onto your stock exhaust......

there will be a stretch of straight pipe.
ask an exhaust shop to cut out a piece of the straight pipe and to weld in the resonator in its place.

I have the rv-6 v3 jpipe and it is my only performance mod. I thought my car felt faster but it must have all been in my head. My 1/8 mile times were identical under the same conditions after this mod. Maybe I just need an exhaust.

Mixed reviews as in performance and sound. Some say they had rasp while others didn't, very few said that they had no noticeable gains while more did. It don't matter, I'll find out for myself soon!

That won't change either. Opinions vary. What is rasp and/drone varies. How much is acceptable varies. 95% of what you read is just someones opinion and opinions vary.

Glad to see you bit the bullet and placed an order.

^^^ thanks....241...but dude that pic proves a point....

Justn has PCD's and Jpipe and has a gain of 13hp and 18tq (for ~$1000)...I bet intake side mods will give him a serious boost in hp/tq...since his exhaust is open and more air will yield in more power

he (richie) took like 50 bucks off the PCD's and Jpipe (you save $100) and threw in the resonator for free....I dont think the special is still going on....however, doesnt hurt talking to Richie
