ATLP J-Pipe Increases

I'm getting kind of restless waiting for my ATLP base exhaust (I'm in the second batch )

The modding bug is really itching because I like the sound I'm getting from my AEM CAI and the responsiveness I'm getting from the lightweight drive pulley but I know the car isn't flowing the way it needs to.

I was going to wait until the exhaust was coming to order the High-Flo cat and the J-pipe in order to save on install cost. But from what I'm hearing there is alot of mid-range torque to be had from just getting the J-pipe. If that's the case I'd jump on it.

What I guess I'm trying to get at is feedback on increases from just a J-pipe installation. How well does it work with the smaller stock exhaust?

it kicks ass!!! i got that and the race pipe(3rd cat delete) and it was a nice little boost. all i have is a CAI and a TBS, but the rest of my exhaust is stock. from what i hear, you will probably get a bigger boost from the j-pipe than you will from the catback.

Jpipe/3rd cat delete is amazing. I just had mine installed last week. Once the car hits VTEC it feels like a rocket ship!

I installed the J Pipe and Race Pipe 2 weeks ago. It does make a difference both in general driving and when I get on it. The exhaust is a bit throatier also. Overall, I am very pleased with both the results and with the ATLP parts; really good quality and everything fits perfectly....

a little, but from what i can remember it adds a lower tone, like more bass from a stereo, but it doesnt get too much louder. if you look at the stock pipe compared to the aftermarkets you can just see how much better these things are put engineered. A+ in my book!

Thanks I think I'll put my order in today but the race pipe I believe is out of stock dammit. So I guess it's High-Flo Cat for me.

Anyone else ever read the ATLP Blogs?

He announced yesterday a new J-pipe design.

Better ground clearance, more equal length piping, ATLP J-pipe V2 ftw!

Oh well, since I don't plan on slamming this car the extra clearance, which will be nice, isn't as big of a deal. I would imagine performance will be similar.

Oh damn! That looks very nice, I like the merger pipe. Is this gonna be priced any differently than the current Jpipe? It looks as if there will be no change in flow too! Plus better clearance

And words of another option of pre-cats...
