IS350 Exhaust Comparisons
Hey Guys,
Been a long time since I last checked the forum. Was living overseas with my car in storage. Now that I'm back, I'm considering replacing the axle-back portion of my ARK GRiP exhaust with the Meisterschaft axle-back MUSA GTC (valve controll) so that starting my car at 0500 in the morning doesn't **** off the neighbors.
But the GTHaus exhaust is super expensive. So I want to make sure I get my money's worth. Can anyone compare the Meisterschaft, with valve closed AND open, to the ARK GRiP? The very few videos on YouTube make it seem like the Meisterschaft with valve CLOSED is still almost as loud as the ARK GRiP, while valve OPEN is even LOUDER.
Any and all info on these two specific exhausts is appreciated. Unless someone knows of another valvetronic exhaust for the IS350 that is still in production, thanks!

When I bought the car I was in Baumholder. But that was 3 years ago. Just goes to show you how long it's been since I checked the forum. I'm desperate to know if the Meisterschaft with EVC closed is quieter than the ARK GRiP.
