Another Europipe Install

My europipe was finally installed. All can say is ******. This thing is amazing. Only heard one cold start and it was killa, wish I could hear it everytime I started my car. WOT is crazy and sound echoes all over the place. Under normal acceleration, car sounds normal and very similar to stock with a deeper growl. Very little resonance. I expected the exhaust to be a little louder but I am hoping it gets louder. The only thing I do not like is the idle is way to quiet for me especially after the cold start. If you are a normal person and do not like annoying sounds between 2-3k rpm go with europipe. The only thing I hate is the price. One more thing, this exhaust still keeps the porsche sound, not tacky sounding like most exhausts out there.

Bottom line--EUROPIPE has no substitute

How many miles before exhaust get louder? I may be taking a few road trips.

It is sweet isn't it. You may never play your stereo again. Its great when you go under over passes on the highway. I assume you go the Stage 2 Loud?

Nice way to start the morning.

Might get a little louder over time. Cold start is the best. Puts a smile on my face every time.

Have you felt any improvement from a performance perspective?

This is the complete opposite of my experience. Mine drives me nuts from 2-3k. How come?

Yes, I can feel the performance gains, makes a huge difference especially at low rpms. Throttle response is incredible now. I only hear a little resonance from 2-2.5k rpm that does not even bother me. I guess it just depends on the person but its very minimal. Periokid, get the AWE, the sounds is sweet and still very loud.

Periokid,

Don't feel bad. My Europipe Quiet is pretty annoying on the highway. It may not be resonance but it is louder and does make it harder to do business via a cell phone. It sounds great otherwise.

Pierre996TT, I heard the cargraphic videos and it sounds fairly similar to the europipe. Have you heard the europipe in person?

I have heard all of the exhausts so far except for the Ruf, and except for the 911 sport exhaust the Europipe is the best. I wish I could here the RUF though!
