Obviously you can't quote me on Richies prices since I'm not one of his employees or him LOL but I'm guessing somehwere in the $450ish range. And yes it will give you a deep exhaust note, not louder but deeper.

if you have an iphone or anythign similar - you could just shoot a short HD video... the quality would be good enough for us to at least get a *taste* of what thing thing sounds like!!

it's not snowing in your garage? or in a parking garage? or under a bridge?? how about some startup / idle / and throttle blips also??

VIDEO! VIDEO! VIDEO!

I love to see that RV6 is expanding his line up. All Acuras and Hondas should have a J-pipe. The stocky is sucky!

I lied..I spent way to much recently. I'll get it in 2 weeks since I got to have my other mods done first....I also hope its not first come first serve...

Sounds like a reasonable amount of work for someone trying to sell a performance part.

So they need to pull a driveshaft and run dynos.

What's the problem. Was just on the order link ... thinking gee, sure wish there was a dyno graph.

$500 and installation is a chunk of money for "I dunno"

The only way to get an accurate one would be to disconnect the driveshaft like neuronbob(I think) and a few others have done. Thats a bit much and you still would only get FWD HP #s. I'd expect 8-15 whp and wtq throughtout the powerband maybe a little less or more seeing as though every other FWD Honda V6 has gained 10-15whp and 10-17wtq from this. I saw the picture of the RV6 Jpipe RL ChiTown got and its GLORIOUS! I will be ordering one as soon as I here back from Richie. Funds are on standby.

They don't have dynos for the 4G TL either. It may be due to the inconsistencies of the SH-AWD on the dyno. Companies have been bit in the past when they claim power increases that are false or are not real world attainable. Mazda comes to mind with the RX8 class action suit their customers turned on them. It also does not likely bid in favor enough of RV6 to run a dyno with hit or miss readings. They sound like a small company to me and are likely banking on their reputation among forum enthusiasts to carry them through this experiment.

I could careless about power gain. I drive like an 80yr old anyway. I just want something that has a small yet aggresive note with no raspiness.

Why? I wonder if Rich is extending 3 more. When I spoked with him yesterday he told me he is only doing 5 total but needed 3 orders to built the jpipe. Hopefully I'll see mine the second week of March, maybe I can meet with L's and do exhaust comparison with the jpipe. I hope I won't be disapointed

I think if he see more RL owners interested he will do more. Unfortunately there's is not a lot RL enthusiam like the TL's thread. I mean he is using a 4th Gen TLAWD jpipe to make this mod.

The problem is not everyone just has $500 sitting around for a mod for their car within 48 hr notice. If it's a matter of modifying an AWD TL jpipe, this shouldn't be a limited production.
