it may sound slightly louder when you step on it...but no, no real sound change if you upgrade to an aftermarket jpipe.
you are on a site that sells used tl parts. check out the black market section of the forum.

^^^ just what he said. I installed a RV6 V3 jpipe a couple weeks ago on my stock 07 Type S 6mt. Keep in mind the new V3 also eliminates the 3rd cat as well. For the most part exhaust sound is unchanged. I did notice a little more growl in the mid RPM ranges like 2500rpm and up during acceleration but thats about it. During normal driving and cruise you will not notice a difference.

I just took my first test drive with the new j pipe.
Its a little bit deeper, but no louder. I was scared that I would hate the extra noise, but it is in no way baf

I think he said he did it for noise reduction. I can't think of a performance benefit on the exhaust.
My and not even worth that much.

^^^ I dont think it will damage the pipe....couple pros:
1> keeps the jpipe hotter and hence makes the exhaust pulses move quicker
2> protects the jpipe from stratches
3> reduces drone and quite"s" down the exhaust....i see that as a pro....
cons:
if you scrape...you gotta redo the full thing as light scraping may mess the wrapping and tear it open....

I think it might help the u derhood temps a little bit. Not sure though. I still have a lot if wrap left, and I think i might do the rest of the exhaust.

That would have been the better way to go. I wrapped it, then hosed it down, then put it on the car wet and started it. Seems to be fine. I don't hear it flapping around yet, ha

I know it's stainless steel but I worry that over time moisture will gather in there and somehow rust lol. Now did you have that j-pipe on originally, then take it off and put the wrap on to measure the difference in sound? Also how does the butt dyno feel gain wise? Thanks.
