Europipe on the Way

Look what is coming my way this week. Stef at Europipe put my first name on my newly ordered pipe just like Suman.

Does anyone have the gasket P/N for the between the CAT and the Turbo that I will need to purchase. How about new lock nuts on the Turbo Studs?

those lock nuts: Porsche Dealer (although Stef may include them)
You get the coolest tools and hardware with the Europipe. 100% satisfaction.
Expensive and built to stay that way.
They have the highest resale value to original cost which helps.
There is no gasket needed

Thanks guys, I was chocking on the cost of the o-ring, nuts, and washers. Ouch! $5 for an 8mm nut is nuts...

I use Silver Plated nuts at my work (Aerospace Stuff) to help lube and aid in the disassembly, and they cost about that much. These are just plain Cad Plated Hex Nuts.

I don't think I am going to drop the rear bumber cover. It looks like it is an easy tip-in-place job...

the rings on the end of the turbo I replaced. I believe they were 36 dolars a piece. Goodluck wih the best exhaust system on earth! I made 15 rwhp more then my fabspeed with it. GL

But my exhaust was 80mm piping and no corner canisters

You don't need to take the bumper off. Once you have the car on floor stands, use your floor jack to lower your old exhaust out, and raise your new one in, and it is a snap. I used a 2x4 to suuport the exhaust while doing this. I did replace the gasket between the turbo and the exhaust.

Just finished the install of my Europipe Loud 2. Everything went well and reused the gasket that is in the face of the turbo at the suggestion of Europipe. They said you can reuse it 3 or 4 times without any problems. I took about 1-1/2 hrs by myself from start to stop.

It really sounds great so far. I have the car up on jack stands and I am going to swap out my wheels and paint the disk hubs to pretty it up.

I can hardly wait to drive it...

To late for installation photos, job done and it slipped my mind. I wanted to do a comparison audio or video, but I was being a little self centered and wanted to just get the pipe on.

I'll see if I can do an audio clip, maybe tomorrow.
