New Turbo Exhaust - early Christmas Present
#166
I have been corresponding with Felix at Kline. I will be ordering my system in January. Xmas was hard on me. Wife wanted this that, kids the same. I make them happy so my gift will be the exhaust system. I will take pictures, video and will post before and after impressions. I have a durametric pro version so real time data before and after will be posted. I can't wait!!!

....or something cheap and crude (plenty to choose from out there), that way if it doesn't work out it$ not too painful?

Speed.. I like the "cheap and crude" option.. Thats awesome..
The reality is that I probably wont change my exhaust. I heard my car being driven by my tech the other day and it sounds really good.. Guess i'm just itching to hear the turbos more.. Spending a few thousand dollars just for that doesnt make a lot of sense..

Even per Europipe's webpage the power difference between the EP1 and EP2 is only +2 hp (18 vs 20) resulting from the bigger piping. You basically get 90% of the performance benefit from the improved 100 Cell cats and inherent muffler design but only an incremental 10% from the larger pipes (but with more sound of course)
Phillip, maybe you can take your techart exhaust and just upgrade the cats to 100 cell and see if that improves power, responsiveness, sound and turbo whistle. would be an interesting and relatively affordable effort, no?

As far as Porsche "muffling" their turbo engine because it doesn't sound good...I don't think that is correct... They (Porsche) have enormous hurdles to jump over when it comes to meeting decibel standards in the US and Europe. I doubt the Porsche engineers were happy with the way the 997-1 sounded when it left the factory.
Have you heard the GT2 RS? Basically the same engine as the 997-1 but the exhaust note is awesome...It can be done.....

Also the fact the GT2 has a better sounding stock system than the .1tt stock exhaust is because of development and nothing more. Porsche knew the market wasn't happy with the sound of the stock .1tt car and have made subsequent improvements to the models following.

I was sad, I went through an AWE, Milltek, EB werks and GMG before getting my Europipe. I miss the sound of the GMG and EBWerks at full throttle. I do love the civility of the EP. The Milltek wasn't much louder but didn't flow well, I showed a 25 whp gain between the Milltek and EB Werks. Crazy.

Noticed you had a GMG exhaust before your EP1. When I listen to GMG sound bite, the sound is a bit more deep V-8ish than the hollow tankish sound of my EP1. Why the switch from GMG to EP? Some claim GMG is a lot louder than the EP, would you agree?? How about dash lits coming on or drone, any of those issues??
