Default Europipe Stage I Installed!!

I just completed the Europipe Stage I installation. Stef from Europipe did a great job on the communications and the tools that he sent with the exhaust were key to getting the stock exhaust removed. The Europipe exhaust sounds great!! It is more aggressive sounding and I could hear the whistle of the turbos spooling. I'm very happy with the results. Stef made himself available in case I ran into any issues. Overall the install went smooth. Here are some pics: The work of art arrives well packaged with needed tools included. In the second pic, the exhaust is installed. The additional pics show the end product with the custom exhaust tips.

Congratulations ! This is the best quality you can get as aftermarket goes. The cats are unique performance wise as well

Congratulations... the exhaust seems to improve over time.... I get the turbo whistle around 1900rpm and boost seems to build around 2000rpm...

I have the Europipe Stage as well, and drvik is correct in that the exhaust note improves over time. A product with stellar quality. You'll enjoy this mod for a long time. Enjoy.

Are the tailpipes on the wrong sides? Seems like if you switched them they'd follow the curve of the bumper. I've never seen the EP on a 997 so don't really know. Gotta luv the sound!

The exhaust outlet pipes has an angle and I probably need tips without the slant which should result in the tips aligning with the bumper.

Any drone at highway speeds? I had a fabspeed on my 996tt that resonated at highway cruising speed. I drove the car in fifth gear on the highway just to stay out of that rev range.

I would rather have dual tail pipes on each side than single but then that's just me. For some reason the rear looks sort of incomplete now.

It's a personal choice any way.

The quality however is un parallel

No drone at all. Just a great symphony of sound.

I have to agree. I just received the Fabspeed dual tail pipes and they look great. Will post pics after installed. The single tail pipes just don't fill out the dimensions properly in my opinion.

Who sells those single pipe tips?? They would look good with the GT2 black fill ins for the rear bumper.

No issues with drone at highway speeds. It sounds a little more aggressive and I feel it has a little more umph!

With the dual exhaust tips, are both functional or is one a "dummy"? I like the single but I need a modification to fill in the trim. Those single tips are almost 4 inches in diameter.
