Espelir exhaust? Should I or Should I not?

I can get it for 550 brand new but not so sure. pipe size is only 60mm wich is stock exhuast size and they have 114mm tips (4 inch) so u think its worth it for pay a little more fopr a little bigger exhaust piping?

pictures are at vividracing.com in there exhuast section for rx8

well, espelir exhaust = really good once broken in, I just realized I haven't broken her OR my midpipe in until now............

I get a very deeper tone now, sounds like a formula 1 car ?? - -??
and its still as quite as stock at partial throttle

i can't say anything as to the piping, but i love my espelir exhaust; and i didn't spend $100 on mine used (got it for $200, still worth it imo).

it starts off loud as hell in the beginning but after it settles down, all that's left is a deep exhaust stone at idle that doesn't get really loud until you really push it.

plus, you get that "pop" sound.

if you want sound and looks then you can get the exhaust. or you can get performance and sound with a midpipe or hi-flow cat.

thats freakin strange............ I swore when I got it (5-6 months ago) used ones were anywhere from 100$-200$ usually about 200 or 150.........new ones at that time were somewhere between 300-400$..........I remembered because I thought I got a great deal and was like..........awww its not expensive in the first place

anyone else care to join in? my memory might be failing

I'm looking at it here, total $645 includes shipping
http://hopupracing.com/esmarx8caex.html

I'm trying to find something on the relatively quiet and cheap side, but still new, and I've settled on either this or the Corksport. The CS seems to be a nice piece and sorta underrated, as I havn't herd a single negative thing about it.

So hard to decide.....$650 is a lotta money too, heh prolonging the decision. One day after a night of drinking I'll just bust out the credit card and do it haha
