Hi. I have got wheels tires, cross drilled slotted brakes, k&n intake mid muffler delete, but I want my car to be faster.

I find that with my new wheels my car is a little bit slower, which is to be expected. Anyways...what can I do to make this car faster without breaking the bank?

J-pipe

davewhodavedunn

what does this "j pipe" do for me?

what does it cost?

what does it sound like, or does it adjust the sound when I already have the mid muffler deleted?

What are the pros and cons as all mods have some?

Richie v6

A mod you can feel.

davewhodavedunn

ok, sounds alright, but what will this do when I need to get an emission test for my vehicle?

Souljah

The J-pipe will pass any emissions (visual and sniffer).
Richie's V3 may not pass visual as it deletes the 3rd Cat. But I HIGHLY doubt the inspector will even know, unless the individual owns a TL or just that knowledgeable.

can someone simply tell me, without posting threads, what the j-pipe will do for my 06 tl with mid muffler delete?

All your questions have been answered before, and that is why people are posting threads. They are even making it easy for you to read instead of saying "SEARCH" for it.

But...

A J-pipe, will replace the restrictive stock exhaust piece called a "J-pipe" that is the first piece of the exhaust that comes from the exhaust manifolds to the 3rd cat. Getting an aftermarket one will increase the flow of your exhaust thereby freeing up more HP/Trq for you.

J-pipes cost anywhere from 350 - 450 that I've seen, new and used might be slighty cheaper.

It might change the exhaust tone a little bit, but not much from what I've "read"

Pro's - more HP/TRQ

Con's - Kind of pricey, and some models of the J-pipe are not "drop friendly" aka - scrape sometimes with a lowered car.

Souljah

^Exactly.... I've provided threads for your laziness.

A: Increased exhaust flow, lets your engine breathe easier.
A: There are three companies. Prices may vary.
-RV6 V3, $450
-XLR8, $400
-ATLP V2, $400
A: You will barely hear an exhaust tone difference,if any, with J-Pipes
A: All pros, no cons. Emissions legal, increase in performance and less weight.

XLR8 J-Pipe is the one that hangs lower than the rest and is prone to scraping while bottoming out.

davewhodavedunn

you guys got me interested for sure. I dont know if it will pass canadian emissions test, dont know if they are different. Anyways I might try it. How long do they take to install? will they rust or corrode in the winter with salt on the roads?

Install is not hard at all unless u have some corroded or rusty bolts besdies that, its easy. i just did my XLR8 j pipe and was very pleased with the fitment power and quailty. and if ur not lowered or going more than 2inces this is the one i would recommend.

This just made me even more excited about my ATLP Jpipe I'm ordering.

davewhodavedunn

I dont know guys, im still up in the air about this one. I am just worried about it corroding over the winter and rusting and then needing to replace it.

Also worried about the emissions test and if it will actually give me 10hp as the graphs show.

All mods have cons, but people are not saying them about this one.

This will corrode less than the stock Jpipe. Contact Mike at ATLP...he will better explain mike@acuratlparts.com Tell him I sent you over & that you want some info on the Jpipe. He takes his time & explain all components that they make.

it seems to me like you make a new thread every time a thought pops into your head. Don't you think that someone may have asked this same question at one point in time and it could have saved you time by just searching. Try searching J-pipe and see what comes up.

and why would it corrode and you having to replace it? Did your stock j-pipe corrode or any piece of your exhaust? It's just a replacement piece of pipe with a little bigger diameter than stock.

Well is ur 4 year old stock j pipe still in good condition?? Look at it this way u will be replacing it with a brand new j pipe. Im pretty sure it will hold up through the winter pretty well i had my rv6 test pipe throghout the whole winter and did not have any corrision.

J pipe has nothing to with the emmisions of the vehicle. it passed my emmisions test as well as visual and the gains are def. noticable through my butt dyno . no question about it!! i can only speak for my XLR8 j pipe though cause its the only one i ever had, but with any other upgraded j pipe you will feel a noticable increase in power. Trust me u wont regret it. My

haha. it won't break the bank, just take a chunk of it.

Richie V3 Jpipe

davewhodavedunn

I created this thread as I am overwhelmed with this info I have received on the J pipe for my 06 TL. I have read tons of pages and info, but I am wondering this CONS of doing this mod, as all mods have pros and cons.

I am still having trouble understanding how a pipe can create 10-15 hp and tourqe and also pass a canadian emission test.

Those are my biggest worries, that and which one is the best for easiest install, no corroding and rusting , and most HP.

Someone help please

If you look under the car and see the stock j-pipe, it's pretty obvious how one piece could potentially release some horses.

RV6 V3 FTW! Be the Guinea pig in the Canadian emissions test! if you fail, put on your stocker! Put your car on a lift or ramp and install. it seems easy, just bolt on. it can create those HP numbers because stock J-pipe is restrictive. RichieRich spent 4 hours on dyno and months R&Ding this MONSTEROUS BEAST!

davewhodavedunn

I haven't really heard from anyone who has done this to there car in the usa or canada just ppl who tell me how good it is, but don't have it done, that is why I created this thread.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

In your other thread, there was a lot of people that said that they have a J-pipe from one of the three sellers. in that same thread, people told you that it would pass emissions. Buy the newest one and be a Guinea Pig. If it doesn't pass Canadian test, put your stock J-pipe back on and sell the RV6 V3.

I am so tempted to buy this damn j pipe. I might just do it.

How long do you figure for my mechanic to take off the oem unit and put the new one on? 1hr labour?

Souljah

Yes, no more than an hour with lift and airtools.
Unless your mechanic charges you a substantial "buddy" price, I would just do it yourself.
I did my ATLP V2 J-Pipe in the garage on jackstands.

No greater feeling than doing the mod yourself and especially when it's done.

davewhodavedunn

and you actually notice a difference in power and torque?
