Europipe exhaust

I am considering a new exhaust system for 996TT (X50) and need some input from people that have or have had one of their systems. Which system do you have and what do you like or dislike about the system you have such as sound level in and out of the car, ease of install, looks, etc.

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks guys. I did a search as XLR82XS suggested - lots of good info. Sounds (on pun intended) like the system will be purchasing.

The best way is to actually hear and compare.... many members usually end up with one exhaust but do not really have an honest comparison. I made one client a quiet version exhaust he complained it was loud. I made a race LOUD exhaust another said it waS TOO QUIET... LOL TRUST me when I say only trust your own ears as we all all have different perceptions of sound... to say the least...
good luck.

Only downside to the Europipe is weight.

good luck.

This is great advice, there are a lot of great options now...too many to choose X company just because someone said so. Find what you like, call them and discuss what would be best for you and what your looking for in an exhaust. Good luck with the search!

Our 996 Turbo stage 1 is one of our best selling exhausts in Europe.
It costs 2960 Euro / $3730 and weighs 4.5 kg / 10 Lbs less than the stock exhaust.

We have sold hundreds of Porsche sport exhausts to Swiss customers and Swiss Official Porsche Centres during the last 20 years ranging from 911 SC , 3.2L , 3.3L , 964 , 965 , 993 Carrera , 993 Turbo , Boxster , 996 Carrera , 996 GT3 , 996 Turbo , 996 GT2 , 997 Carrera , 997 GT3 , 997 Turbo , 997 GT2 and 997 GT2 RS. Never had any complaints, warranty issues nor CEL problems.
Earlier this week we sold another 997.2 Turbo S sport exhaust to another Swiss OPC.

Thanks and Cheers,
