I doubt it's a single canister. I think he's only showing pics of what the Espelir exhausts generally look like. If I'm not mistaken I've seen the Espelir exhaust on the Volk Racing RX-8 that you see in most IAS and show circuits. As far as I know. noone has bothered to look under there except me and it has the Espelir exhaust. It looks great.

I have been running the Espelir exhaust for some time now and it looks nothing like the ebay picture. The unit looks somewhat like the AutoExec unit. Pretty well made and not too "ricey" in terms of sound. My only complaint is that the muffler tips turned "copper" color and doesn't have that polished stainless steel look.

How long have you had the exhaust? I thought the one on the Volk 8 was still a prototype.

how does that picture resemble anything close to the autoexe unit?

Autoexe is a dual exaust.... and the one in the picture is a canister exaust.....Autoexe isnt.....etc etc...

I think he meant the actual Espelir exhaust, that is on his car looks like the AutoEXE. Not the one Kel RX8 provided pictures for...

The actual Espelir exhaust for the Rx-8 is a dual. As far as I know all the exhausts on the market for the 8 are duals.

I think you missed the "it looks nothing like the ebay picture" part.

e.g. the Espelir exhaust looks like the autoexec, not the one pictured at above.

The exhaust looks a lot like the AutoExec exhaust. Compare it to the HyperRev advertisment... very uncanny in terms of exterior looks. I had the exhaust for two months now. It's great at WOT.
