Do any of you guys know of the JDM exhaust Espelier?? Looking to change mine, I have a custome fab one now- noisy as hell, looking for something with character and not too ricey sounding. Thanks.

I have been researching this exhausts too and the fast guys racing these cars in autocross are using Magnaflow. Not to noisy , looks good and priced right.

I have some on order and will get it before Xmas.

I decided to do mine custom,,for two resons.. 1 ) I like to fabricate stuff..2) there are no big options for a supercharged ITR... But here goes. I have a 3'' stright back, T1R test pipe and Kamikaze muffler midway, and another OBX muffler angled out ..APEX'i N1 style.... It has incredible flow and sounds really nice and mellow.... In your case being N/A I suggest a T1R exhaust from A&J racing in Vancouver... very quiet , high quality and decent price... power wise it produces about the same as SPOON
Thants my two cents

I agree about the Magnaflow.. Thats what I run on my PT Cruiser... It looks good sounds good and is priced right with a lifetime warranty. I would totally run it if I had N/A.... Check out the magnaflow website.. their performance gains are well documented.. Excellent choice bbqman

I received my Espelier JGT500 ehaust cat back the other day, wow what a system, very light and the construction is amazing, especially the micro welds - WOW - mandral bent tubing, polish can. Had it bolted on with a test tube, the initial sound is much quiter than that of my Magnaflow, I hve not heard someone drive it so I can critique it.
The initial test drive, power band seems different too....was on the 407 doing high digits, seems so smoooth. Well I'll have to see how it fairs out on the long term for sound after the packing is worked in.

Thanks for the replies.

Well I have had the exhuast for a wee bit now, I am very impressed with the sound....VERY DEEP....does not sound ricey at all, and the at idle burble with my JUN cams.....wow.......the sound is also very distinct, which I also enjoy. As it is DIFFERENT!
