997.2TT exhaust

Hi all,

I know the quality of the Europipe is second to none but is it worth the extra money over the Shark Werks 997.2 Turbo Exhaust? $4500 vs $1595? Is there a big different in sound between the two exhausts? What about performance gains in hp/tq? Thank you for any insights to this topic.

There ought to be moderate power differences between products as the EP system has more free flowing cats than your stock system and the SW system you are referring to uses your stock cats and only replaces the muffler (no performance gain, only sound quality changes).

Does the Europipe cat replacement even pass California emissions?

I agree, Im sure there is a slight power bump due to EP's 100 cell cats but EP exhaust looks too beautiful, I almost want to hang it up in my garage.

Thanks, it sounds better than it looks though.

Sure it passes the CA emissions, it would be useless selling an exhaust that doesn't pass the tests. Besides the CA tests are still very basic.

A real emission test should be done in a closed environment with a cold start and a simulated average road trip performed on a dyno. All the exhaust fumes should be gathered and analysed and then you'll get an idea of the overall emissions.
