Does anyone have any personal experience with the Espelir JGT500R Catback Exhaust System, especially on 6thGen 4-Cylinder Accords. I am considering their exhaust for my 2000 Honda Accord EX, F23A4, 5spd.

So far, I've researched and found they are a little loud, come with a silencer however, are 100% Japan made, 100% stainless steel, 100% street legal, full-catback exhaust system, Mandrel bend piping, bolt-on system, 60mm piping, 100mm tip. (sizing is for most models including 98'-02' Accords)

Here is a little info from a site about Espelir:

"GT racing is fierce competition that draws great support everywhere from the race fans to car manufacturers. Japanese top race drivers dream to participate in this professional racing series. ESPELIR has been participating in this racing series as a racing team. We innovate new technologies in order to win, then, apply these innovations and techniques into our JGT 500 exhaust. We will take you to the top of your class with our products.

We have succeeded in keeping the sound to a minimum, but have also retained a low, deep powerful signature sound. By controlling the exhaust flow, we have kept the internal exhaust resistance to a minimum which increases torque.

The exhaust system weight has been kept to a minimum and every application keeps a minimum ground clearance by utilizing a compact main muffler.

Our innovative exhaust silencer has a unique spring that eliminates sound vibration and potential damage to muffler internals.

The ESPELIR JGT 500 exhaust is a landmark composition in this industry. The best material - technology and performance learned from racing - real world results."

Lol, very very specific post.

So if you're not running one of 100's of exhausts post in with input.

I had an WS2 and enjoyed it. I think had removed the cat it would have sounded a bit less raspy. Other than the a range of around 200 rpms where it had a rasp it sounded excellent. There is an "exhaust thread" with soundclips linked to youtube.

Yeah I checked out the review thread, but wanted something more up to the minute, as in a current discussion. Thanks though.
