Meisterschaft GT2, Gintani, or AK? Please Help!

Hey guys,
I'm currently living in Shanghai (originally from California) and my brother in law just bought a new 2011 E92 M3. He was talking to me about what types of exhaust he was going to put on it and we narrowed it down to three. Because youtube is not available in China, we can not watch any of the videos that are posted. We are using a similar site to youtube that has very few comparisons on the exhaust we are interested in.

We have narrowed it down to:
Meisterschaft GT2 w/ Titanium
Gintani Rear w/ Gintani Catless X-Pipe
AK??????

In China, the AK????? (i'm not sure exactly what model) is very popular. There are only a few places where we can buy the GT2 with Titanium. We are unsure of where we can find the Gintani.

Anyway, price is really not a concern, I was just wondering what people out of Asia think about my situation. I think the GT2 is by far the best but I heard that there is some resonance problems when the engine is idling or is under 2000 rpm. Is that true?

Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

If Price is not a concern go get a full Amuse Titanium Exhaust, I really love it. Minimal drone and has a really good sound. Some of my friends even love the sound more than their GT3s and Ferraris try to put it in as an option.


But among your options I would go for full Gintani

You should be able to see some movies already embedded on the posts on tha site (they don't link you to you tube?)

Anyway if $$ aren't the issue then go full titanium Akrapovic evolution.

+1 Akrapovic is also a good choice

Agreed, hoping this will be my next mod, the stock muffler sounds a bit nasty, lol.

Hey. I been followed E90POST for sometimes, Must say really surprise to see someone from Shang Hai. But I think I can give you some real feed back. Coz I am running tuning workshop. And I am dealer of AK, AA and Meisterschaft. I been install all of them onto M3s. get in touch with me, next time I call all the M3s, so you can heard the real sound and then decide which exhaust.

i fallowed few threads about exhaust here and most of the people recommends or uses AK even supercharged guys, but still on my personal i really like the Meisterschaft GT2 Titanium 2 w/ SP 1 + 2 loudest , why would no one suggest that full exhaust kit , or is there really something wrong with that exhaust that i am missing,

+1 Akra

weight saving + hp gain + no drone + sporty sound = Akra

if you don't like drone exhaust system? AKra or Bastuck!

I got the Fabspeeed HFC + Bastuck, but nothing like Akra
