Europipe. I fancy one pretty badly.
What are your impressions thus far Dudley?

What Brad!? If not with gold wheels, how are you gonna offend my delicate taste? Lol.

Dudley

I have not started the car yet but I am very impressed with the fit.
Steff, at Europipe, has been great to work with.

You will not be disappointed with the sound. My car came came with it and we love the sound! Enjoy. Lou

Hey Dudley,

Is there a write-up floating around on how to change the serpentine belt?

Dudley

I found the DIY for changing the Polyrib belt on a 996 at Renntech.org
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...-polyrib-belt/

The 6GT3 is a little different because there is very little room to access the nut on the tension pulley.
Here is what I did:

I am also glad that I sketched out the belt path before hand.

Dudley

Fired the car in the garage today and the sound is wild. The burbling on the way down is perfect.
I can't wait until the snow melts. I am one happy camper.

DHI

Awesome to know that the sound is good for you.
Is that the regular Europipe system?

Dudley

Yes, it is the regular system. I wonder if the loud system would satisfy the sound limit at Mt Tremblant Le Circuit.

Dudley

For some crazy reason, I decided to buff and polish the Europipe system before before installation



The installed system was gorgeous, I even put on a coat of Rejex. I know, ****.



So yesterday, I re-installed the rear bumper and despite the wet roads, I had to take her for a test run. Oh, the sound! It sounds like a Porsche!
When I got home, I washed the car from top to bottom. When I look underneath, my shiny, polished finish was gone. In it's place was a golden bronze patina - I think I like the bronze much better.

Dave,

Did you buy the Europipe new?!

Looks great.. !!

Dudley

No, I picked it up used. I replaced all the hardware and tailpipes.
