i got a super sweet deal on a atlp v2 jpipe n testpipe. i didnt hesitate to slap these on. OMG this shit is a good part. the fit was on point. the flanges are great. it took me less than 1 hr to install with a battery reset and idle relearn.

driving...
it didnt loose any back pressure at all.
it didnt loose any tq at all.
i feel more tq in mid-high rpm in 3rd-4th gear
it feels just right...

i havent done a 80-120mph sprint. i wouldnt know the outcome
iam guessing a 3-4hp gain with 8-9tq gain. (ass dyno)

as u know i vouch for this part if you have money to burn.

 

Didnt you have a RV-6 j-pipe then sell it because it wasnt an OEM product?

 

For realz?

 

i use to have A RV6 V3 JPIPE and f*ck THE ATLP v2 jpipe is better.

 

how so? do you track your TL or run at higher RPM's 5k +?

I bet your RV3 J pipe was 'loose' and that is why you didn't like it.

By simple physics and math, the RV6 V3 is slightly better then the combo you have now. And by the way, if you say 3-4hp, I'm 100% sure you don't feel that... The same thing your gf says about you.

 

Not bashing the ATLP pipe, but there's no way it outflows the RV6 V3 pipe, not that we have headers, but it's like shorties vs long tubes... yeah the longer tubes might move the torque peak up a little but they do make more power. I'm sorry you didn't "loose" any backpressure, if you lost some backpressure you might make more power.

 

This like everything else. Tracking your car high RPM's=atlp, daily drive=rv6

 

Sorry, but the ATLP V2/race pipe combo made more peak power than the RV6 V3 according to the dynos Marcus did. Longer primaries are better for low end torque/shorter for high end. RV6 is the purple graph and ATLP is green. The ATLP made significantly more power >5k, where as the RV6 had a solid torque advantage between 2.5-4k.

u think this is funny?

1st off the flanges on atlp is better
i had the rv6, i wasnt happy. climbing the rpms it felt werid, i lost tq. the back pressure wasnt there and it felt slower (ass dyno). the flanges look soo cheap like someone stuck a dremel to it.

atlp just feel more better, usable rpm.

 

I didn't notice you said that till the OP pointed it out. I admit, I did laugh.

 

Can you show the dyno results proving you lost tq?

And also why do you care about the aesthetic's of your jpipe?

 

Where were aesthetics mentioned? Build quality of flanges has nothing to do with aesthetics.

 

I just can't take you seriously.

 

 

its cool. stick to your call of duty

i had both the rv6 v3 jpipe and now the atlpv2testpipe and i feel a difference. the atlp is a good part. dyno charts r everywhere.

i have to admit the atlp is better.

 

You feel a difference. I'm pretty sure there's thousands of threads with actual dyno sheets that prove what both of these setups can do. Based on things you've said in the past I pretty much disregard anything you post.

 

atlp is better for tracking, rv6 is more of a daily driver. End of story you want statistics and dyno's search for it.

I don't think you understand the meaning of aesthetics.

"The flanges look so cheap"

This implies he's concerned that the flanges may not hold up well, which is a valid concern that deals with build quality, not aesthetics. Seeing how badly my ATLP V1 rusted, it's a definite concern when spending 400-500 on a pipe.


If he'd stated "The flanges aren't pleasing to the eye and don't flow well with the lines of the pipe", with no perceived notion of inferior quality, then that would be a matter of pure aesthetics.

 

I understand that.

You also stated you have the v1.

 

Funny because I remember the reason kingkong_dav sold his RV J-pipe was because he was tried of wasting money on trying to make the TL a fast car. Now he's saying it's because the RV j-pipe was crap quality. This guy can't make up his mind.

 

I don't care what you say that RV6 pipe I bought from you was better!! Haha.

 

last night i had the chance to do a 80-120mph sprint.
i have to say it feels normal w no change. but now driving from 50-80 is better, that is where i can feel a change.

iam not dissing on rv6 jpipe, the fact is it is a good part in some cases. i have the pcd from rv6 and its cool. but comparing jpipes i like the atlp v2 test pipe combo better, it just feel better.

next mod is atlp v2 quad exhaust system. atlp is a brand i can count on for results.

 

How do you like your PCD's do you personally think it's better than the J-pipe? Just asking.

 

daniel right?? yeah i think so. the pcd is f*cking easy power. pcd over jpipe bigggg time. jpipe is just 3-4% power adder, but pcd is more like 11-15%. do u kinda get what iam saying?. if not let me know

 

HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEH LOL!

ROFL!......."The same thing your gf says about you"
ROFL
LOL! reading this forum is better than watching Bill Maher!

 

What about the RACE PIPE? Does any of these mods fail emissions test..New Type S owner..

 

You should be able to pass. Test pipe should be able to change with the stock cat in place as well, which is why it wasn't one-piece for some states that does these tests. Asks questions to MrHeelToe, RV6, and XLR8 as they are active on the forum.

 

you may pass you maynot pass. i passed emissions with just the atlp jpipe. the o.e 3way catalyic converters are soo packed with substrate that you will pass with a 3 cat delete.

 

I can't speak to all state emission standards, but for California you need to have all catalytics to pass the visual inspection portion of the SMOG certification process.
