    Beating a dead horse - what aftermarket exhaust for a 996TT?

    I know that everyone has differen opinions. In the past, I have even saved money by buying slighlty used headers for other turbos.

    Any recommendations - there are many options, but noone seems to have performed a definative before and after test\ dyno'd test on the various brands.

    Any advice in advance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I just drove over for a Europipe quiet. Really nice guys who obviously have a passion for their work. Helpful and accomodating. The exhaust sounds great. I think a small, independent (fiercely so!) firm with such a good product deserves support.

    Can't say much about Europipe (they have Euro in the name but I never heard of them... ) but what worked very well for dozends of 996 Turbo owners was and is the Cargraphic sport exhaust with high flow cats. As far as I remember, there are three sound versions, you shouldn't go for the loudest one because it is pretty loud. I had the louder street legal version (I think this would be version 2) and it got louder and louder after I had the exhaust for a while.
    Very nice and aggressive 911 flat six sound and you also gain around 12-16 HP (I saw some dyno testing on various cars equipped with this exhaust).

    Not sure if the Cargraphic exhaust is available in the US but it may be.

    For those of you in the US who ordered the EP exhaust system, I presume you got an independent to fit it for you? Does it affect the warranty (i presume it must do??)

    I checked their website and I don't think they're actually the manufacturer of these exhaust systems.
    Can't say much about Manthey but regarding engines/exhausts, Schmirler is THE Porsche guru worldwide.
    And he uses Cargraphic, which actually is not made by them either but made for them. I think the original manufacturer is a company called Phoenix but I don't remember the details. I think these guys also make the GT3 exhaust systems for cup cars and custom made stuff.

    This doesn't mean Europipe is a bad product, please don't get me wrong. I just ask you guys to be cautious because we Europeans have a very very nasty habit: we think that we can sell ANYTHING to Americans. And this comes as a friendly advice, especially since I have lots of contacts to various Porsche "related/connected" people and I hear the good things and the bad things.

    "I have lots of contacts to various Porsche "related/connected" people and I hear the good things and the bad things."

    Give us a pointer here on a brand or two that you "heard" good about it...

    Personally I had heard before thatvCargraphic was the way to go on both exhausts and ECU mods (done by RS tuning for them)...

    I have a RUF on my 2001 TT--expensive but I like the sound. Not too loud.

    Some folks say AWE Tuning has a good exhaust. Haven't tried, but I know Mike Romano monitors this board so he may want to comment.

    I emailed Europipe about a Manthey exhaust when I saw one on Ebay. Europipe makes it with a 400 cel cat for use in Germany. The 400 cel cat is a different diameter then the standard Europipe cat and cannot practically be replaced. It results in a 7HP loss vs.the 100cel Europipe.

    I just sent a deposit for a used Supersprint/Techart exhaust. Has anyone ever heard one or a sound clip?
