More HRE's on a 997.2 Turbo S @ SharkWerks
 
Somebody mentioned the Europipe yesterday so I figured I'd show you this 2011 Turbo S which came into us for a set of HRE CL40 Monoblock wheels in satin black and a Europipe Exhaust system to address the lackluster factory exhaust note.

On the chopping block...

Off comes the bumper:

Unpacked the exhaust itself is a thing of beauty:

You also get a very nice basket of tools but sadly no Belgian Chocolates! Very handy indeed:

A shot of the factory exhaust:

And those very dense stock cats:

Side-by-side shot:

On goes the Europipe:

From the belly:

Nice fitment from behind and the factory tips can be re-used. There is also no overhang from the rear either:

As you'd expect from Europipe the sound is very unique, clean/crisp and no resonance either.

Next up is a set of light-weight 19 inch HRE CL40 Monoblok wheels finished in satin black and wrapped with new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires:

And in the rear (check out the machining and weight savings in the spokes):

Ready to go home:

The more aggressive rear offset pushes the wheels out where they should be vs the "tucked-in" stock wheels:

Stunning lads!

Alex, I don't know if you ever got round to seeing what I wrote in another thread a while ago, but I couldn't believe my eyes when you posted that you went to Hill House...So did I!!! Great school. On the stricter side, but I really enjoyed it! Gotta love the weekly assemblies with the colonel (I almost shat myself before the readings!) / No threadjack intended!

Anyways, fantastic turbo! Love your work!

Best,
Yannick

Thanks.

I would say the Tubi is overall the louder inside and outside in terms of sound.
