I was convinced I needed an EP2 quiet... but they never pop up for sale. A "loud" hit ebay and I jumped on it- I figured I could trade for a quiet maybe or sell the loud once a quiet came up for sale.
I love my loud.
I was sold on the EP based on the overall quality, custoemr support and integrity of the principals (Stef). The quality of the catalytic converters they use are absolutely the best. ("100 cell" is not the sole descriptor of a cat on an exhaust....)
Listen to them first if you can. For a cab I'd go quiet, FYI

What's wrong is they're very loud and poorly made... Drone is redefined with "Fabspeed"... One of the worst exhausts on the market in my opinion, and yes, I owned one... And my hearing paid for it.
I've been VERY happy with my Speedtech Xcellerator "Quiet".

I am considering the Speedtech also. Still debating between the 2.5 or 3". I wish I could hear both live. All the videos I see don't show a huge difference in sound. I imagine there is a small power difference between the two as well, but I haven't seen any comparisons.

I have a Febspeed from Evoms that is supposedly tuned both for the Cab (no drumming when top up) and the Tiptronic. It's quiet when I need it in the city but comes on strong when the car is under acceleration load. I think it's fantastic but did make sure to get the corrent one when ordering.

One thing that you folks need to remember is>> With the race quality exhaust systems and the Europipe, you will receive a Geman manufacture full METAL 130mm 100 cell CAT..
All other systems mentioned don't give you these cats. I have tested and used these cats since the late 90's. The larger the cat diameter and LESS cells per inch will typically give you LESS backpressure. I say typically because it is a waste to build a system with these components to have it built from smaller diameter piping (like 2.5" diameter). If the CATS are made from ceramic coated substrates they will fail over time.
Google CAT manufactures and most likely you will see your manufacture overseas. In the end, the German/European metal reinforced CAT's will dictate how well your engine runs today, and 5 years from now. And BTW these CAT's cost $800 to $900 each. That's were your money is going.
