Hi Guys,

I have a gen 1 turbo tip and added a europipe stage 1, I love the product and respect its quality. However I would like more volume from the car. Europipe have strongly suggested that europipe stage 2 would not be suitable for my car and that was even after I repeaditly insisted.

Is there anything else I can to increase the sound, of course I would like the noise purposeful rather than just loud.

 

exactly why I insisted on going Catless.. Best bet is to sell the EP1 and buy EP2 or have Stef replace the unit..

General Consensus level of "loud" is not very loud at all with these cars I've noticed. I can't justify spending 5k+ on an exhaust and only raise the noise level by 10-20%.. Doesn't make sense. Did quite a bit of research and ended up with a catless Kline made out of Inconel.. Even then, I was honestly hoping to have had a bit more sound.

 

Klines are loud at WOT. Sounds amazing

 

I don't believe it's an issue with "loud" with the EP2 and Tip - it's the drone that results from having the Tip and louder exhaust.

 

This is what ep said. More drone would not be good.

If I was to keep the exhaust is there any othe component that's adds sound?

Thanks

I agree, I have been running the EP2 for years, tell Steff to make the change, for the most part the EP1 is loud only when you want it to be..........

 

Have you been running it on a tip? Stef was 100% not recommending it for the interior noise.

 

No, I have it on a manual box, I guess it could be different; however Stef tried to talk me out of the EP2 as well due to the noise and some level of drone. For my own taste I find both well within reason.

 

Sell the EP buy Kline, simple fix

 

Go with Speedtech race X catless 3", it is just simply music to my ears!

Thanks guys have emailed EP to see what my options are.


Interesting to hear about Kline doesn't get good feedback on UK forums.

 

That is a bit of a surprise to hear, I bought one used with 200-cells for only 1100€ including shipping to Sweden. And been super happy with it.

 

Exhausts for the 997 turbo are an interesting discussion topic. They seem to be either too quiet or too loud. I realize that sound preference is a very subjective thing, but it's not often that you find people who are very happy with their exhaust system.

I know two turbo owners who have removed aftermarket exhausts and gone back to OE parts because the aftermarket exhausts were too loud. I've been thinking of a Kline inconel system for my car, but I'd hate to spend all that money only to be unhappy with the sound.

 

Hello everyone. In regards to the comments and any questions regarding Kline innovation...
There are several options to choose from now. Stainless, titanium and even Inconel. Then we have several catalytic converter options as well as decat all modular for desired performance levels and sound control. Lastly, there are three muffler and piping size/configuration options. I offer a 100% guarantee on what we steer you towards after a conversation. If you're not satisfied we will change whatever we need in order to take care of you. I have called it the SamboTT guarantee. Anyone with an existing system or interested in a new one feel free to give me a call or email even if it's just to inquire so you have all the facts.

Cheers

 

That really is an amazing offer.
