The performance difference was surprising. This is an X50 car with a UMW tune and it was night and day. I know many are pro 100 cell count and I am sure it would run a little better with 100 cell but that said the exhaust made a big difference in all around performance. They say that the peak HP and Tq increase is somewhere around 20 hp and 20 ft pds tq and you can feel the increase in peak HP but the exhaust actually makes a huge difference all around, the turbos spool up WAY quicker and at lower RPM. Driving along in 6th gear at 65 and pushing down the go pedal is pretty fun without a downshift now....

My wife commented on how the car no longer wants to die in casual clutch release off the line which was also a surprising benefit.
I have a handful of PCA member friends that say the same as you with the system...
Most dont take a look on how Milltek has large HJS cats and how the piping goes into the muffler,it works well..And proven on many cars..

Drove a bone stock K24 x50 car a while back with EP stage 2 loud and thought it was pretty loud and droned a bit. Gave me a bit of a headache after a while. Exhausts are very subjective. You gotta drive the car to see what will suit your tastes....

Well, the car is put away for the winter now but I made an little movie with the europipe mounted.

The exhaust is fine, but there is some unexpected drone in the interval 2050-2100 rpm. Just in that very narrow range. In my correspondence with EP they tought it was strange when the drone they are aware of usually comes a couple of hundred rpms higher. Any ideas what that could be all about?

The "MOT"-inspection went fine by the way. The guy smiled and said "-Nice exhaust, what brand is it?"

Cheers
