Don't have experience on the 997's but just installed an Akrapovic exhaust system on my GF's e92 M3 and that thing is a work of art. Titanium.....

After I find enough money under my couch cushions I'm going with Europipe.

We need more vids of .2 TT's with that beautiful exhaust.

I'm thinking about it seriously after the CEL issue that akrapovic has! :s

is it the euro pipe slight heavier than the stock one ??

If i were to buy a new exhasut for my 997 turbo i would without a doubt go with Markskis exhaust. Best sounding exhaust for the turbo and you`ll save alot of cash.

EP all the way!!! Akropovic is nice but way too pricey being titanium and has those very odd looking tips (i don't know what you can do to fix those up). I also cant see it being able to match the EP for alround performance and value. When it comes down to build quality, performance and sound, i really cant see how Akro can possibly claim they are any better than EP just because they have a higher price tag (due to being titanium). Sure they have a minor edge where weight is concerned (being titanium) but you won't feel it on a car like a 997tt unless you are driving it at 11 tenths on a tight circuit. Kuwait....you guys don't have circuits do you? Anyways....Karim is your man in Kuwait (K_ddsl) so you should PM him and hook up as he has an EP on his .2tt and and raves....like anyone who has one (inc me and anyone else who has one). Now if you're an oil sheik with loads of tear up dollars then indulge yourself and go the full Akro titanium and give all us 6speeders a review...but don't forget to get someone to correct those wacky tips first OK .

Not a difficult decision:

Akrapovic 997.2 TT exhaust : $9740
100 cell cats = CEL


Europipe 997.2 TT exhaust : $4150
100 cell cats = no CEL

9K for an exhaust??????
Seriously? I have been doing some research but is there something absolutely extraordinary that makes an exhaust worth 9k?
Does this one ad more HP? What makes it so expensive?

Wogy that's an easy one since you're in Kuwait. I'll be back in Kuwait tomorrow night. I will PM you my contact. Gimme a call and you can personally audition the way the exhaust sounds and we can discuss this in person.

Cheers,

Karim
