Espelir JGT500R exhaust: Purchase and Review
EDIT* - Purchased and installed. Additional pictures on page 2. Sorry for the green lines through the pictures. IT seems as if my camera phone crapped out (Treo 650).
** Shouts to Diskreet for image hosting!!!!!
First this first, Its a pain in the *** to get a lowered car with sideskirts onto a lift.
Heres my old cheap peice of crap 100 buck 2 inch crush bent piping exhaust. Attached was a "N1" styled muffler with no resonator. It was loud as hell, rusted, and now has a nice coat of black plastic paper bag.
These nuts were rusted on pretty good (60,000 miles). I had to torch the hell out of them to get them off.
Once it was off the ESPELIR went on!!!!
The fit is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Recap.
THe exhaust is Amazing. It fits absolutely perfect. (5 out of 5). It clears my G5 rear lip perfectly! The sound is definitely a change from that RIcer *** N1 muffler i had. This has no rattle or buzzy sound at all. Its totally street legal (95 DB) and its DEEEP. As far as power increase i cant really say. I mean come on, i drive an Automatic civic with 18 inch wheels
. But im sure the diameter of the piping, straight through design, and smooth bends increases power!
Lesson learned, Dont waste money and get cheap *** stuff just to have a "mod". Save your money and get something that is QUALITY!!! ESPELIR IS IT!!!
Propz to DEZOD, you can all PM him and order yours now! Be the first on your block!
THe exhaust is very slightly angled to the right!! I like!!

Rep Power: 310 *EDIT - Updated with a few higher res pictures.
I hope to install tommorow night or friday night!
**The Exhaust was VERY WELL PACKAGED. You could not hear a single "cling or clang" while handling the box.
**The Bends are all Perfect, The diameter stays even through out, The bends are as smooth as butter!!!!
**The Canister is amazingly beautiful!!!
**About a 4 inch exhaust tip!!!!
**About 2 and 1/4 inch diameter piping all the way through!!!
**The spring silencer is designed to hold the silencer in snuggly and is there to prevent vibration. (which is a terrible and ANNOYING experience with my Megan N1 style muffler).
**Overall, Id say i got a VERY good product. What can you expect when the same company that makes the exhaust makes VOLKS wheels and ARC cooling systems!!
If anyone has any questions about this exhaust please ASK!!!! I never reviewed anything so I may forget to mention things other people might want to know.
Props to Dezod!!!!
