Review of Espelir JGT500 True Dual/T-Pros Test Pipes
 

So I installed my JGT500 TD and T-Pros Test pipes before I went to HIN AC on Saturday. First of all, the quality of the exhaust is amazing, its fit and finish are first class and its backed by a 3-year warranty. The T-Pros test pipes' finish I must also say were excellent.

Sound: The change is sound is so awesome. Its definitely not ricey or very loud. To me the sound level is perfect. At idle, its very similar if not equivalent to stock when the car warms up. At highway cruise its also very similar to stock at about 2500-2700 RPM. Most my friends were in awe at how excellent this setup sounded. It really brought out the muscle in this car, and makes it sound so aggressive at WOT. There is a bit of rasp between 3-4K RPMS b/c of the test pipes, but its nothing I cant live with, its barely there then its gone.

Power: I definitely felt a nice gain with this combo. The entire band seems to have extended low-mid-high. Especially the mid-high. Many people have complained about the fuel smell with test pipes, but its only my 3rd day and its basically gone. I drove with my windows down even the first day and it wasnt bad at all, for the first hour I did honestly smell it, but afterwards, I noticed it going away.

Final Verdict: Id recommend either one of these products to anyone, but it'd be best to couple them. Sure the exhaust tips arent the biggest and most aggressive, but they do look great and Espelir will be releasing bigger Ti tip extensions, so Ill pick those up when they're released.:) :)

well, let's hear it

Nice. I just replaced my Kinetix HF cats with the Tpro resonated TPs, and the sound level is the same - no real rasp and not louder. I am happy with them.

Ill have a video posted later this week.

Heres a pic for now. Much better pics will follow.

Aren't the piping 2 inch in diameter? Is that kind of small for the Z?

Well the stock pipe is about a 2.5 but then again its a single exhaust, this is a dedicated individual header back TRUE DUAL. I guess when you think about it, each header going out to a 2" isnt so bad. I liked that it wouldnt be too loud either.

wow! why dont you come on by this wednesday nite @ westbury so we can hear it! LoL... check out tsz33.com for more info

my invite still stands... tsz33.com

Ok ok, you guys got me, Ill come out next Wednesday to Westbury meet, Ive been meaning to for a while. I had a good time with our lil TSZ33 get togethers in the past, just havent been able to come out due to work recently but Ill be there next Wednesday.

when and what meet were you in last? i've got that exhaust on order and been meaning to hear it.

Tri state meet way back in February and usually thursdays on central ave in westchester.

BTW, how much did you get it for, and are you going to be running test pipes too?

Where is the sound clip and high res photos? How much did you pay?

I paid 1000 even shipped from a friend at Mackin. Here are the high res photos. Sound clip to follow sorry for the wait guys.

Which one is it, the one in the smaller pics or the one in the description pics below. They're not the same exhaust, Espelir also had an older dual exhaust, I have the newer model and I actually got it for $900 shipped as well, I forgot that I added an ARC oil cap/radiator cap on the same order that was $1000 shipped.

Is it just me or does it look like the HKS Power just non titanium tipped?
