996 TT - Exhaust Recommendations
#46
Buy the EP from 911-AL. Excellent seller! Unlike other aftermarket exhausts, Europipes will always be an easy sell if you get tired of it.

I went through this exercise this summer, I eventually it boiled down to Europipe and Speedtech.
Both companies took the time to answer questions etc. so Customer service wasn't a concern knowing they'd take care of you but at the end of the day, the price of the Speedtech, location(in NH) and the other testimonials won out. Super easy to install, had a few minor issues but they were super fast at responding and getting me parts the next day! I also like the idea of how modular the system is if you want to swap components etc.

I've had my EP2 Loud for a long time; LOVE it! I've had nothing but compliments from people who ride with me. An older guy (40's) following me on a very nice sport bike eventually made his way up to beside me at a stop light. My window was down and he got my attention and said.."I've been following you and I have to say, that is a great sounding exhaust".

FWIW, I just purchased a Fabspeed maxflow v3 to include headers. I had no idea how loud it would be in the cabin. I now hate driving my 996tt. I'm trying to work with them in regards to rectifying this.... They say that the v3's are not supposed to be loud or drone....not the case. I have parked the car and don't care to drive it until fixed. That's sad....as I love to drive this car... That was until 3 days ago. I have read that some people have had success with the car chemistry inserts... Where the hell do you put them? There is barely a straight spot on that system!! They want to trade my v3's with the v2 set made for the cabs.... We shall see!

I have a Fabspeed GT2 exhaust on my car. Supposed to make some nice HP numbers. Don't know. Have not dynoed the car. But I hate the exhaust note. It's loud but in a bad way. It's very deep and doesn't sound all that great at WOT. In fact it bothers me greatly. Wondering if there are any higher pitched exhaust systems out there that perform as well. Any suggestions??
Thanks!

All of our exhaust systems are higher pitched in nature due our our unique "X design. We offer them in various sound levels from our most popular 2.5 quiet X-cellerator system, which is virtually drone free, very comfortable in the cabin and emits a fantastic high pitched wail at WOT.....all the way to our 3.0 loud, available in either a full 3" competion X-Pipe or a full 3" muffler with internal "X" - both provide a very loud high pitched scream at full throttle, which sounds magnificent.
With our modular design, if you purchase a specific sound level and you make a mistake, we can swap out just one component for a minimal expense and totally change the sound, so you are not locked into any one sound level either - our system is very flexible in that regard...
For the ultimate in street performance, we use 100 cell Hi-Flow catalytic converters, flow matched to the KKK turbo outlet at 3.2" which maximizes flow/power gains and enable the turbos to spool very quickly compared to more restrictive cats or cats with the commonly used 3" flanges. You can hear the turbos "whistle" through the open nature of our cat & X-Flow muffler design and will instantly feel the improved throttle response, as well!
Here is a video of our 2.5 X-Pipe for the 996TT - it's one of the highest pitched options we offer for the 996TT and sounds fantastic at WOT!
