Meisterschaft GT.... drone?
Thinking of going with the Meisterschaft GT and I was curious if anyone who had experience could comment on drone. As in... is there any? Just the axleback system at this point and not mids or DPs. Any info would be appreciated. I hate drone and would like to avoid it if at all possible. Thanks!
BTW if there's an existing post on this, apologies. I did look, but didn't see anything specific to the GT with the rest of the exhaust left stock. |

I'm extremely satisfied with the Touring HP and my buying experience from execstudio.com, but sometimes I wished I had gone with the GT instead, so it should be an excellent choice for you. pge |

I don't have a drone, and I have the GT axleback with no other mods. If you want to swing by the SFV, I'd be happy to take you for a spin.
It's gotten rather quiet after some miles. |

Regardless of the axle back you chose it should not drone. The drone comes from your mid-pipes when you dont have a cat. Even with catless dp's and a muffler it does not drone so long as you have a stock mid-pipe.
Get what ever muffler you want and enjoy it! Also mesiterschaft is a great choice, only one I prefer is eissimann but it is a LOT more. If you are not planing on doing mid pipes, which there is not much of a reason to unless you go catless and then it WILL drone, you should get the race. It will sound more aggressive and have a better note and wont drone.

I have the GT axle-back with no other exhaust mods. I absolutely love it. IMO it's the perfect amount of sweet, sweet noise. It's not too loud and not too soft. (I had a ton of concern it may be too loud after watching the YouTube videos. They do not represent the db amount very well.) The note is pure bliss! No drone.

Thanks all for the information. Much appreciated. That makes the buying decision so much easier. I guess the question now is where to buy. I've seen nothing but positive posts about execstudio.com and they are fairly local.
I thought I saw a post a few days ago by an execstudio.com rep mentioning they had sold out of all Meisterschaft systems. I'll call to confirm, but if that is the case any other suggestions? |

I got mine from Execstudio also. He can set up a drop ship straight from the factory, so you'll have it quickly. Mine was drop shipped and I got it within a week or so.

Which finish did you get on the tips? I'm considering the black chrome tips but have heard they're not worth it and not that noticeable. |

I've the full catback system, Zero drone, awesome exhaust. I've gotten So Many complements since I've it for over 6mo. If you get drone, you might have forgotten to put in the stock rubber block on the new muffler.
The black chrome is really NOT noticeable. I don't know how to describe it, it's nice, but if you're thinking it'll look anything like our stock tips, you will be in for a surprise. If I've to describe the color, the closest thing that I can think of is those Anti Static Bag that ship with your computer parts (hard drive, video card, motherboard, ram, etc...). These are the pics I took when I got it. |

My bad for reviving this thread but anyone running Meisterschaft GT axle back with N55 mids? It's the exact setup that I'm running and it drones a bit around 2000 rpm. I wonder if aftermarket mid pipe might help reduce this drone. Anyone paired GT axle back with berk mids?
