Ignore my previous post. I managed to find two great threads regarding this issue.

lol^^ nothing agaisnt buying new just curious cause i buy everything used off the black market. it sucks cause i gotta wait but i saved tons of money. gonna be fully bolted for way under $3000 lol but its all good and i dont wanna jack this guys thread anymore and go off topic lol

 

I would also add a high-flow cat (right in between the j-pipe and quad exhaust, replaced the catalytic converter) Don't get a test pipe because your exhaust will be very raspy and the smell is a little worse.


Same here, I just feel more comfortable buying new performance parts then used just me I guess

 

Shit I'm headed the same way

 

is this a decent one to buy?
and im like you i buy it all new, just feel better about the quality if i know its new

 

No offense bro, but I disagree a little bit.

I did notice that I got some drone back after adding a test pipe.

Stock exhuast = no drone
"Stage 3" Stock exhaust hack = light drone @ high gear/low RPM; good Tone
"Stage 3" plus J-Pipe = Drone almost gone; Great Tone
"Stage 3" plus J-Pipe plus Race Pipe = light drone @ high gear/low RPM; Great Tone


As far as smell, I never noticed any difference.

FWIW: I do NOT have pre-cat deletes. The TL-S however does have high(er) flow cats for all three cats.

 

None taken JP

But I should have been more clear, I meant to say he should get a high-flow cat if he decides to get pre-cat deletes. I had the test pipe with ATLP base exhaust and J-pipe and it sounded beautiful, but now that I got pre-cat deletes, a high flow cat is a must, IMO.

BTW, are you coming out to the Raleigh meet with us?

 

Turbo!

 

does adding all these parts affect the MPG? increase? decrease?
