So long story short I shredded my j-pipe when I was static. And well I like loud noises so was thinking of running completely catless with maybe a mid res and mufflers(no inspection). Has anyone done this? Can I buy it from a company or do I have to weld test pipe.
note I've already cut out the mid cat
side note to the note if anyone is running d2 bags what psi do you run up front
any of the jpipes offered are going to be catless and sound good and provide great gains...
choosing one comes down to brand affiliation, customer service and availability.
so if you bought from a certain brand/manufacture before and enjoyed their customer service but shit aint available, then you're forced to go to the other brand/manufacture...
oh and course, price...
so, if one is too high of price, then you're forced to buy the one that cost less.
I have the RV6 Jpipe. which has held up for many many years. I bought the car in 2010 and probably upgraded very soon after that...so, lets say '11 or '12...
that's 9 or 10 years that the pipe has held up...(well, I shredded the flex pipe, and just welded straight pipe in it's place)

Not all J Pipes are catless, and some hang lower than others. I scraped this one up pretty bad the first day I lowered my car because I went down a street with a crazy dip and didn’t realize it until it was too late.
Also a lot of them are not available right now, the first J Pipe I had in my previous UA6 was a ATLP V2-R and I had no clearance issues even with being decently lowered, but this PLM J Pipe I have to be cautious with on my UA7.

Looks very similar to the XLR8 v2 which I don't see on their website anymore. Good to know this is available. Mine developed a hole (possibly it hit something in the road) and while a muffler shop was able to weld it and so far so good after a couple years, at some point I'm sure I'll have to replace it.
