I have the Kline and is the BEST period!

lmfao...just kidding.

but seriously tho...is the best.



listen to clips (LOTS) and then decide what is your "style" of exhaust, raspy, burbly, loud, quiet, no drone, cats no cats, dogs?
It's a very personal decision man we can only help you with our super bias opinions.

So go with Kline....lmfao

That is probably one of the best things I've read on Rennlist in awhile, well said lol.

OP, we'd love to have you consider us in your research. Here's a link to our product page, and a photo/video below of one of our catted systems. We offer catless and catted versions, though I'd expect catted would be the safest route for you in good old California. We do use HJS HD 200cell cats from Germany to get you through the sniff test. That said, keep in mind that any exhaust system that uses aftermarket cats will not pass the visual CARB certification for emissions in CA. From what I understand some counties don't require it, so you should do a little research and see what you're in for. If you do need to get the CARB visual inspection, you'll either have to either know a shop or have the factory exhaust on for the test every couple years, which the exhaust swap isn't that time consuming. Food for thought, at the end of the day you should consider all the variables and make an educated decision.

It has been said multiple times on this thread but it really boils down to your taste versus your needs and wants. We all want to straight pipe our cars and shoot flames out the back as we are spinning tires and leaving the competition in the dust, but what we need might not be the same thing. Most of the time traffic, laws, and significant others stop us from doing what we want. (I am pretty sure a straight pipe turbo will not pass at Laguna Seca but ooo how we wish they would). With more in more states going to a visual inspection along with a tail sniffer "passing" emissions for a road legal vehicle is becoming harder and harder.

Really the perfect exhaust boils down to a couple of things?
1. Sound (How loud do you want to go)
1a. Performance ( some will flip these depending importance)
2. Quality of parts ( type of cats, metal, valves)
3. Type of metal (stainless, titanium, inconel)
4. Type of system (valved, x-pipe, muffler)

Once you have figured out these factors you can figure out what exhaust is best for you.

Another Vote for Europipe!! Simply sounds Amazing!! Just loud enough with turbo whistle in Sport and Sport Plus modes. Nice and quiet in Reg. mode. Best of both worlds. Very little Drone if any.

Here are a few vids I shot.

Phil from Fabspeed here. What system did you go with? I am surprised to hear about drone but glad you are handling it like a pro. We all love the downshift.

Our supersport for the turbo is fantastic but the maxflo might be the way to go as well. The exhaust sound really depends on what you are looking for.

I've had Sharkwerks, Europipe Stage 1 and 2, and Tubi on different cars and to be honest, loved them all! For a cab I would say the Stage 1 Europipe was awesome. It's too docile for a coupe. I just ordered a Speedtech X-pipe 3" muffler delete w/ 200 cell cats for the 997.2 coupe I have coming in a few days. I heard one of those last week and to be honest was pretty blown away. You're not going to go wrong with any of the above, but my .02 is the speedtech stuff is pretty hard to beat currently. Good luck!

Let us know your thoughts on the Speedtech please.. I have the 3.0-X/200 on my 997 TT and wouldn't trade it. thx.

Title says Techart but it's a Europipe Stage 2. The video does a good job of capturing the sound at ~ the 45 second mark.

if you want everyone to hear you from three blocks away go straight pipes no cats and give the world what they need to hear

Love straight pipes on these things they sound awesome

The Europipe is probably the worse made exhaust system for the Porsche. Horrible wormanship, awful sound reminds of screaming woman in labor along with a tractor engine in background. If I could return it and install the OEM system. The drone effect is by far the worse of the characteristics of the design.

atm4jim

Are you serious? I'll buy it from you and sell you my OEM. Let me know, thanks.

Johnny DB

I sense sarcasm on his part

You guys are unbelievable. Being sarcastic, it’s probably the only “Fake news” about the Europipe. Hands down the Rolex of exhausts.
