Curious on power gains as well as sound with stock exhaust.

I don't believe so. These jpipes are made by modifying our AWD TL jpipe. It is labor intensive and expensive to make. With the small market of RLs it would be cost prohibitive to pay for tooling and make them from scratch.

The SH-AWD does not like being dynoed. Even disconnecting the driveshaft will cause it to flip out. I have yet to find a mechanically linked awd dyno locally. The price will be set at $469 + shipping. It will take us about a week to take a TL jpipe and modify it.

Honda uses the same restrictive front jpipe section on all their cars. From experience the long runner design will add a good amount of mid range power and make a more aggressive exhaust tone.

I am pinching myself. After the ATLP/Heeltoe RL vaporware, we finally have a real product!

Thank you Richie V6, for bringing this to the 2G RL.

if you can't put a hp # on it, what if you just put the car on a drag strip and see if it makes any difference in the quarter mile?

that could be easily done anywhere. Hopefully on the same day at the same strip too, on video please.

First of all, we should all thank Rich for even thinking about us RL guys. It is quite a small market.

2nd, Rich is this something I can obtain a month or two down the road or are you only producing a limited amount? I noticed you said you had to modify the AWD TL's J-Pipe, so I would ASSUME it would be something I can purchase down the road. Which...I WILL purchase.

3rd...Where the HELL is the friggin sound clip I've been waiting for since last friday!?AGGGHHHHH!

The RL they test fitted on has aftermarket mufflers, so a sound clip wouldn't offer most of you (who are on stock exhaust) a realistic sound of what to expect. . I had this thing on my Accord and its the best legal mod for the J series motor (pre cat deletes are the best but not everyone wants to or can run catless)




I just placed my order though. Thanks Rich

Good man! Wait until you feel how much different the car will feel. You'll be happy. Fresh AC, a little more umph, and peace of mind you don't have another major service to worry about for over 100k miles.

I'll be joining you on that noodle month too!

Waiting to see some install threads and customer impressions. Does this cause any annoying check engine lights or codes?

No its impossible for it to cause a check engine light since it doesn't touch any of the sensors.

WAS a limited production run. It lasted a whole 24 hours. The demand is obviously not there.

As long as people keep buying them we will keep making them. However these do start off as a AWD TL jpipe that we modify in batches which might take some time to fill up. We are hoping to start shipping these early next week.
