My exhaust dilemma: Meisterschaft vs Amuse

What? Meisterschaft and Amuse make an exhaust for the sedan? The answer is yes. The Amuse exhaust is built by Access Evolution and they are the only one's who are authorized to make it. Last week I got a call from GTHaus informing they are taking preorders for their Meisterschaft exhaust that will drop sometime in January. For the past week I have been going back and forth between the two because they are both very unique and have different sounds. The Meisterschaft will have more of an aggressive, exotic sound while the Amuse is more quiet. The pricing is also a difference, the Meisterschaft being 3k while the Amuse being around 5k. The Meisterschaft will have the options of the split round tips or the split oval tips while the Amuse only had round tips. Obviously if I go with the Meisterschaft I would not swap out the stock cats so not to enhance the sound even more since I do drive this car daily for the time being. I'm having a problem deciding, I keep going back and forth on the two. I also haven't asked to see if the valve control module can be modded to work with this to get the Meisterschaft to change volume when I want. So I ask, anyone have opinions or thoughts that might help me in my decision. Some people might throw some things out there I haven't thought of. I am not going with Ark or FI so dont say that.

I heard a few sound clip of the Meisterschaft on the G coupe and Z and it's loud as fack! And seeing that price doesn't seem to really be a factor for you, I d say go all the way and get Amuse.

Note: I accidentally voted for Meisterschaft instead of Amuse not sure how to reverse it.

Do your research on GTHaus before you buy a product from them. I won't say anything more about that.

I'm assuming that the Meis is stainless steel, and the Amuse is Ti. Either way, 3K for stainless and 5K for Ti is absurd. Any exhaust on the market makes within a couple of HP of each other, so it comes down to construction and sound. Even considering that, the end result, IMO, doesn't justify the cost.

My Eisenmann for my 3 was stupid expensive, mostly because it had to be imported from Germany. Construction was TOP notch, and the sound was like no other and it was still less than the Meis exhaust.

Unless, of course, you're a brand ***** who has to have "Brand X" exhaust, just to say you have it.

I don't know man, if I pay 5k for an exhaust, it better drop all the panties when I hit the gas.

The Meisterschaft also comes in fully-titanium, which is also what makes it 3k expensive. I absolutely love how the Meist. sounds! It's very exotic and more Italian-like. The only problem is with how loud it is--although I wouldn't mind the little bit of loud while saving 2k from getting the Amuse. This is a very contradicting dilemma, lol. If loudness isn't a problem for you, go with the Meisterschaft. If you value credibility and craftsmanship, go with Amuse. I'm not sure where Amuse exhausts are made, but I know that Meis. is made in Korea, and that kinda kills it for me. I want it to be German or JDM, at least, for 3k. All in all, if Eisenmann made exhausts for our cars, I would ball on that.

EDIT: Nevermind what I just said; go with the Amuse if you're willing the 5k! I'm voting for that. If price wasn't an issue for me, it would be my choice.

The cost of the Amuse is something that is also holding me back.

they only use the rs-silent. if it was the r titan this wouldn't have been a hard decision.

Meisterschaft is loud but does sound great as long as u keep the stock manifolds and cats. Once you start adding it sounds like **** haha. Titanium would be nice too and 2k less. I was once really considering it.
