Hey guys,

Yes, lots of information regarding J-Pipes on our 3G TLs. However, I am trying to find a comparison between XLR8 and EndlessRPM J-Pipe. Maybe I haven't looked too far enough, but I only see comparisons between RV6, ATLP and XLR8; I just wanna know which one will be the best. I heard how XLR8 provides good all-round gains and I heard how the EndlessRPM J-Pipe provides good clearance especially for slammed cars (I am not slammed).

Sorry if this topic has been beat to death numerous times already.

 

really doesnt matter. at all.

get one that you can afford; and one that covers what you need...ie; do you need the third cat?

in the end; all it comes down to is price and a third cat or not....

ALL this splitting hairs of which one gains more is just that SPLITTING hairs.

 

The XLR8 Jpipe is all 304 stainless, mandrel bent, and made here inside the US to offer the best fit, finish, and performance possible!

When you put all this together you end up with a great looking Jpipe like this...



We do also offer an option which allows you to retain the third cat. I will provide links below for both:

We will be offering 10% off and free shipping (to the continental US) for Black Friday starting on 11/20/18 and running until 11/26/18 so don't forget to keep your eyes on the site!

Happy modding!

 

I had an RV6 for my 3G and the XLR8 for my 4G. Very happy with both. The only difference I was able to observe is that the sound on the XLR8 was a bit of a lower tone with a growl at high RPM's that I liked a bit more than the RV6. However, it's hard to compare apples to apples there because the 4G has a different engine and exhaust. Very good fitment and build quality on both.

Although it's difficult to squeeze a lot more power out of these J-series V6's, the j-pipe is usually the first performance mod that's recommended since it's a pretty good bang for the buck. It's modest on the 4G since Acura improved the flow of the stock J-pipe. But it's significant on the 3G since the J-pipe that Acura used on the 3G was pretty restrictive. I remember taking off the stock j-pipe on my 3G and seeing all the sharp bends and restrictive joints. I have no idea why they didn't design it better. The j-pipes by the aftermarket vendors are consistent in their diameters regardless of the angle the pipe has to follow, as you can see from the pic above. It's a pretty good looking unit as well. Not that you'll be looking at it on any regular basis but it turns a light bronze as it heat cycles. No rust since it's stainless steel. I've had the XLR8 on for two years and it still looks great.
