If money wasn't an issue I would go with the GTHAUS Meistershaft.. Although it is the price of a beater or motorcycle lol

I went with the GTHAUS Meistershaft. As the previous poster stated its not the cheapest. I went for the cat back and it was around 5k. There are several good exhausts out there. What do you want out of the exhaust? HP? Sound? Looks? The JoeZ and Apexi are also ones you should check out. Congrats on your RCF.

I was basically looking to upgrade the sound of the car. Seemed a bit too quiet from factory. Aesthetics and HP gains are a close 2nd and 3rd. Another question that is totally off topic. I will be away on vacation for about 3 weeks. Do you guys think that a battery tender/charger is needed for this car? My dad keeps his Ferrari and Maserati on those due to dead batteries, exploded batteries, etc after not being driven for at least 1-2 weeks.

WOW congrats on the new purchase!! I've said this many times before... I love this color combo. The white with the red interior is awesome.

There are a good number of different exhaust systems out there now. It seems as though the RCF platform has really picked up and is catching the attention of different performance parts vendors.

I'm sure in the near future, we'll see more and more vendors producing aftermarket parts for this car.

With regards to exhaust, did you want something that is stainless steel or titanium?

A'PEXi makes a nice looking stainless steel with titanium tip option that sounds really good. We've installed a couple of those on some of our local customer's cars. The price is pretty reasonable and it looks pretty good.

Powerhouse Amuse in Japan just released their titanium system. We're waiting on the first system to arrive as we already have it on order. Amuse makes some of the best exhaust systems in the world. The overall build quality is amazing and they sound incredible. We use Amuse exhausts on almost all of our shop demo cars.

Rowen in Japan also makes an incredibly awesome titanium exhaust with individual quad mufflers. This one is also variable valve system so you can electronically adjust the sound and noise level of the exhaust by opening and closing a valve. This is probably one of the most if not the most gorgeous exhaust in the world for the RCF; however, the price for this system is up there so just be aware.

Joe Z I heard has a nice system. I haven't had too much experience with his products but from what I've heard they're built nice and his exhausts sound good. I hear the price is also reasonable too.

I hope some of this helps. Good luck with the car!! I'm sure you'll have TONS of fun with it.

I went with Joe Z's. It's been two months now and the sound is addictive. Great system for the price.

How do you like the sound? I've been try to listen to videos on YouTube but couldn't quite get a good idea of how it sounds. Is it considerably louder than stock because that's what I'm looking for.

You can't get much louder yet quality with the Meisterschaft electronically remote controlled valve open. Too much for you? Hit the wireless remote and close it up. Perfect town driving when you're not trying to wake the neighbors.. yet low growl goodness. Oh yeah, don't forget about the +40 WHP..


Do we get to debate about coil overs again soon too?
