working on a comparison video of exhaust sound from within the cabin while driving town/highway, might have it done by tomorrow but first priority is installing the RR Racing Intake that just got here today
No not really anything in particular. Anything you have helps a lot!

Here's a driving comparison video

I took another video today of some take-offs... haven't had time to edit it yet (maybe tonight) but after watching it I was smiling ear to ear, the car sounds so sick with this mid-pipe.

Ok well it was a short edit so here's the take-offs and some drive bys. The car sounds reasonably quiet driving by, I think if I had the full meisterschaft it would be a little too loud.

The GTHAUS is definitely louder and it has the ability to have valves. The exhaust MSRP is about $4k + $200 for the remote.
The Toms might be a better build quality, more tame, but has a very nice pitch to it. MSRP is about $2650.

We have some local people with the Toms exhaust on their GSF that we can help you listen to in person!

Installed my midpipe today and I'm in love with it! It sounds really good. I love the rumble on cold starts. Thanks for everybody's help! The axleback may come after the tax refund comes in.

Congrats! I have also ordered and installed the midpipe, now it’s completed as a full Gthaus catback system. The car is a BEAST now, I have some hasty video clips and I plan to make a comparison video.

Installing just the mid pipe, does it make the car smell since it will remove catalytic converters?

No it will not.

Replacing the primary cats will.

Man. I love the way it sounds. Thanks for posting that. I am seriously considering buying this mid pipe. Can you please send me the link to what you bought exactly? Is there any drone? Does it void the warranty? I am new to this. About how much would it cost to have it installed? Im assuming I could take it to a local muffler shop here in Ohio?
