Thumbs up


Another really good that gives a good impression of sound, pops, whistles etc. Mezger sounds even better imo.

Also new 50 cel stage 2 available for 997.2 turbo now not just the 991.2 turbo

Worst exhaust ever made! You can’t even find one used. Pure Junk.

finally caved in and ordered Europipe stage 2 for my 997.1.. Arriving next Monday. I initially wanted to build one myself, but too many projects at the moment, and I need to make the car louder now. Eventually I will build one, but for now I will enjoy Europipe. Can't wait

lol. I broke the sensor wrench that came with exhaust. And no I wasn't hammering on it. I removed my exhaust, and was on my deck. I was holding the exhaust with 1 hand, and putting pressure ( "pumping " ) on the wrench with other. I did PB Blast the sensors before I tried to remove them. The first O2, went with no problem, the 2nd was was harder, and thats when I broke the tool....

Now I need to either find someone in Central New Jersey that can loan me one, or I will have to buy one. Does anyone know what size it is ?

I used a pipe on the end of the EP provided wrench to apply a consistent torque and was able to pop them off without PB. I wasn't replacing them so didn't want to get PB on the sensor itself.
Alternatively, using a torch to heat it may help as well.

Unless they are non standard, they should be a 22mm. I am pretty sure used a standard Craftsman 22mm closed wrench when removing my O2 sensors on my engine out stuff. I do not remember any issues.

I would go for constant torque rather than "pumping" on the handle.

I can’t help it, I’m sorry. Been using mine for years without any issues.

We can send you another one from another brand, just contact me with e-mail.

no worries, already ordered one from Amazon. Will be here on Sunday. Thanks for your offer !

Will use heat next time.. Took 1st sensor out, and PB Blast didn't penetrate .
