^i can answer that, it's running fine...why wouldnt it run fine???

an exhaust doesnt change much in reliability. it will run exactly how it ran before he put on the rv6 exhaust

I am not asking about reliability. I want him to answer and say how he likes it now. He said earlier it was too loud for him, and he got used to it.

thanks for expounding your question.
your first question asked, "how is it running with RV6?" thus my answer!

now that you've asked your question in greater detail, he can give a better answer

Everything is running great

I have grown accustomed to the sound and I am still in love with the setup.

That's great man. It's not too loud for you anymore I see. Do those RV6 tips look like the Type S Oem quad exhaust?

They do look similar to the stock tips... Just more "meaty" looking. Not overly flashy but just right

I did go for a dyno with another TL. He just had the RV-6 J-pipe. The problem was they the operator of the dyno had absolutely no clue on what he was doing Therefor, after some debate here on Acurazine, we felt that the graphs were inaccurate...

Thanks Morrissey, post up results of a dyno if you are able to find somebody that knows what they are doing!

Hey Morrisey

Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and comments. They've been very helpful as well as the community in general. I finally pulled the plug and I bought the hfpc's, x-jpipe and tru dual exhaust from rv6; I had it installed yesterday and it has been amazing. When the technician first cranked the car after the install there was a huge smile on my face even the owner of the muffler shop said and I quote "its nice to finally here a Great exhaust note". He said that of his 20 years in the business he's rarely seen such a great aftermarket build (maybe it's because I live in georgia, but regardless it made me proud of the product). The car does feel a lot lighter like I don't have to step on the gas as hard to get to the 60 in a certain period of time. I will say inside it's a bit loud but I guess it'll just take some getting used to. Richie if you can see this thanks again for building great products and keep up the awesome work

Sorry that I haven't responded sooner... I have not checked this thread in some time. I am glad the my posts and comments could help you to"pull the plug" and get the (almost same) set up as mine. I would love it if you could post up some videos so that I could compare the x-j-pipe to the j-pipe that I have...

Your comments are the reason that I love this forum....

Good luck with your set-up...

Hey man, I have the same set up - HFC's from RV6 , J pipe from RV 6 , just haven't gotten the Rv6 dual exhaust , I love my Oem type S quad exhaust. My setup sounds good as is, and I love the stealth look.

The thing with the 1st gen TD is that it looked very close to stock...

After all this time, I still love it. Now I just need for Ritchie to continue work on a turbo for the 3G

I got made fun of for the tiny tips on my 1st Gen TD...
Ended up having some custom ones welded on (although the guy that did it refuses to source them for anyone).

The A-Spec bumper is a must for quads... Regardless of the tiny tips for the base bumper guys or the tips like I have... All the magic of this exhaust happens before you get to the tips

Hey no worries man, it's no big deal . I don't have any good videos yet but I'll make sure to take a couple once I get a chance. I have a really crappy in-cabin video that I took with google glass from a couple of days after I installed it. I don't think it's a good video since I didn't have clear space to go WOT lol but I'll make sure to update this once I have more videos.

In the meantime here's the link to the crappy video:

I agree totally...the magic is the sound, quality and look of it!
I bought the exhaust 2nd hand, but boy did I get ridiculed for the size of the tips! I probably let peer pressure get to me because I personally thought they fit so perfectly and were the perfect angle. I am pretty happy with the new look too though!
