With the new X5 release from BMW, we immediately jumped on the 50i M-Sport due to the twin turbo V8 laying under its hood! With that done, we’ve shifted our focus to the more practical X5 35i, housing BMW’s brilliant N55 engine (3.0L I6 Turbo).
We like the N55. We like it’s liveliness and its substantial power output. More importantly though, we love the sound it produces when paired with the right exhaust! So, we brought the right exhaust into existence.
Held to a standard of perfection, the Meisterschaft exhaust system is constructed using T-304 grade stainless steel and is TIG welded completely by hand.
As the X5 is more commonly a daily driver than anything else, we had to accommodate both luxury and sportiness – resulting in two main variations of exhaust which are well known under the Meisterschaft brand: GTS and GTC.
The Meisterschaft GTC (EV Control) is the easy choice here as it delivers the best of both worlds: luxury & sport performance. Our electronically controlled variable chamber (E.C.V.C) technology allows us to replicate the stock exhaust sound in closed mode, which is subtle and quiet but has faint sporty tone when you really get on the throttle. In open mode however, it is smooth, sporty & aggressive.
We also offer the Meisterschaft GTS, the GTS is more conventional and produces an aggressive note 100% of the time, not featuring a valve control function.
The unit we’re introducing now features 2x102mm Round Split tips on both GTS & GTC variations. The 102mm, or 4-inch, exhaust tips fit freely into the rear bumpers exhaust openings with a perfect gap all the way around.
We are also currently working on a 4x102mm Round Split version, for those who are looking for a very aggressive look at the back of their car. The 4x102mm will be introduced at a later date.
With our Meisterschaft axle-back installed, the car peaked at 250 horsepower on our all-wheel-drive mustang dyno, this was achieved with the GTC (EV Control) unit in the open position, making a total peak power gain of ~20HP and ~23ft/lbs of torque. In the closed position we saw 228HP and 236ft/lbs. So if it’s performance you’re after, open up that valve!
All in all we are very happy with the results of this new X5 35i. It sounded great and made excellent power once equipped with a Meisterschaft exhaust!
Why GTHAUS?
Sound, performance, and build quality. Since the beginning, we at GTHAUS have strived to set our brand above the rest, we’ve done so by combining these key components: Sound, Performance, Build Quality.
Style
Meisterschaft Premium exhaust systems utilize traditional and modern styling to create the world’s most advanced exhaust system. From the high polish exterior finish to the marvelous hand welds, Meisterschaft exhaust systems look as beautiful as they sound..
Sound
Second to none. Meisterschaft, MUSA, and American Roar Racing exhaust systems provide the most unique exhaust notes that you’ll find in the industry, period. Our exhaust systems are custom tailored to each specific vehicle without the use of any universal parts. Countless hours of R&D are undergone to achieve pitch perfection from each vehicle. The result is an exhaust system that is as well tuned as a fine musical instrument, delivering an exotic, unique, and aggressive sound.
Performance
Our Meisterschaft, MUSA, and American Roar Racing exhaust systems are engineered to provide maximum power gain at the wheels. Power gains are realized using a state-of-the-art all-wheel-drive Mustang Dynamometer at our in-house research and development facility. Performance can be maximized if Meisterschaft rear muffler sections are used in conjunction with optional mid-pipe section(s) and/or catalytic replacement section(s).
What is the difference between GTS and GTC?
GTC (EV Control) exhaust systems are the world’s most technologically advanced units on the market. The GTC exhaust system utilizes electronic valves which control the “open” and “close” functions of the exhaust system. This allows the user to control the sound level, exhaust back pressure, and overall vehicle performance.
The GTS (Ultimate Performance) exhaust systems are engineered for enthusiasts who want a no nonsense exhaust system that will perform and produce a superior sound at all times.
Build Quality
Meisterschaft, MUSA, and American Roar Racing exhaust systems are 100% hand-built. Each exhaust system is carefully TIG-welded by our artisan fabricators using only the best available materials. Our stainless steel (SUS) systems are produced using Type 304 stainless steel and high grade titanium alloy for our Titanium (Ti) exhaust systems.Using high grade materials enhances the durability and lifespan of the exhaust system.
As such, Meisterschaft exhaust systems do not suffer from corrosion when exposed to the elements, so there’s no need to worry about rust developing over time. Meisterschaft exhaust systems utilize the highest quality and most durable glass wool pack. Using the best materials allows Meisterschaft exhaust systems to endure the extreme temperatures and conditions it faces on a daily bases which aids to the longevity of the exhaust systems.
Premium Materials
Meisterschaft uses only the highest grade T304/T316 stainless steel sourced from POSCO to create Meisterscahft stainless steel (SUS) exhaust systems. Premium titanium alloy from Nippon Steel and POSCO are used in the construction of Meisterschaft titanium (Ti) exhaust systems.
Product Selections
GTHAUS is the Global distributor of Meisterschaft Premium exhaust systems. Meisterschaft products are sold in various performance levels, tip styles and finishes to suit individual specifications and requirements.
Weight Savings
Meisterschaft exhaust systems are significantly lighter than the Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) unit’s overall carrying weight. Meisterschaft stainless steel (SUS) exhaust systems typically weight 35% to 50% less than the OEM units. In addition to our stainless steel exhaust system, our titanium (Ti) exhaust system offers a weight reduction of 75% to 80% when compared to the OEM unit..
Quality Assurance
Meisterschaft exhaust systems go through a series of vigorous inspections to assure the highest quality product. Units are pre-tested and quality control checked after every step of the manufacturing process. All final inspections are performed by chief engineers to guarantee perfection.
