Default GTHAUS Meisterschaft exhaust installed on GSF

First of all the name Meisterschaft is too hard for me to remember.
This was a 6 month long waiting for my new exhaust to come, however the wait pays for the quality, it is simply amazing
the build quality is superior and the sound is gorgeous, it has a valve but the tech of it is very old, simply i have to press the button several second to make it open or close.
However, i think i ordered the one click open close option, i ll check with GTHAUS.
The sound is louder in a good way, there is no drone but i hope it could be quiet bit under 2000RPM.
I only got the axis back from GTHAUS, I have mid pipe from apexi and PPE header and GESI high flow cat
So the car is pretty civilize when i need it to be and pretty wild when i press the gas.
i ll upload the video very quick, please enjoy the photo.
The install take 4 hours and mainly for get that valve connect to the car, i got power from the light inside trunk.
The tip is wider than our stock one, so i need cut my toms diffuser to fit it.
After Driving for a while i feel the sound in high rpm range just unbelievable good,the car sound like a beast and only waiting for my supercharge kit to arrive
Shift feels faster, because there is no more restriction on exhaust flow like stock, so the sluggish shift response just go away. Actually the transmission itself isn't that slow, just the input lag in paddle shift makes it feel slow. However with this exhaust, the lag goes away and even downshift is much smoother and enjoyable. Now it is doing downshift properly.

I like that. Would the stock diffuser need to be trimmed? It seems like it has a little more room around the exhaust tips than the TOMS CF Diffuser.

Question

Question:

What's the reason you're running a "GESI high flow cat" is because of the "SMOG" inspection check in CA?...

The reason why I'm asking is because the "Apex-I" mid-pipe connects directly onto the Equal Length PPE Headers etc...back...

By the way, it sound BAD SS...

I can't wait to see your car BTED...

because the smell of car is terrible without the cat and it has no low end torque when i just installed the PPE header, also it is too raspy. The cat solve the problem and give me much low end torque
Nothing to do with SMOG, no need for smog before own the car 6years. I just dont want to have a gas mask when i drive my car. i ran the cat less on turbo car before, there is no problem of smell, maybe NA car doesnt have such good combustion efficiency as turbo car, so there is a smell issue.

Also apexi is directed fit to the header. cat is in the mid pipe

With you going back to BT it will change that Air/Fuel mixture...Plus, you got your PCM flushed; therefore, you may tune that out as well...

Wow now I might just have to buy one too. So I wonder if the Meisterschaft exhaust will bolt up to the Apexi midpipe? Anybody know?
