But the price makes it a weak value proposition IMO.
The Vossen video makes it sound quite nice. However, this link sounds like absolute garbage.

The 3IS and 4GS come with true dual factory exhausts that are pretty free flowing, which allows them to perform well.

However, being the "enthusiasts" that we all are. We all love to change or enhance our cars.

It's pretty simple.

  • If you are looking for a nice exhaust system with just a slight change in sound and a decent performance gain, JoeZ makes an outstanding system.

  • If you are looking for a nice exhaust system with a drastic / exotic change in sound and a decent performance gain, Meisterschaft makes an outstanding system.

In my honest opinion, the FSPORT axle back is a waste of money for that kind of price, you can get some universal Greddy or Apex-i mufflers and have a local exhaust shop fabricate some piping and make you an axle back.

To clarify all of this, there is NO such thing as "this system is better than that one" in this case. It's all about personal preference. Some like to scream, some like to growl and some like to whisper.

Exactly, not to take away from Joe Z in any way his systems are great and proven but I tried getting one of his new systems before the release but was unsuccessful so I went with the Lexus f sport for now especially since the JM Lexus meet is coming up on Sunday who knows maybe I'll swap it up later on!

That is HUGE misinformation. GThaus does not sell replicas. The two companies split years ago. GThaus has a great following from sports cars to luxury cars to exotics.

Made in Korea is a bad thing? We live in a global economy and Asia produces amazing products, look no further than Samsung or Kia/Hyundai in Korea.

You're right, they don't sell "replicas" because they stopped after getting booked by Eisenmann, and they've "learned" (or stole) enough information from Eisanmann to know how to make their own products.
