I've had my europipe on my 997.2tt for almost a year now. I'm still excited About it and look forward to kick starting every morning. I love how grouchy it sounds while warming up.

Stef...hats down!

 

I am absolutely intrigued by this system. I am working to save up money for one now, but not 100% on stage 1 or 2. I have a 997 TT 07. I am going to be in Germany in February for a week. Any possibility of purchasing there and avoiding taxes or fees? Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

On the contrary buying local means forking up nice VAT. At 20% or so. Of course you can detax on the way out and get it back I guess.

 

We have to add 21% Belgian sales tax within the European Community and our government will throw most of the 21% in a bottomless hole.

If we ship to non-EU countries then there is no Belgian sales tax to be paid.
Most U.S. states charge 2.5% duty on imported car parts but you don't have to pay sales tax.

Feel free for a visit to our shop, we are 2 hours from the German border. You can test drive our 997.1 Turbo with the stage 1 / stage 2 exhaust.

 

Thank you Nerves, that's the spirit !

 

Only a few more hours until I get to hear the exhaust.

 

Exhaust is installed and I have to admit that I love the sound. Perfect for a daily driven car in that it is drone free when cruising, but pretty throaty under acceleration. Install was pretty easy as well taking just about 3 hours to complete.

Stef,

Does your design eliminate the "hot spot" that Shark Werks has observed on the factory exhaust?

NICE. Can't wait to see/hear it in person.

 

Initial imprerssions are very good. Drove it around for a few hours. Cabin noise is not loud at all and no drone. Seems to be the perfect exhaust for me. Thanks again to the guys at Turn In Concepts for a another good install job and great service. And thanks again to Stef at Europipe for great servive and a great product. I am enjoying my car much more already.

 

I did try to let my wife drive it so I could hear it from behind but she just took off and I couldn't catch her again until I got home. Guess I should have gave her better instructions. Will have to let a friend do it next time. She enjoyed it though and likes the exhaust as well. And that is saying something because she could care less about car noise.

 

I am in the exact situation as you with an exhaust. I have a new to me daily driven 997tt and looking for an exhaust that is no louder than stock @70-75mph. When you say no drone, did you try it at highway speeds? How much louder is it than stock under accel?

Can anyone comment on the droning difference between stage 1 and 2 on the highway? I can take a little more noise if the stage 2 produces noticeable more power. Thanks.

 

My pleasure John, it will take a while until you're used to the new tones.

Remember, the more boost you'll make the louder the turbo whistle.

 

The factory exhaust is actually very free flowing, it's the same design with the same size 65mm tubes as the the 997 GT2RS muffler. No need to eliminate a hot spot on these, that's just an area where the exhaust gasses make contact with the outer muffler shell. Both sides merge in the middle for a nicer tone, otherwise you'll get the 3 + 3 tractor sound at idle.

 

Started it up cold this morning. WOW! what a great sound.
