ATLP J-Pipe: Tell me what you guys want! Remake
I've been wanting to do this part for such a long time but didn't want to duplicate something that "lookinco" already had. (which I sold to him 
)
Anyway, here is what I had in mind.
Of course it will be made by the same manufacturer that made the ATLP exhaust system possible. Stromung Exhaust Engineering. They have been in the industry for decades, focusing most their products on European cars, and turbo cars as well.
The whole unit will be mandrel bent, no crush bends!
Stainless steel all the way.
Beefy flanges.
2.25 inch inlets, and 2.5inch outlet.
Flex pipe.
TIG welded!
What I need to know is...
Keep or delete 3rd cat?
By deleting the 3rd cat, we will be able to run a bit longer "secondaries" and most likely get a bit more power mid-range.
Let's see some feedback!

well since lookinco is gonners might as well right... you'd have a monopoly on the acura parts...
still looking at your landing page and grinning since you still havent gotten it finished :'(
ATLP J-Pipe + ATLP Exhaust = 15hp/15lbs torque

Once you complete this project, maybe you can sell the J-pipe and the exhausts as a package...maybe?
could 2.25" all the way be an option for NA people?
Also, i vote to keep 3rd cat...

i say high flow all the way...as long as its carb compliant what are the cons to it? nothing...only power and torque..to me the car has pleanty of power down low..the top end power is what needs the gain..the car stays in vtec if you are shifting properly so when else would you need down low torque?

my 60 year old mother just bought herself a CLK550, and the torque on that thing is 391tq and 386hp. now granted, my acura drives so much better and gets to 60 in about 6.0, well the benz is 5.0.. but man, you hit the throttle of a torque'y car, that fucking this going 50mph before the nerves in your foot can actually feel the pedal pressed against it.. thats just my
...its mainly for throttle response.. how much "push" does the car have. hondas PULL their weight, not enough pushi've driven lots of cars, some nice and some crap. hondas LACK TORQUE. always have, always will.. some people have turbo acura CL's putting down 350+ whp, but only 250tq... thats why these cars will never get into the 12's

Honestly though, it really depends on where you are coming from, which is why I put up the poll. There are the few who drag, and need the most power on wide open throttle. And then there are those who just want a stronger mid range for around town driving and passing people on the highway going 50 when you drop it in 3rd...
and then there are those who could care less.
