Full exhaust combo
Hi, I am relatively new and have just fallen for tuning my car even if it isnt that fast. but know it has potential and letting it show definately makes me happy.
anyway I was wondering on what you alls take would be if I got the
ATLP race pipe
ATLP v2 Jpipe
ATLP base catback
and should i delete the 3rd cat? im not sure what this means i think it means to take off the third cat converter cause ive been reading a little. but arent i replacing it with the race pipe?
what would be my hp gain? i current run low slow 16s and would want that to change.
and my friend thinks i should get new headers but i dont ever see much of that on the forums

i'm in a similar dilemma. i think i'm doing the comptech exhaust system + Jpipe. and that'll be it all. when you remove the pre cats it doesnt pass smog and you replace it with race pipes as I seemed to have read. please someone correct me if i'm wrong.

our cars are CARB(california air restriction board)..Depending on what state you are from, I am from NJ you will be fine with removing the third cat. You can replace them with a high flowing cat as well. The J pipe is basically headers for our car. It goes pre-cats to J pipe to third cat to catback. All depends what sound you want and what you want to do with your car. I am S.C and dont want precats becuase it will lower boost. ATLP and XLR8 J pipes are the best, I have XLR8 with a rv-6 third cat delete and a comptech catback. If you just going to do bolt ons get intake/j pipe/third cat/catback/UR pulley( I have a new one for sale) it is 6 pounds lighter then stock and will free up H.P. and you will see a change in reving quicker. All those mods are fairly easy to do and gain MOST h.p. via dollar. Other then that you can go all out and get a S.C. or Turbo.

Our version of "headers" are the pre-cat deletes.
UR pulley will not increase HP, but "free" up 7-9 HP.
J-pipe is the best performance upgrade (XLR8 one especially)
Almost any catback will show same gains.
Low 16's = you're doing something wrong. Stock 5AT goes high 14's or low 15's.

free up means that our stock pulley is 8 pounds? the UR one is one pound? so turning 8 pounds is a lot harder to start then one pound...Hence why it revs quicker. Which is why it makes the engine work a lot easier which "frees up HP" which is almost like gaining HP/speed. Your basically just recovering lost HP, I have one for sale if you would like, brand new stock diameter.

pretty sure you can't change headers in 3g TL's

you'll probably be looking at a 20-25 whp top end gain with the j-pipe, race pipe, and cat-back
and to clarify, "third cat delete" is replacing your catalytic converter (or third cat) with a race pipe, which is a straight pipe, or test pipe, which is a slightly resonated pipe (the pipe has a larger diameter than race pipe)
you could also replace your stock cat with a high-flow cat from Rv6 but that would be more costly and provide less gains.
