Espelir JGT500 exhaust : opinions - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

nandanrp · 2004-10-05, 09:43 PM

JGT500 cat-back exhaust on an STi (stock except for the cat-back), is it very loud? I have heard sound clips, the exhaust sounds great...but is it loud only under moderate throttle, or is it always loud? Highway drone? Passengers will complain if it's too loud

Thanks for your opinions...

I think that's the one Eric has, and so far it's the best sounding exhaust on the Sti that I've heard... It's a perfect note that is not too loud...BTW...Welcome...

I think that's the one qksubi has!

pm him.

""I think that's the one.........""

This is my friend from MI who is buying the '05 STi. So be as nice to him as you would be to me.

Nandan, don't be a bitch, straight pipe.

I run a straight pipe, flat black rims, and STi pink springs... I love my car..Believe it or not, my straight pipe is retarded loud outside the car, but in the cab, it's quieter than most after market exhausts, because it dumps out past the bumper

<-- Takes the bus

Well, I drive a diesel now so that's partially true...

Thanks for the info guys, I'm mostly concerned about highway drone...opinions?

MattR · 2004-10-05, 09:52 PM

Seriuosly...if I buy an exhaust (besides my straight pipe) I will get the Espilir...I love the way Eric's sounds at all levels..

Haha I'm positive JC has shown me your car before...he's pushing me to immediately do the pinks, I'm on the fence for now about dicking with the suspension.

I want gunmetal winter rims

yeah, he made me take him for a ride at the meet a few weeks back, so he could report back to you his opinion on the pinks...IMO, the pinks make the car perfect...i love it twice as much now...

That's just Matt's way of saying "I love you." I bet it ends some relationships fast though.
