Question Not another exhaust question?!....

It's about time I bought a new exhaust and I'm looking at two in particular

I've narrowed my decision down to either a Europipe loud or a Switzer
From what I have seen so far these are the ones to go for

The car is my daily driver so this needs to be taken into consideration

Unfortunately, as I'm in England I am unable to see and hear the exhausts before I buy, I have to rely on videos and other peoples comments

What do you think of these two exhausts?
All comments are welcomed

Thanks

Thanks Steve

I was under the impression that their "loud" wasnt bad at all

How about the quieter Europipe?
What are your thoughts on this compared to the Switzer?

I don't think the Europipe is loud,it just sounds good and perfect build quality.
I would go for the Europipe...

I just rid of my europipe loud for a RPI. My europipe had a nice mellow sound and no drone. I haven't had a switzer or heard one in person but they look like a great piece. The europipe is definitely a daily driver for sure.

If going with the Europipe, is this something that can be done in the home garage, on jackstands? Or is there a need for welding?

The EP Loud is not loud at all. I have the quiet and love the way it burbles upon deceleration. Zero drone. All the exhausts bolt on.

I have the Europipe Stage1, so it should be quiet... It's not... only little drone around 2000rpm's.
It's nice to drive and quiet if you drive with little or no load but screams up when you throttle... Far louder than the original system.

I'm pretty happy with it and perfect finish..
