GTHaus….amazing quality and extremely loud…If I didn't have Tommy Kaira's exhaust I would have went with GTHaus.

Your video is this car, he's a member here..IAMJVDOG I think…You can hear it below as well..

GThaus is more raspy while the Joe Z sounds very smooth. I'm very curious on how the Tommy Kaira exhaust sound!

I'm very curious on how the AIMGAIN Loop exhaust sounds! Something about Quad-tips that I totally dig on this car.

Really depends on your budget and I believe the videos posted above have the full system installed and not just the axle back....maybe owner can chime in.

The price is the full system. I had it and sold it to my neighbor. It was too loud for my taste.

Will wait for the Joe Z system and see how that is.

The best way to describe it is like the old Tanabe Racing Medallion Series.

I would probably by neither. The x-pipes look weaksauce. The rest of the kit looks great for either.

I just contacted GTHAUS.

It is $1998 for the axle-back system. $1500 to make it cat back.

So yeah, we're getting the shaft because it's a new car. 2IS Meisterchaft axle-back is $998 and is a no-brainer at that price.

Gthaus sounds like this!!!!

Besides the truck-like sounding startup , the acceleration wreaks power and is quite impressive

But the price makes it a weak value proposition IMO.
