997.1TT facelift exhaust by Europipe

I'm doing a facelift to my 997.1 Turbo Tiptronic and Europipe has the perfect exhaust for that.

Quote:

We do offer a special 997.1 TT conversion muffler so that you can use the 997.2 TT tips on a 997.1 TT with a 997.2 TT rear bumper.
The backpressure is a little less compared to our regular 997.1 TT stage 1 exhaust but there is no drone and it suits the Tiptronic fine.

Can't wait to have the exhaust installed and listen to this sound in my garage

They won't fit as on the 997.1 TT the hole in the tip is off-centre.

Do you have EP2 or the Speedtech exhaust?

In the film, the loud raspy cold start sound is predominetly what you hear and when this cold start sound stops and the normal exhaust is heard, the driver turns off the engine before the true EP1 sound is heard which is more pleasant to listen to. My wife has a fit with only the cold-start sound and it is a bit loud in a garage to me with car with windows down. To avoid that loud tankish-like cold-start sound, I turn off the engine and immediately restart and the engine goes to normal idle and EP1 returns to its true great P-turbo exhaust sound. This sound then is softer plus more controlleddriving thru the neighbor at 7am.

No drones and no CEL's. It's just like stock but with better sound.

The only problem that i had was a rattling noise coming from the tailpipes in the 1800rpm/1850rpm range. It only happens at low speeds when i'm in high gear (3rd and 4th) going up hill. When it passes the 1800rpm i hear that anoying sound for a brief moment. 50rpms or so.
In manual mode i never hear it because i never stress the engine with low rpms when the car needs power.

I only started to hear that sound after i got a new girlfriend. It only happened in one street when i would pick her up at her house so to fix the problem, i dumped her

Steff gave me another solution but i havent had time to do it.

We did had noise problems with the new 997.2 Turbo tailpipes though. These tailpipes are made of several different sheet metal parts and there is a big weld at the bottom side but no weld on the top side.

So when you knock on the tailpipes with a plastic hammer or with your knuckles you will hear a rattling sound.
We have solved the rattling issues on the 997.2 Turbo tailpipes by welding the top side of the tailpipes. ( so far on two different local cars )
