My full exhaust is dead silent if I am cruising and not on the gas. Even with my SC under 3K it has a deep/throaty tone. I am sure you will enjoy it 
High RPMS is very nice.
Check this out as I pieced everything together.

I'm gonna look into it a little more. You've opened up my options. Thanks for all the input.

I've been looking for exhausts recently and I think I've decided on the Mesiterschaft axle-back (stainless). But i have a few concerns. I DD my car and I leave my house at about 6 AM and I'm afraid of waking my neighbors.
So here are my questions:
1. If I keep my RPMs down and don't go too fast, how quiet is the exhaust? Is it manageable?
2. I'm also concerned about attracting attention from cops. How is it on the highway? I'm thinking 6th gear, 2000 RPMs, is it still loud?
3. Can you hold a conversation when driving around regularly? I usually have passengers in the car.
I just need an exhaust that's quiet around town but crazy when I want it to be. Also, if anyone has a video of the exhaust when driving around regularly, that would be great. All the videos on youtube are high-revving or WOT pulls. If you have a video or a link that shows what it's like during normal driving I'd really appreciate that. Thanks

It can be quit during cruising rpm and you can definitely feather the gas between gears for quitter shifting. Its only loud on higher rpm around past 3500 rpm- 5500rpm then it dies down. It has a unique tone for sure its hard to explain it, until you hear it in person. It also depends what catalytic converter or test pipe you have. I had a fast intention resonated test pipe with IPL h-pipe and mid section. It was very loud and open lol so I change it up with Art test pipe. Its more deeper sounds now and eliminate few high pitch I didnt want. It sounds more like a VQ tone but deeper and louder. On the highway "zero" drone for sure at 2000rpm-2500rpm. So quit that you can hear someone beside you talking and your stereo playing. The only disadvantage is ordering it since its custom exhaust, so prepare to wait 6-10 weeks max. If they have it in stock from Gthaus then your lucky. Make sure you call Gthaus directly to find out if your ordering it from a authorize dealer. Fitment were 10/10 and same with finishing, well worth the money I've spent. Yes it cost over $2G's but if you have it why not lol. I made few youtube video just look up "Gthaus IPL" I will make a another video soon with normal driving and inside video of the tone. Cheers

Cheers I've heard the ARK and it's a little too tame for my taste, I want something a littler louder.

I have a Motordyne E370 w/ ART pipes, it's quiet under 3.5k and SCREAMS up until 8K(tuned). It can be very quiet pulling out of the neighborhood if you go slow, but the problem is that it's not loud per say, but rumbles a good amount, it will shake your house windows. This will be toned down if you keep your stock cats.
It's extremely tough to capture on camera as most of the note of the E370 is pretty much pure bass/rumble, so it doesn't translate very well onto a camera recording. Trust me, it sounds mind bogglingly good. Also, no drone on the highway, honestly it's probably quiet if not quieter than stock. You can easily pass cops and they would have a tough time telling. I haven't heard a Meistershaft in person but they seem somewhat similar.
Also, please don't get ARK, I've seen way too many problems with them.

What about just the look and sound of meisterschaft
I'm more than happy with the power of my G, so would it be safe to say if you only wanted to get the M/S axle back exhaust with a stock setup, it would be a waste? Meaning only to make the car look and sound nicer.

I have been through many exhausts (HKS/Fast Int./Tanabe) The power gains may be different between X/Y/H pipe configurations but going from one exhaust to another I really didn't notice enough to choose one over another. My decision was based on sound/looks and practicality and of course quality/fitment. Meisterschaft won me over in terms of sound mainly because my ultimate goal was LOUD but being lowered car friendly was another. Many great choices but if you have the funds for GTHAUS then why not.

Same here, not looking for more H/P, just a better sounding exhaust and I really like the look of the M/S. At least the M/S exhaust will hold it's value if you decide to sell.

Meisterschaft vs IPL Pipes
I'm considering replacing my stock IPL exhaust with the Meisterschaft exhaust, primarily for sound and looks. If I were to replace the entire cat-back exhaust, would the Meisterschaft Y-pipe be considered a downgrade from the IPL H-pipe in terms of performance? Would it make more sense to just replace the axle-back section and keep the other IPL pipes stock? Thanks.

As far as everyone asking about power, all of them will be relatively similar. Motordyne will likely have the most gains, as it is a set up that is optimized for flow. Meisterschaft will likely have marginally less due to the bends/canisters. Cat back is going to be one of the least gains as far as power, the intake/cats are the most restrictive parts powerwise. You will still gain power however.
Let us know how you like it 
As if none of the others would? I bought Motordyne for my G35 for $1250 used and sold it a year later for $1250. I bought the E370 new for the G37 for $1600 and it's fairly common for them to go for around $1400 used.
