Duane, I tried to reply but the thread would not let me in. Yes I did review the Imagine review and got a response from Stephen. He said that the Europipe used was Quiet. But on the Europipe video site it shows the Loud as being very very desirable.

 

From outside the cat the Exhaust sounds aggresive. From inside the car it is very quiet. Best of both worlds

 

Except it does not produce that great of numbers on the power side!!!!!!

 

I have the Stage 2 Loud and I am very happy with the sound and build quality. IMHO, the build quality is unequaled. I have not heard the Quiet version so I can't comment on it. The Loud version is not obnoxious, but at the same time, at startup and WOT the sound is to die for. It is a very refined exhaust in my opinion.

 

I think as an overall it is a great choice. It makes great power overall and certainly down low. There are trade offs in every muffler. The FS were a little slow to come in, but made more power. The test were more designed to give the potential buyer real use data based on their style, diving and wants. There is not one exhaust that is right for everyone

 

As posted on the other thread.. Quiet in Tampa, Loud in Jax... You can hear both is so desired..

 

Yes its a hard decision. I have the Ruf exhaust on my GT2 but on the TT I want a little more sound then the Ruf puts out and that is why at this point I am leaning towards the Europipe Stage 2 Loud. One thing is for sure however. Thanks to the work that Stephen and his team did to review most of the exhaust we are all light years ahead. IMHO, wish other professionals would do more of these studies to help us all out in the long run.
