Espelir Catback review with pics and vids
 

I bought a used espelir catback from Jeff S about a month ago and finally had time to get it hooked up. Im running it on my 92 hatch with a jdm gsr swap, built head and an-r header.

I bought a cheapo slip joint pipe to slip on the header and weld a flange on to bolt the exhaust up. The exhaust is extremely well made...full stainless, comes with a silencer. It exits at a tiny angle...I like it a lot.

Its a pretty large canister and I was expecting a raspy buzzy tone with no cat and the small resonator that comes on the b pipe. I was quite pleased with the sound though. It is really deep and not raspy at all, especially for not having a cat.

It screams in the higher rpm but still doesnt have that hollow tone most N1s have. Here are some pics and 2 vids(right click save as). The vid of the exhaust does it no justice, it sounds sick in real life. The other vid is just for fun https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

thanks. to tell u the truth, its loud...i had my friend rev it while i shot the video of the muffler. but its not annoying, can be quiet and has a silencer(but i only put it in to hear what it sounds like). Its on par with an apex n1, maybe a little more quiet

Re: Espelir Catback review with pics and vids (Casey)
 

How do you like your AN-R header? I was thinking about getting one but prolly the compact version...

Re: Espelir Catback review with pics and vids (909edge)
 

nice for the money, get a flex pipe to bolt to it though
