Europipe Stage II loud installed today
I just had the Europipe SII loud installed today. What a piece of jewelery this exhaust is. All the techs at the dealer were amazed with the build quality. And what a great group of people to work with at Europipe. Ordered it one day received it 3 days later from Belgium. the sound is great , low rumblely, and agressive when you open it up. Much better throttle response. I am so glad I waited and did the research. They are expensive but they look like they were made with the car.

sal...How about highway speed? 70-90 mph at partial throttle. Any resonance? I recently went back to stock exhaust after a trip to Va. from NC with EVO stage II pipes. Worst headache you can imagine. Researchng alternatives.

Was there any particular reason why you went w/the loud vs quiet? I tested a tt w/the quiet and it sounded great. Is the loud louder? or just a different sound? Also, anybody have the Cargrahic exhaust? Any problem w/resonance?

I really like my EP 2 Loud, but honestly, I wish it were even a little louder.

It is a deep throaty rumble, louder at lower rpms and less on the highways at cruise speed.I debated for several weeks over Loud versus quiet and chose the loud . I had Porsche Sport Exhaust on a previous car and don't find this any louder just a lower deeper sound. I don't find any true resonance , I guess it all depends on the person. I have heard the Quiet version and it is also fantastic. Stef at Europipe told me after time the Quiet gets a little louder and the Loud pretty much will stay the same. For me right now the loud was the right choice. It is not so loud at normal driving that it is a neighborhood nuisance. Whichever choice this exhaust from build quality to fit is the best for a car like ours.

In my opinion only, I stress that because i don't want the flaming to start, the Fabspeed is louder and more agressive. The Europipe is a more low rumble without the "raspyness". Also in my opinion the build quality is not comparable, in my opinion only.

Nash, sound clips are okay but it won't give you a true feeling of the sound inside the cabin or what it sounds like when you are driving. Contact your local P club and test one that has one already installed.

I have Europipe stage II quiet and love it. The loud version is 3 -7 db's louder than the quiet and the quiet 1 - 3 db louder than stock across the rev range. Check out sound clips on europipe's website @ www.europipe.be. They also have db comparison to stock and loud versus quite in their tech section(my numbers are from memory, so they might be a little off).
I have heard AWE as well and it is also a nice system. AWE is lighter that stock while Europipe is a only a few pounds lighter.
I did a lot of research and have not found a single Europipe buyer who has been disappointed. The build quality and the customer service are unbelievable.
