Question WTB: Europipe (Quiet)

I have just purchased the ECU flash from UMW. Can't wait to get it installed. On the off chance, I would lilke to add the Europipe (Quiet) to the system. Please PM if anyone knows of one for sale. Thanks Todd

Better stand in line....there's a number of folks looking for the same thing. You do see them once in a while...but not very often.

Have you heard both the EP Quiet and the EP Loud? I ask because I personally think my EP 2 Loud just barely meets my "loud" square. I'm satisfied with the EP Loud, but if it were ANY more quiet, I wouldn't be.

I agree. Sounds fine and if it was any quieter I'd feel cheated.

Sounds like I need to reconsider going to a LOUD vs quiet EP. I just didn't want to get the loud & have all my neighbors hate me.

Actually, if you can, take Dock's advice...listen to both of them. For me the Q's are more than enough sound...I do live in a quiet neighborhood and I have a cab. Listen to them in person...they will change sound as they get older as well. Regardless, either one is much better than stock!

Personally, the last thing in the world I'd worry about are the "neighbors". The EP Loud is pretty darn quiet under partial throttle (especially <3500 RPM)...motoring easily through the neighborhood you're not going to flag yourself at all. And out of all the time you spend in your Turbo, how much of it is within ear-shot of your neighbors? My guess it's a VERY small percentage of the time.

So get what you really want, and enjoy it the 99.9% of the time you're driving the car...then take it easy on the throttle the 00.1% of the time you think you're around a neighbor that cares.

There's a good chance the EP2L would be the right exhaust 4U.
It has a truly a beautiful sound.

I have the EP Stage 1, and I recently put a set of EVO GT2 headers on it...and it made it louder and slightly deeper....you can check the decibel rating chart on the EP website and you'll find that they all pretty much run within a couple db's of each other. The sound is sophisticated but loud, especially at WOT. Very pleasing but not obnoxious.

If you can, get a ride in someone's car with the DGI setup. I'm a UMW customer, and I'm not trying to take anything from Kevin's recommendation, but the DGI setup is a GREAT alternative at almost 2/3rds savings... I have it, love it, and am glad I didn't buy the EP2Quiet.

The quality of this system, combined with the size of the tubing from flange to the tips, and the latest dyno numbers show that this system is a great performer without the headache of some of the other more cost effective solutions out there.

70MM tubing from Flange to tips (True 70MM tips)
Mirror polished finish
About 30# less than stock weights
NO DRONE at the critical 2-3K RPM range.
Less than $2000

Mike
