The Meisterschaft sounds amazing, I just think it's suitable for a Ferrari. Too much for me.

I placed an order at Xmas for Fast Intentions, 2.5" pipes, 18" resonators. I figure the 18" resonators matched up to the resonated cats will allow for a decent in-cabin experience, 2.5" piping notwithstanding. (Knock on wood)
BTW, I'm still waiting for that hardware. Getting an FI order built and shipped is like waiting for a baby. Both get the wife equally cranky.

Now you're killing me Rochester, I am feeling like I'm more anxious for this delivery/install than you are lol. I am very interested in the FI RHFC and either ARK or FI CBE. I will be waiting with bated breath for the review on cabin drone, or lack thereof, and overall satisfaction with the purchase.

Since installing the RHFC, I was planning on following up with the ARK Grip, but switched at the last minute to FI for fears of fitment and clearance. Plus, the tips are LOL ridiculous, so it would have added an entirely new project (and cost) cutting those off and getting something appealing.
All that aside, the ARK makes an amazing sound. So does the Motordyne Shockwave, which has a similar design.
The Meisterschaft also sounds amazing, but I'm sure there would be times it embarrasses me, too. Plus, the cost is nuts, better left to people with different priorities than me, and brave enough to pursue them.

What was everyone's opinion on the Invidia Q300? Two winters in Chicago and my Topspeed exhaust has been destroyed by salt. Has anyone else done what this guy did to a RWD Q300?

Just saw in here that it's pretty quiet...Meh..Pass.

This was the video that sold me on the Meisterschaft.
This was a video I took with a GoPro (not the best sound quality), but it sounds amazing the higher the RPM. The down shifts are the best though...

That Meisterschaft sounds ridiculously good...and I'm with you where that may not always be a good thing for me. I don't want to draw that much attention to a car that's a little faster than an EcoBoost Mustang.
Since I'm wanting to do so much with mine, I think I'll leave the Meisterschaft off for now, and use that money to attack other sections of the car.

I just pulled the trigger on the Tanabe y-pipe and mid-pipe. Once I have it installed I will report back and let you guys know my thoughts.

Update on this. Tanabe does NOT make a mid-pipe that fits the sedan. So right now my options are:
1. Install Tanabe y-pipe only, with OEM mid-pipe, and Tanabe mufflers (makes no sense)
2. Install Tanabe y-pipe only, look for another mid-pipe, and Tanabe mufflers
3. Start search over for entire CBE, sell Tanabe mufflers
4. Leave as is
Anyone have any suggestions? I like the tone and sound of the Tanabe mufflers, I just want to hear/feel them a bit more inside the car. I've read about guys doing resonators, but I honestly don't know what that entails.

Here's my setup:
2.5" pipes from the cats into a magnaflow 11386 resonated x-pipe then 2.5" piping back to quad burnt tips. Cost me $475 for everything. The supercharger didn't change the exhaust note at all. Zero rasp, zero high pitched annoying sound and very minimum cabin drone. Very easy to daily drive with this setup.
