RV6 V3 Long Tube J-Pipe Release '04-'08 TL all trims **UPDATE PAGE 4**

Introducing the RV6 V3 long tube J-pipe. This design is the result of months of hard work and testing. Four hours of dyno time was spent testing everything from piping sizes to tube length in order to tune this J-pipe for maximum gains. Over 10 revisions were made to the initial prototype in order to equalize runner length and most importantly maximize ground clearance. By tucking one pipe behind another we were able to do this with minimal cutting to the splash guard. (might not have to be cut) By completely removing the 3rd cat runner length was increased in order to take advantage of exhaust gas scavenging.





Dyno tests were performed on an unmodified 05 automatic base TL with 55k miles using a AWD Mustang dyno. We choose this vehicle because it is most common among the community. Higher gains are to be expected with the manual base and TL-s.

13 WHP peak gained
7 WTQ peak gained

15 WHP average gained
12 WTQ average gained



The introduction pricing for the V3 J-pipe will be set at $450 plus shipping. This J-pipe is much more complex to build and requires about twice the material then the earlier models. By reducing the number of flanges we are able to offer this J-pipe cheaper than any other J-pipe and race pipe combo.

Features:
2.25" Primaries
2.5" Outlet
Mandrel bends
TIG welding
Stainless 304 Piping and flanges

The J-pipe will be available around May 1st. I may get them a little before hand but I do not want to disappoint anyone.

I am taking preorders now.

If you don't mind, can you show a close up picture of the 2-1 combine at the firewall?

I will take some more pictures soon. I just wanted to get this jpipe released to stop the PMs and phone calls asking for pictures. You can see the merge a little better in this picture. Rest assured it is a modern merge and flows very well.

The V1 and V2 were originally designed for the Accord. I do not have any numbers for the TL. On a Accord with intake and exhaust the V1 gained 7whp and 5wtq. The V3 was design specifically for the TL, fitment still has to be confirmed for the Accord.

Ok, I have been waiting to purchase a jpipe for this. And it appears that was a very wise decision The only questions I have are...

1) For the novice, what does removing the 3rd cat do? Sound/Sensors?
2) What about emissions?

Thanks! I'll be putting my order is asap!

Don't know if I read properly but this removes the 3rd cat??
If so...
Would it be benificial to get the V3 JPipe and sell the Race Pipe I already have or... by a V2 JPipe?

1) You will be just fine. U may noticea slightly stronger exhaust smell with the 3rd cat removed. Sound/sensor wise, there is no change. 3rd cat simply unbolts from the j-pipe
2) Emissions will not be affected provided there is no visual inspection

^So no codes will be thrown, no sensors 'tricked', correct?

And removing the cat has to affect the sound. I would assume a v2 with a race pipe would sound similar to this?

means it's time to trade in your V2 already (like 2 months old lol) for the new version to go along with those other mods coming



and richie why can't you make something like this for us 2G'ers (even if it went along with the comptech headers or something, and replaced it's J-pipe)




btw i think also you should just never really actually combine the two banks, and just run true duals all the way back (since you got no O2 sensors to worry about picking up anything downstream)

That answers one of my questions...
But, my other question still remains; Would it be benificial to get the V3 and sell off my [ATLP] racepipe? Or would it be better to get the V2?

1. With a stock exhaust I noticed a slightly deeper tone. With a aftermarket exhaust the tone is even deeper with a grumble.

2. There are no sensors at the 3rd cat the car will never notice it is gone.

Yes, it will bolt up to and flow smoothly into any aftermarket exhaust.

I will ask the shop to send me a jpeg of the runs. This is the best I could do with my scanner. On the first day of testing we tested a 2" version and a ATLP V1. The V3 design came out on top. From what I remember it about was tied with the 2" and the and numbers were 4-5WHP less. I will see if they can send that dyno as well.

Yes the jpipe bolts on directly to exhaust instead of to the 3rd cat. The longer runners will definitely yield better gains.

I have plans for a 2G header but right now I am just swamped with projects. If you look closely at the merge doesn't it look like half a X pipe?

Looks great!

Primaries are long as fcuk lol.

I just wanna make this clear for everyone else.....this dyno was done on an AUTO UNMODIFIED TL. The ATLP and XLR8 were done on 6 speeds with at least an aftermarket exhaust. 13whp on a STOCK AUTO means more like 16-17 on a 6 speed, and prob 10-12wtq. With exhaust, who knows....great work Richie!

I'm still deciding because I am going with a 3" exhaust and may just go custom since I want to use a 3" collector from the Jpipe. But I'm not sure yet! Great work!
