Just placed an order while sitting here at work. I'm so excited I probably look like an idiot grinning at the computer.

Good sale Richie. You definitely got my attention/business with it.

This looks like a nicely crafted piece. I am on the fence right now, as this will be my first performance mod on my 06 5AT. Does anyone else out there have this mod on their otherwise stock 5AT? Is the performance a noticeable improvement that you can feel? Also, I'm on a partial TL Diet. What is the weight of this piece vs. the pieces it will be replacing? Thanks!

im sure innacurate knows the exact weight.. others may know it too (try searching), but anyways from my experience when i put mine on i did notice that the stock j-pipe and third cat were noticably heavier. so in your case that makes this product even better for you, more performance AND less weight. you will love it man, to be honest i did feel the car a bit quicker in the mid-range, but that is just according to the butt-dyno...lol. when i put my j-pipe on i already had a cai and maybe that is why i didnt notice a difference in sound. i say just jump on this deal, it is a must have, only thing i regret is not getting the pcd's first those put out a lot more power but they are next on my list.

jr27, thanks for your honest opinion. I have tried searching to find the weight differential already but was unable to find anything. Does anybody have this info. and any further driving impressions?

Did not weigh mine, but like JR27 I felt a substantial weight difference between the two.

I do not know the weight of the new RV6 V3 J-pipe. However, I probably can come fairly close to estimating the weight savings.

When I installed my XLR8 J-Pipe (including removing misc brackets), I lost 4-1/2 lbs. When I replaced the oem 3rd cat with a test pipe, I lost 3 lbs.

Overall, I lost 7-1/2 lbs by removing the oem J-pipe and oem 3rd cat. However, the RV6 V3 will probably be slightly heavier than my setup because the RV6 V3 has those dual pipes extending to the rear flange.

I will estimate that the RV6 V3 J-pipe will save 6 lbs over the oem J-pipe and oem 3rd cat.

Funny enough...having both in my hand...it felt like a lot more than 6 pounds, and when I did that I actually thought of Inaccurate since I've been following the weight reduction thread. I swear it felt like more like 12-15 pound difference in hand. But didn't weigh it...Richie might be able to confirm.

Thanks Inaccurate! I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me. Looks like it's time to plunk down some $$$ on this j-pipe. 8lbs is like removing another boat anchor out of my car!

It will be a great day, but the 21st-22nd will be even better as that is most likely when we will receive it...
