Exhaust Options F15 50i...

Most of the items I find are for the F85 and will not work on the F15 without significant modification and customization.

Does anyone on here know of any worthwhile exhaust upgrades for the 50i?

I stumbled across this below but know nothing about the brand or it's products.

I have the Meisterschaft GTC exhaust with non-resonated downpipes on my 50i. The sound is intoxicating...

Just wondering, how long did you have to wait for it?
The last time I order one, it took over 6 months. And nothing but promises.

i have an aversion to meisterschaft going back about a decade or so because of the way they started out and defrauded many customers with fake eisenmann exhausts (replicas) under their previous name of eisenhaus. they charged them full pricing pretending they were receiving the authentic product meanwhile selling them fake exhausts from china.

I don't think there are any distributors in the US for mariani products. But damn does it sound good. Deeper growl enhanced without being too loud or obnoxious.

I actually bought the truck with it already installed. I think if you search around on this forum you can find some details about the previous owners wait time, his username is x5jouster.

Lol. He waited long enough for that muffler.
He was furious with them on the promises and lies.

iconoclast , this is the only picture they have.

hey if you have all the time in the world... i dont think their is a better sounding or nearly as sexy exhaust as the GThaus Miestercraft.. the true dual tips look way meaner then the faux dual figure 8 AC tips...opinions tho

you sure are lucky for acquiring the vehicle with it installed haha! i miss that exhaust everyday....but my new hellcat sure comes close...

Currently waiting on a FI exhaust for the F15 X5 50i to come in Valvetronic and all. Looks exactly like a Meisterchaft exhaust minus the 6month wait time or so im told. Not holding my breath since it i holiday season now.

Heres link to X5M with oem down pipes

FI exhaust are cheap. Their main goal was to make a loud exhaust. They don't have intention to dyno it or make it to gain power.
I personally won't do it. X5 is an excellence car, I won't make it to sound like a obnoxious ricers.

Actually had Fast Intentions exhaust in my G35 coupe years ago and it was nice and sexy.

RG, I've been debating on the few exhaust options out there for the 50i

ACS just hate the damn exhaust tips

Hamann cant find it

Meisterchaft has unknown lead times

I guess I'll be the test dummy for these and then go from there. I'm hoping it sounds decent for the cost.

Would definitely get Meisterchaft if they had solid delivery times to be completely honest. But I don't want to hold my breath for two weeks and then end up frustrated because 2 weeks turned into 6 months.

Of all the cars I've ever owned an exhaust never had much gains and mainly for hearing pleasure.

Only one that ever gained was my old 300ZX TT and diesel trucks. But those were all turbo back unrestricted exhausts.

Catbacks never did much power gains. It was always the tune that went along with them that helped gain the extra HP and TQ

@iconoclast I feel the same way you do. Will update once it is in and take pictures before it's on for quality build etc and once it is on maybe do video and see how much it catches the exhaust note
