Thanks ELMEL!
I really like the EP a lot. It came in 6lbs lighter than stock. A deeper, more hollow sound when compared to the stock exhaust note. It burbles and pops often. My car breathes better and of course is louder overall. No noticable "drone" to my ears and idle is not obnoxious. It could be because of the increased volume, the extra power, or my imagination, but the car almost seems easier to drive, the throttle is more responsive with less lag.
Cruising around town from a normal off the line start up to about 3500 rpm sounds absolutely great. Deep and very rich. It's perfect in this range imo. I even heard the turbos whistle a little.
However at WOT from 5000-6700 rpm, that refined machine-like high pitch grind that I really liked from the stock exhaust is now completely absent from the EP. It's almost as though a layer of sound is missing when you get high up.
Ive only had the EP on for less than a day, with about 2 hours of seat time. We'll see what I think of it after a week or two. Overall I am very happy so far. This is how porsche should have done it in the first place.

After I did the EP install, I couldn't figure out what the whistling was, then I read on the fourm that it was the sound of the turbos kicking it. That combined with the great rumble at full acceleration makes it well worth the money...performance is exhilarating from something as simple as an exhaust system. Definitely seems to let some inherent performance loose. I think I'm one of the few on this forum who have the Stage 1.
