Default Europipe Owners Please Chime In

I am upgrading to Kevin's new Stg3 ZC and it comes with Europipe in 2 flavors:Quiet or Loud. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am moving up from a Miltek that was relatively quiet around town ,but came alive at WOT. Will neighbors be complaining late at night with the EP2 Loud.... Is EP Quiet TOO tame...Thanks, Kevin

I have had 2 EP louds. I don't think they are very loud at all. I have never heard the quiet, but I would choose the loud again.

My wife cannot drive a stick but she likes loud exhaust. She has the AWE system on her 997S and it is louder than the EP.

Thanks... I was just checking the EP website and the quiet is only a decibel louder than the stock exhaust at most points in the rpm range... leaning loud..Kevin

Kevin, I use the EP stage 2 Quiets. They sound awesome when at WOT and are nice and quiet when needed. Of course you know I have a cab. I think you can get away with Louds. Good luck! You will LOVE them.

Kevin. Last summer I upgraded from a EP2 Loud to a custom Europipe. The new exhaust has 1/2 the backpressure of the EP2L and is therefore considerably louder. Here's an audio clip and picture. The EP2L, IMO, is the perfect exhaust. Not to loud, but loud enough (most of the time). Hopefully this, in conjunction with the audio clips on the www.europipe.be website will help you decide.

Mike, thanks for the info. I appreciate it it. That is one very nice exhaust, although did not seem much louder than the EP2 Loud. It is hard to judge from audio clips, but I am leaning towards the loud since on paper(decibel levels) the quiet is too close to stock. I did not see your exhaust on their website.... is it a one off? I like the 4 outlets. Thanks, kevin

I have EP2 Quiet: it is so subjective, but mine is perfect.
I did not want to chance the loud being to loud.

My quiet is pretty tame, sounds good at WOT but is not Fierce like my PSI Loud
was at WOT. What I like is the QUALITY of the sound with Europipe,
it is hard to describe.
KPG: you need EP2 Loud or new Bazooka.
