wondering what your experiences are with a Gintani sport exhaust with their catless x-pipe with 4 resonators (this is what I'm looking to replace my Meisterschaft with). For you guys that have this set-up or have heard it, how would you describe it? I saw a few videos on youtube, but the video quality on most of them are horrendous.

Right now, my car is loud, but its missing that "high-pitch" that you get with a catless xpipe. I'm hoping the gintani sport/catless xpipe is reasonable, yet comfortably loud (if that makes sense).


What do you guys think. Any help would be appreciated.

Go with the Gintani Sport. The Gintani catless X pipe + Miesterschaft GT2 would be obnoxiously loud like you said. I would combine the Gintani X pipe with the Gintani Sport exhaust. It will sound great.

if you dont mind, how much extra power are you putting down with what you're running now?

They advertise 5-15hp with the GT2 axle-back (so probably minimal, Id say 5whp is optimistic)....I honestly couldnt feel a differece at all, but I doubt anyone can with an axle-back..
