Default GT2 EP2

Was lucky to have been able to purchase this <50 mile takeoff 997 GT2 Europipe EP2 from @Aspen Autosports. Full 3 inch pipes all the way to 3.5 inch slash cut GT2 look tips. Going to install in a few days, have to wait for some hardware I ordered from Porsche to ensure I have plenty of nuts/studs on hand for the cats in case they break off, in addition to new cat gaskets. Exhaust looks new, was shipped yesterday and arrived at my house today. Very excited!​​​​​​​

EP got a lot of positive feedback from the 997TT owners, so I hope that this delivers great results for you.
I went the Tubi route when I had my 997TT and should have done EP.
I also installed the aftermarket (race?) Akrapovic on my GT2 which was nasty loud to me and I removed it quickly.
good luck.

Yes, not looking to replicate the RS, just want a little more spool sound.

That is really nice! Post an audio clip once you get it installed. Maybe a before and after!

Thanks

Is the exhaust titanium? I thought the Akrapović was pretty light as OEM although I could’ve used more sound

Factory muffler is titanium and very light, the issue with sound is mainly due to restrictive factory 600cel cats.

Made some progress today. Taking my time with the cat bolts. Have 3 loose on each side, top innermost bolts still soaking in PB Blaster. Those are a bit harder to access and still haven’t figured out a good way to approach. Ordered an ‘S’ shaped 13mm to see it that will help. TPC Racing intercoolers are quite large!

Looked like the EP2 was still on the car at dealership. Surprised at the trade in.

I love to see the continued flow of a bit more GT2 content in here. Awesome!
