I really have no clue how to post Youtube videos but here are my links. The first one is cold start up with stock setup of my 2016 GS F. The second video is with my mufflers deleted.

Hola! I had to settle for my local shop's stainless tips. I ordered a custom stainless steel set off the interned that were sweet but they were 4" tips and they were too large to fit so I had to go with what they had in stock. Still happy with them though.

Ok. Back from the dead.
I am contemplating either a full exhaust or just an axle-back. Which one has the most restriction? The mid-section or the axle-back.
I also looking at the quietest, free-flow exhaust setup. I am primarily looking at eliminating flow restriction as much as possible while keeping loudness/drone to a minimum. I am not looking to impress at all with the sound but rather to minimize noise increase above stock.

I just installed the GTHaus Meisterschaft axle-back exhaust. Its the SUS GTC version, I am very statisfied!
Cabin noise is minimal with open valves and stock-like when closed. I dialy drive the car, now it has the proper exhaust sound I was looking for.
The project wasn't cheap though: I paid $5000 (incl. shipping) +$2500ish for tax+duty+install
Here are some clips:

Hey brotha,
First off, your GSF YouTube Videos are awesome! I’ve watched all of them and found them very insightful! One of your videos showcases the muffler delete job you had. From what I can hear, it sounds amazing and wayyy better than these $1500+ exhaust systems out there. I’m thinking about doing the same thing but have a couple questions before I pull the trigger. 1) Does the car drone at cruisinspeeds 45, 60, and 70 mph? And 2) If your phone is hooked up to Bluetooth, when you talk to people, can they hear the exhaust in the background? I’m constantly on phone calls for work and use the Bluetooth a lot, but am worried the deeper note will be too loud for phone calls. 3) what size pipes did you use- 2’, 2.5’, or 3’ in?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Anthony

so there is no drone at any speeds, when you are on highway speeds the best i can describe it is if you are accelerating you hear the exhaust and when u just cruising its very quiet.. on long highway trip i drive in eco mode since it dumbs down the throttle so its very quiet.
when the phone is connected you do not hear the exhaust
and i used 2.5 inch pipe

Given I'm hearing a recording and not in real-life, I have to say that car sounds FABULOUS. I'd buy that system based on what i heard in that clip, and your experience with it.

^^ $2000 for the midpipe + shipping.
I had to pay $900ish for shipping the axle-back part to EU, GTHaus told me, they would reduce shipping cost to $200 if I order the midpipe aswell. But it would also raise the overall costs by $1300 ($2200-$900), which was over my budget.*
Given that changing the midpipes voids my warranty (here in EU) and that I was afraid it could make my F too loud for my taste, I declined the midpipe order. Later maybe I will look for resonated midpipes like Apex-i, but not sure yet..
*: honestly the whole project is over my budget, my gf reminds me every day, how many shoes and bags could I have bought to her from this money lol.. but in the end of the day and after cruising some time I just feel like $ spent well

I currently run a Greddy SP axle back but am planning to switch it back to my stock exhaust next week and put my Greddy up for sale. I have plans of either custom fitting an RC F Borla cat-back system to my GS F or doing what another member here (gsfdream) did and get a custom muffler delete built. But if I can somehow convince and squeeze in a tiny but more budget, I'd love to get the GTHaus GTC axle back like yours or run a Meisterschaft midpipe with stock mufflers. But I just have to be patient on when this can all happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was in the same boat, you have to decide what features are important for you.
My priorities were:
My priorities were:
- an enhanced deep and aggresive sound
- achieving this by keeping my midpipes stock
- valve control

Hey does anyone know who's GSF this is?
I'd love to know if they have any drive by clips or if anyone knows of someone who has a novel headers/gthaus full exhuast setup with more videos. I'm interesting in comparing novel/novel to novel/gthaus.
Thanks
