i hope you guys who have your jpipes are out shooting video today!!!

here in so cal it's 72 degrees today... perfect for a cruise / video shoot.. makes me wish i still had my boxster...

glad to hear fitment is good. if RV6 sold out of the first batch that fast.. i can't see why they wouldn't make more... if it sells, they will make it.

I already have my preorder in Just waiting for more people to do so, I'm sure Richie will get the second batch up when he receives more preorders.

Due to popular demand we will be making another 6 jpipes this week. Fatty will get the first one so there will only be 5 more for batch 2.

Someone pinch me? I can't believe this is happening. Actual product that has gone out, been installed, and we have a cruising video? For the 2G RL?

*PINCH* Yup, Zelaya's video was for real.

Thanks, Richie for being there for our members. Big thumbs-up.

And members, buy this! If I still had my RL, I'd be on board. I had a 5Zigen exhaust like Zelaya's and adding the J-pipe would have given even better sound. Memories.....can't believe I gave up my RL 3 years ago now.

question - is this RV6 J pipe CARB legal for us in CA?

or will we have to swap it in/out at smog time?

assuming my bolts are not frozen up... and they will come loose.. how fast can one have it swapped in out?

if i went to amuffler shop and had them do it - what am i going to spend labor wise on swapping this thing in out for a smog test?

Yeah, any one having second thoughts should get this. It has been a proven mod for the TL, Accord, TSX, and now the RL. This is the best bang for the buck for our cars performance wise I believe. Plus, there isn't much other mods out there for our car. I've been waiting for this for years!!! Also, Richie is a forum vendor which I'm sure if there are any issues, he will take care of us. Baaaaattccch number 2, here we come!!

Modding a dedicated toy car vs my daily driver is different.

My boxster only had cosmetic mods, power wise it was stock.

I want to see the video of before and after in stock exhaust first.

No need to pinch neuronbob, here's another one I did today in a garage. My wife help me with the driving while taking the video. I'm still trying to upload in 1080p but can't figure it out Oh well....

Damn that sounds good. It's nice and deep. That's got me half wanting to find my old RL now....

Kudos to the patient wife for filming you. My wife would look at me like I had two heads if I asked her to do that.

I'll check once I refill my tank again this week, maybe some other member who has done this mod could answer. Had to upload the video again with minor corrections.

This is tough to decipher. There are too many variables to get a truly accurate experiment from members here. Add in the fact that everyone will be flooring it around town , and you are even farther from an accurate answer.

No sound diffrence though, I'm gonna get a tanabe medallion axle-back kit for a 06-09 M35 and just run custom 2.5 piping back to the j-pipe.

I ordered one. this is one of those one-of-a-kind parts that will only be around for so long. I plan on having my RL for quite some time so its better for me to buy now rather than later. (read:: wood-look shift knob...)

You just made a wise decision. Keep in mind you will get more throttle and light sound. I was very skeptical when I ordered mine and I've no regrets.

I really don't know, but I am assuming since it will not cause a cel, it will?
