Seems like all the exhaust system manufactures keep improving their products. I'm considering replacing the stock system. The Europipe seems to get the best buyer feed back and the build quality looks the best. However I've heard that 100 cell cat may work at first, but cause CEL problems as they age. I looked at the AWE system with 300 cell cats, but don't care for the multipiece system with clamps holding it all together. Does Europipe (or any other one piece manufacturer) make a 200 to 300 cell cat system.

 

INteresting comment on the EP CEL problem due to aging 100 cell cats. Never heard that before. You sure about your information?

 

It's theoritical on the PCA website at the moment. I'm trying to find out if anyone has any real world experience with extensive miles on 100 cell cats.

 

I put approx. 30K KM on an EP2L with no issues.

 

Ty for the info Zip.. You're helping me make up my mind.

 

Done so many europipe's and never had any CEls... cars with more miles than Zippy's....

9000miles on my EP...never CEL related to exhaust! They do sound better with age!

 

I have a Europipe Loud on my car with over 40K. No cels here...

 

EP2L won't give you any issues.

 

i have 100 cell cats with 10k miles no CEL

 

Coming up on 23,000 miles with my EP, no problems whatsoever with 100 cell cats.

 

I had EP II quiet for 3 years, but only 8,000 miles. No CEL. My 2001 Turbo that I converted to Ruf R Turbo Spec has same 100 cell cats at the EP II and that car has never thrown a CEL either and it has 41,000 miles.
