Anyone with a GTHaus / Meisterschaft Exhaust?
I installed a catback Meisterschaft exhaust on my ZL1 today. I bought it as I loved the sound it produced. Deapite the high price, I thought it would be worth it. Build quality is fantastic and it looks great.
Problem is I am experiencing some terrible drone. Does anyone else have the same exhaust and experience the same thing? I’m extremely disappointed. I had a Borla ATAK previously that sounded great and had no drone at all. |

Why did you change if you were already happy with the Borla exhaust?

That’s when I started looking for a new exhaust (I considered everything). Spent many hours looking at videos and comparing the different sounds. GTHaus sounded different so I went for it. Only found good reviews, biggest complaint from people was cost. |

Drone is a hard issue to overcome because it’s usually due to the design inside the mufflers. You could try adding an X pipe, or a second X pipe if it already has one. If that doesn’t work you could try adding a set of resonators. Unfortunately there’s no magic fix.

Its not going to be a manufacturing issue. Its going to be a design issue. All mufflers have different sound characteristics based on their design. As stated above, you could try adding some resonators or an X-pipe or H-pipe if that system doesn't have one already. Muffler design has a huge role in reducing drone.

I’ve never been design responsible for exhaust systems, but I have a few friends that have. I don’t have any desire to arbitrarily throw parts at this system if it wasn’t designed well to begin with. While it’s a low chance, there is a chance it’s a manufacturing issue. Having one muffler packed incorrectly could easily cause done, especially considering the mufflers are connected. |

We have any Gthaus dealers in the GTA? I would love to hear how that sounds.
