Does anyone have a custom J-pipe done by a mechanic exhaust shop? Post pic please.......and would it be affective as the Brand names if done right?

 

If done right, it could be better..

Done right now thats the hard part..

 

this is me being a jerk... but there are 3 jpipes... technically speaking they are all CUSTOM...

 

^ Agreed. Not sure how many other ways you could do it and get similar gains. Although, if you know somebody that's skilled enough to do it and can get a really good deal, give it a shot. But, I doubt you'd get anything better than what's available simply becuase of the R&D that's gone into those already.

 

yea agreed. By the time its said and done, your probably gonna pay the same and won't have to worry about them having your car for days to mold it. They're all pretty much the same so why not just help the guys out here that are trying to help us out with performance stuff for our cars.

 

If by custom you mean ONE-OFF then yeah I have a custom j pipe

Save yourself the trouble and just buy an existing one!

 

^^^^Agreed +1 I had one made while i was gettin my exhaust done sorry no pics though. It is worth the money to just get the pre made. Mine made a huge diffrence in power but doubt any thing like the others. oh yea and still cost near as much.

 

Haven't been on this site in about a year... Sorry, I'm not so much of a gear head, I just enjoy trolling sites about my car to look for possible low-cost sound/performance upgrades. I've deleted my mid-muffler, added a resonator, and also have the AEM CAI...

I know I'm a noob... Someone explain to me this "j-pipe", or just link it. Is it being placed where my resonator is now? I've been somewhat impressed by the resonator I got but... I could use a bit deeper of a sound... Something that turns heads. How much are yall paying for this upgrade? (-.-)V peace

 

I think I may have answered my own question... $575 no? Heh... Paid 60 bucks to delete my midmuffler etc.

this doesnt change the sound too much, but there is a noticeable increase in power. i would pick up one of these and do a 3rd Cat delete, either with the ATLP race pipe, or high-flow Cat, or a similar products from RV6. you could also do the pre-cat deletes from RV6, but he will have to worry about emissions testing if you are in a state that does that. the pre-cat delete gives the highest gains, but it does effect emissions and is a little harder to install.
