New Exhaust Speedtech
I did the mod last week. Finally finished this Saturday and took the car out for a good run. I did the Speedtech 2.5 X pipe 100 cell cats. There is a major difference in performance. Spooling quicker and the pull is noticeably stronger. . The sound with the new tips is amazing. My car had the Europipe setup, which I am told is not very common on TT cars. Now I have two great exhausts that I can interchange as I feel. Ahh, more power. Thanks guys.

"Sounds" like you prefer the new Speedtech vs. the Europipe?

Ep is very deep sounding. Cat is 3" or 4" I have to measure. And weights much more than the Speedtech. Has the X50 double tips.

Yep. That’s exactly right. The EP is what I’d call a gentleman’s exhaust. It’s deep and polite. Doesn’t draw attention at cold start or even WOT for long. It has a lazy pulling sound too, like you have to drag it along. The SpeedTech or most Xpipes have more urgency and livelier. They sing at a higher note like a GT3. More burbles decelerating downhill too. I got bored with the EP rather quickly. It looks more impressive than it sounds. It’s what the stock exhaust should’ve sounded like. |

The exhaust has been authenticated by my shop and Speedtech. it is a EP. Those tips are mostly associated with an X50, there were options on tips, that issue is complete.
|
If you’re interested in selling the Europipe, shoot me a message. |
I thought about selling it. If the right price comes my way I might, if not, it goes on the shelf with all the Turbos, and other parts from many vehicles.

I have the 3" muffler-less version with 100dpi cats, ceramic coated, slash cut tips. Must say I very much love it!
|
It weights like 25 lbs less than the EP. I appreciate it every time I haul my ass around a corner. |
John makes some 2.5” dual round tips that look great. They really fill out the bumper exhaust cutouts nicely. Only thing is they are quite a bit louder than using the OEM tips. |
