Without searching, is this the same person that wasted our time last year on the same thing? If so, I'm not investing my time or money with the hope it will actually get anywhere this year.
If it is someone else then perhaps.

 

470 it looks like this started in 08, so you are probably right...

Thanks for pointing that out.

Did anyone ever get a one installed since then?

 

Thats unfortunate, as this could have been a nice mod. Maybe someone else will step up. There are at least 2 other manufactures offering J pipes on the TL and TSX boards.

 

gta

 

i hope they make it. it would be nice to have some more tq for the RL.
hopefully someone local will step up and let them use their car for fitting.

 

I'm more then willing to let them use my car for test fitting. I PM'd Mike (aznbo87) with my phone number and have not heard anything yet. Ill let you guys know when I do.

 

Thats progress, keep us posted Dopes

 

Since I'm in Oakville, if this were to get made and you were to make a purchase, I could facilitate the border crossing as a favour for a fellow enthusiast.

 

sounds like a drug deal.. HAHAHA
last time i was there, i was searched and my car was xray'ed.
i had FL plates and told them i was only staying a day. I go to school 1.5 hrs from the border

 

Thank you ! Now if only it gets made !

 

Awesome! Dooo eeet! Even though I no longer own my RL, I'd love to see this get done.

 

I set a date with Mike to mock up the J-Pipe on Wednesday 4/14. Hopfully they can finish the prototype quickly and get it test fitted so it can move to production.

 

Dopes,
you're AWESOME! btw 4/14 is my bday haha hope i get good news on that as part of the day

 

 

I'm sorry to hear, but I understand where you are coming from. I do apologize again for the fall-through and lack of communication on our part. Hopefully down the road you may give us another chance, and if not, thank you again for giving us a chance from the beginning.

We have also just set up a date to start on the prototype part on design and have had very nice gains on the same engine (3.5l 4G TL) with the J-Pipe we just developed for the Base 4G TL. We will offer a design that enables will allow the end-user to opt for a 3rd cat elimination, or retain Hi-Flow Metal catalysts (at an additional cost of about $225).

As far as the concern with the 3rd cat delete version, I realize there is a concern with passing emissions. Our J-Pipes/Race Pipe setup with the 3G TL that eliminates the 3rd catalyst have had a lot of clients passing emission, although we never tested that here. We will go ahead and setup a stock 2G RL with the 3rd catalyst removed and our setup to have it checked at a smog center to see if it passes emissions.

Thanks!

 

Mike,
plans sound good, glad to have things rolling.
btw how many cell are your HFC? i seen some as low as 100 cell that pass emissions

 

The metal catalysts we use are 200-cell count. It's extremely free-flowing and you can literally feel a light breath flow through on the other end. I'm still fairly certain that it will pass emissions without issues with no catalysts in that section as the primary catalysts are extremely efficient, thus we will make sure it get emission tested so that you guys will know what your getting yourself into if you decide to go that route.

 

doesnt matter to me, either way my state doesnt have emissions (fl)

 

Now thats what Im talking about! I will get the full setup that you offer. But please do so quick before I spend all my money on something else!

 

Hot damn! Count me in.

Please post lots of photos, I'd like to see the test fit.

 

I will defiantly be buying the full setup from them after they get it done. If they will let me take a few pics of the process I will post them here for you guys

 

Thank you, cause your pics and feedback will sway my decision to purchase a full system.

 

OMG one more week

 

Hi count me in. No emissions were I'm at so I would like the 3rd cat delete.

 

Alright guys minor setback today... On the way to work I went to pass someone on the freeway and when the transmission tried to drop into 3rd gear is just let go and bounced off the rev limiter for a second before I let off the gas. The "D" light flashed for about 30 seconds after the slip. Now every time it shifts into 3rd gear under 60% or more throttle the "D" light flashes once or twice on the dash. So I'm dropping the car off at the dealer today for them to take a look. I have replaced all 3 pressure switches and did a 3x3 ATF change. Worst case ill probably be replacing my transmission soon since I found one locally for $750 with 60k miles on it...

Either way though I will get it (limp it?) to the test fit session.

 

Oh man... Sorry to hear that.

 

sorry to hear about your transmission problems.
i am excited and grateful that youre still going to the fitting.
thanks !

 

i would like to see pics

 

Any updates? How is the trans?

 

The dealer still cant figure it out... They have duplicated the issue but nothing comes up in the computer. They are going to talk to the "tech line" tomorrow to see what ideas they have. Either way I told them I have to take the car on Wednesday so I wont have any problem doing the test fitting.

 

youre the man! thanks for contributing to the community.
limping it in for test fitting.. ahaha,
i cant wait to see the product

 

How was the fitting?

 

It went very well... Michael at ATLP was awesome in setting the whole thing up. The prototype is about 1/2 way done and he took a bunch of pictures. If the true-dual setup does work out the way we are hoping, it will look and perform very nicely since the bends will be WAY smoother then stock. We will be planning a 2nd test fit/mock up session mid next week so its defiantly getting closer.

 

Thats good news. I hope everything goes through.

 

sounds good. thanks for the updates.

 

I thought this was for an OEM 2-1 replacement.

 

They are trying to make the true-dual setup work first and if they can wedge it in the small space provided then they will make the j-pipe using the template that's already made. They are hopefully going to have both models done close to the same time.

 

hey that's progress, I will take it.

 

FINALLY! Progress! I am pleased at the progress even though my RL is gone. Let's get some more folks on the list so this can be officially made.

 

Sounds like things are moving along nicely. I'm still very much interested, just hoping here that the first batch won't have fitment problems like the one for the TL that had rubbing issues with the oil pan.
