Red face Another Shark-a-fied Turbo S with HRE's & Europipe

Somebody mentioned the Europipe yesterday so I figured I'd show you this 2011 Turbo S which came into us for a set of HRE CL40 Monoblock wheels in satin black and a Europipe Exhaust system to address the lackluster factory exhaust note.

On the chopping block...


Off comes the bumper:


Unpacked the exhaust itself is a thing of beauty:


You also get a very nice basket of tools but sadly no Belgian Chocolates! Very handy indeed:


A shot of the factory exhaust:


And those very dense stock cats:


Side-by-side shot:


On goes the Europipe:


From the belly:


Nice fitment from behind and the factory tips can be re-used. There is also no overhang from the rear either:


As you'd expect from Europipe the sound is very unique, clean/crisp and no resonance either.


Next up is a set of light-weight 19 inch HRE CL40 Monoblok wheels finished in satin black and wrapped with new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires:


And in the rear (check out the machining and weight savings in the spokes):


Ready to go home:



The more aggressive rear offset pushes the wheels out where they should be vs the "tucked-in" stock wheels:

Sorry I don't have that info. You'd need to ask them on that.
