I’d like to share some info about our latest exhaust for the European 992 Turbo with the particulate filter exhaust. Our 992 Turbo Europipe sport exhaust is constructed from high-grade 316, 409 and 441 stainless steel. The expansion chamber mufflers provide a decent noise reduction for the street while creating that classic Porsche flat 6 growl. This system has a distinctive rich tone and a racecar-like sound at high rpm. You’ll get more driving pleasure with better throttle response with no compromise on comfort as there is no drone at all.
We use Vitesco-Continental 100 cell cat cores with a proprietary coating. We have been using these 100 cell sport cats succesfully for nearly 30 years now. Catalytic convertors are defined by their size, cell count, foil shape, washcoat and its amount of precious metals. The washcoat is a porous primer that multiplies the surface area of the cats. There are several companies that apply the washcoat/precious metals onto catalytic convertors. There’s Corning, Degussa, Johnson-Matthey, Umicore etc. Umicore is one of the largest companies and is located in Hoboken just 5 minutes from our shop.
Looking at the stock exhaust you’ll notice there’s a particulate filter on each bank and each filter has its own differential pressure sensor. The differential pressure sensor is an electronic sensor that measures the pressure before and after the particulate filter and determines the level of soot contained within this filter.
For instance, if there is an exhaust pressure of 0.40 Bar before the filter and 0.32 Bar after the filter say @6000 rpm, the differential sensor will measure 0.08 Bar. The pressures are converted to a current between 0.2 and 4.8 Volts. The ECU will determine with info from the differential pressure sensors along with other parameters when to start a regeneration process to burn off the accumulated soot inside the filter.
The trapped soot inside the filter is burnt off to make sure that the filter does not become blocked and that it can carry on trapping more soot. Removing the particulate filter will cause a CEL though as the pressure differential is too low. However, we have monitored the pressures extensively and could mimic the correct amount of pressures on our sport exhaust without causing a CEL.
Our exhaust is a 84mm/70mm low drag system meaning that 75% of the total lenght is ø84mm and ø70mm at the very end. It’s a one piece unit with a bellow in the centre for a stress free fitment. The installation of our 992 sport exhaust is straightforward, nothing on the car has to be altered and nothing else is needed.
You’ll feel the turbos spooling earlier and more efficiently. The output gains we’ve measued vary from car to car, from 16 Hp to 28 Hp and from 22Nm to 32Nm.
Weighs 5kg / 11 Lbs less and warranty is 4 years.
The 600 cell stock cats are the biggest restriction while the stock ø70mm muffler is really 100% unrestrictive.
Back in the day the 300 Hp 965 (964 Turbo) used a single piped ø70mm exhaust. Its successor, the 993 Turbo had 300 cell cats and ø60mm piping for each bank. Also 300 cell cats and 2 x ø60mm on the 996 Turbo. The 997.1 went with 600 cell cats but retained the 2 x ø60mm pipe diameter. The size increased to 2 x ø65mm for the 997.2 Turbo and 991 Turbo and now we have full 2 x ø70mm on the 992 Turbo which is great.
Our Europipe is a non valved exhaust, activating the PSE button does no longer affect the sound. No longer valves that partly close at midrange! This one rips from idle to redline!
Cold start is loud but definitely not as loud as x-pipe exhausts without mufflers.
Here are some pictures of our Turbo / S sport exhaust with ø140mm 100 cell cats and OPF delete.
Thanks! I’ve recorded this one early this year and it was almost freezing out there. Lots of road noises due to the concrete pavement so it was hard to capture a decent sound.
It’s the same 100 cell set-up but without the OPF connectors. Our exhaust is a one-piece unit made of stainless steel with a bellow in the centre for a stress free fitment.
Overall you’ll get a richer and deeper sound and you can really hear the turbos spooling up. So it’s very melodic and howls its way up to redline.
The low range power pick up is very quick and the throttle response is more crisp. And there’s no valves that partly close at midrange which is great.
The electric motors of the OEM valves must be reinstalled though but that is really easy. No drone and no CELs, just enjoy the pure Porsche flat 6 sound.
