HEy guys got an update from anzbo today
Hi,
Thanks for the inquiry. The RL J-Pipe is a bit of a touchy subject still. It just happened that after we reached the initial 15, was when we release the UA5 Dual Exhaust and Acura RDX exhaust. Both with a number of following interested people.
Put a big dent into the funds and that is why I haven't made anything for the RL's as of yet. Give me a few weeks for the smoke to clear (currently working on the Base TL Exhaust) and I'll see if everyone is still interested.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Michael Yu

Hey guys,
Sorry for the HUGE lack of communication. Thanks Fredren for PM'ing me.
As I said in my PM, the last two projects (UA5/RDX) were a big fall out and took a lot of R&D funds that made me have second thoughts about going after small niche markets. In my head, I put the RL on the side burner (not back burner!) but totally forgot to publicly address it.
But I realize you guys are still waiting and I should be getting this project off the ground. We already had Supregreen come down to do an initial check, and everything looks good. We will be going with the J-Pipe route for this system, and not the true-dual. We are currently in the midst of the new Base TL exhaust, and the new J-Pipe for the TL. I'll line up this part next.
Please express your opinions about this part. If we are able to keep the design the same we can keep the cost on par with the current J-Pipe. The gains should also be the same, although may express a bit less on paper due to the drivetrain spread of AWD.

Hell, if it'll help advance the project I'd be willing to pay in advance.. maybe some others would be equally willing to do so..
Let's keep the interest up so we can get a mod for our RLs!

Yeah, but when you combine that with an intake and exhaust, there is more.
Of course, we need pre- and post-install dynos for this particular part so we can see what the reality is.

yes, last time i spoke to mike, he said it pretty much was, this was the response he sent me
so unless someone is in his area and willing to be the prototype, no go
At this point, yes. Sorry, the only person we had that was our prototype is/has gotten rid of his car and is no longer interested as he is disappointed in the RL.
Thanks for the interest, sorry I can't be of more help at the moment."

I would venture to say the current (especially new) owners will embrace mods more than previously as an increased number of vehicles come off lease and change hands.
Hopefully some of the new owners will provide some feedback about this mod too!!

There's GOT to be someone willing to do the deed.
