I don't know about ATLP j-pipe + race pipe, but J-shift j-pipe + test pipe is as quiet as stock because the stock resonators. It does get a little louder at WOT, but not much. I also felt a big power jump (butt dyno)! I'm sure with just an aftermarket cat-back is going to be louder.
But if you don't want a louder than stock exhaust note but more power, stick with the stock catback.

ATLP catback will be much louder.

With the catback you're deleting the stock mid-muffler and resonator so it's going to be much louder.

so if i take out the resonator...will it sound more like a cat back?

Sonnick

Yes..but it will be a little raspy if you replace the resonator with a straight pipe. If you put another resonator in its place (Dynomax, Magnaflow, AeroTurbine, etc), it should get deeper. However, replacing the mid-muffler with a straight pipe will give you more of a "catback-like," sound. There are videos on youtube that should help just search "TL Stage 1 exhaust."

The mid-muffler delete describes the "Stage 1" exhaust mod, and both the mid-muffler delete and change in resonator is labeled as "Stage 2."

I have the RV6 J-pipe/test pipe with the stock exhaust and just unbolted the driver side muffler. There is a little rasp when revving, but when driving normally inside it sounds wonderful. At WOT, the intake/exhaust mix is... I just wish I could hear what it sounds like outside while under a load but none of my friends up at school drive stick

I will get a video up later on tonight. I'll try to get a friend to record from outside.

Don't do a straight pipe.. PLEASE, it's the ricest thing you can do. Go with a aftermarket resonator at least. On the contrary the ATLP Catback is a straight pipe also, but the mufflers etc change the tones nicely.

What does a race pipe do?

deletes the 3rd cat.

So if I don't want to delete the 3rd cat I can still install the J-pipe without the race pipe right?

Bleak

iTrader: (1)

Yea, every j-pipe sold here except for rv6-v3 keeps the 3rd cat.

I wouldn't worry too much about keeping the 3rd cat though.

Horditruck

Sorry for all the questions but i just want to clear something in my mind.

The 3rd cat keep emissions leveled
