Sorry, can you pinpoint where I said "No exhaust will make much of a difference?" I said the Eurohype wont.

Who cares at lower RPM. BOttom line is if you race two cars side by side in a 1/4 mile or 1 mile race, the one with the fabspeed would win.

Sure the europipe has great looking construction, great welds, etc. etc.... What about power. End of discussion.

I agree, horsepower is more important in the upper Revs. Shank is telling it like it is. Fabspeed here here.

Shank, which exhaust did you go with for the GT2?

You are a funny guy

Most people want the power down low, where they can use it on a daily basis.

I never said where HP is more important, I simply pointed out that the Europipe makes more power in the lower/mid RPM band.

I personally like the EP but you are never going to see much less than 5000rpms after 1st gear at WOT.

I call EP my happy pipe. Those who say they have the ROOCK version cannot offer a valid comparison since what they have in essence was an upgraded muffler. ROOCK uses 300 cell cats, the same as stock. Europipe uses 100 cells cats, hence much less backpressure and much more power. Europipe's reputation speaks for itself in Europe. They are far and away more technically sophisticated than the other after market manufacturers and this is validated by the fact that they were building racing exhausts exclusively for 10 years prior to offering street pipes. Manthey racing is the foremost tuner for Porsche's on the Pro racing circuit and uses Europipe to fabricate all of their designs. There is no better designed or constructed exhaust out there and you pay for that privilege...Just my 5 cents..

No one said you said that.. Sorry I should have used a comma after "above" so you could understand my post. I said that.

Maybe if you took as much time to read the post as you do trying top bash EP you could have figured out I left out a comma.... Sorry

This is useless... There are MANY satisfied EP owners on this board and many Fabspeed also. I guess if EP was a sponsor you would be more objective towards there products.

Maybe if you took as much time inserting the comma, your post wouldn't have been mis read. In anycase, it looks like you want to enter into a pissing match. I responded to his question, again, if you took as much time reading the initial post.......

Anyhow, no point in keeping this thread open, it looks like this will turn into a pissing match.

This has nothing to do with sponsorship. If a 6speed onwer/admin happens to share his experience or opinion, I guess I can expect this "if they sponsored attack"? But thanks for the cheap shot. I guess I couldn't have expected anything else.

Actually, I just browsed Scargo's website in search of the dyno results. I failed to find it. Can you pease send me the link to they dyno sheet. Perhaps it is just me, but amongst all the uploaded pictures of the "killer angel supercar," I must have missed the dyno results. Can you please send me the link.
Sorry Ryan, I don't intend to post Killer Angel's latest dyno run. She is bone stock. Trust me.

If you want an exhaust that will produce the most power, fabspeed.
Why don't you find a turbo or GT2 with a legal exhaust of your choice and run her against Killer Angel. Killer Angel has a Europipe exhaust. I guess she and her Europipe exhaust will get beat.

Oh, last time I checked my Europipe exhaust was tuned for Killer Angel's stock motor.

Gee, I should hope the "Killer Angel West Coast Dyno Queen" should beat a GT2 with a fabspeed exhaust. ...... at $500,000 more.

Your talking Apples and Oranges. If you want some sort of confirmation that your car produces the most HP, you win Chad..hands down. Happy? This isn't about Killer Anger VS. Shank's car. I am reiterating, that I was responding to Arnie's questions of anyone disliking or chosing not to go with Europipe, and I simply expressed my reason.

In any case, As Gary stated, there are several happy memebers of EP and Fabspeed. It also appears there are other reasons than "most power" that people chose their exhausts. Glad to see we're not all alike.

So Gary, Chad, Dan......Though I disagree with some of your comments, as I am sure you are with mine....... No harm meant on this end.

Peace,
Shank

Now Ryan, let's not exaggerate.

"Killer Angel West Coast Dyno Queen"
Now, how can Killer Angel be the "Dyno Queen" without a dyno sheet? Isn't comments like this getting a little personel?

Your talking Apples and Oranges.
No, just a stock turbo and a GT2. Hey, how did a GT2 get into this?

If you want some sort of confirmation that your car produces the most HP, you win Chad..hands down. Happy?
Never, said it was anything but stock. We are simply comparing exhausts.

Ryan, this whole discuession is cracking me up. Both exhausts perform very well. I stand by my previous statement. You wouldn't be able to notice the small difference "power wise" in the end results on a track or a strip between the two exhausts on identical cars.

Yes the Fabsped makes more power. But the flip side is I know of three people who have sent back thier exhausts to Fabspeed because of cracks in the muffler including myself. The craftmanship on the bypass valves is very poor as well. One did not align properly on my car and burned the back of my bumper. I am trying a protoype exhaust in the next couple of weeks and will keep everyone posted. From what I have seen the craftmanship on the Europipe looks amazing. For someone who does not want to heavily modify thier car Europipe is a great option. For the nutty guys who who are on the search for endless horsepower Europipe will not suffice.

Duane,

Now you are calling me a nut. I wouldn't tell Killer Angel the "Europipe will not suffice." It will really hurt her feelings.

Oh, for the record, besides Killer Angel, I believe Manthey uses Europipe exhausts.

Ryan,

You know me. I love to take the opposite side just for the fun of it. You and I have been through too many disagreements to let this little thing get in the way of a friendship. Now back to the disagreement.

Fabspeed Quiet is an oxymoron.

If resonance is at all a concern, I would not buy a Fabspeed. It make great power, but also tremendous resonance.

To each his own I guess and I can understand some people prefer a quiet exhaust etc.. I just happen to be very happy with my loud Fabspeed exhaust. I like the way it sounds and was really happy to see it do so well in Stephen's tests... It made the most power and is it quiet? Hell no but I don't care
