GTHaus Exhaust - C400/C450
I think alot of people have been waiting for them to release a video and i stumbled upon it today and thought I'd share.
Thoughts? I like the ability to control the sound a bit and has good gains through the range.

From some pics on the web it doesnt seem like the Meisterschaft exhausts are true dual exhaust as I don't see the two straight pipes and an x-pipe in the setup. I just ordered the AWE tuning track exhaust to be installed on the first week of August for less than 1/3 of the cost of GThaus's with installation. Awe tuning's exhausts are true dual setups and I believe the track edition does sound louder than the GTHaus's if I'm not mistaken

This GThaus is a lot of cash for a set of bypass mufflers.

So here is the deal we have all three versions of the exhausts the 2 awe and the miesterchaft. Yes miesterchaft is more expensive. Yes it's not a true dual exhaust but for anyone wanting to add down pipes you are going to want to go with miesterchaft. The pipes that they used relieved a lot of back pressure on the exhaust. They went with a single pipe for a reason. If you are only buying the unit to have the valves it's not for you. The sound is truly amazing and we will be doing reviews of each. All are good relative to what they are meant to do.

+1 Cajun, the Meisterschaft exhaust with the downpipes will sound INSANE...guys google the meisterschaft GTR with downpipes....the turbos whistle like hell on that car and our C450s will sound nearly the same

I wish AWE would produce some downpipes compatible with their exhaust suite for the 400/450/43.

If there's no dp that can be fitted into the awe exhaust, I can assume you that this exhaust will not sell well.
The only real ways to make power are from a tune and dp. Cat backs are unfortunately just sound makers as well.
I just don't like what the true dual exhaust does to the noise the car makes.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I prefer the GTHuas to the AWE sound. AWE is definitely priced more appropriately, but valved exhausts are always expensive.
