Which J Pipe to get

So I see at least half a dozen different kind of J pipes models out there but wanting to get the RV6 Performance V3 just because it looks like it would have higher flow compared to ATLP's. I looked at the dyno graphs posted from 2014 on a thread here pointing to ATLP but I'm guessing it was before the Performance V3 was out.
Which specific J pipe do you guys recommend for best flow improvement?

Whichever you want. But, don't expect much from just a j-pipe. have the v3 on my tls and it did nothing power, sound or mileage wise. Rest of the exh is stock, so I guess that explains it.

ATLP V3R. The RV6 one hangs too low, even lower than the stock one. And actually the shorter pipe design is better than the long tube design. Expect gains all throughout the power band especially from mid to top end. RV6 shines mostly low end.

Have you run both kinds? And if you had to say how much lower than the stock one?
Thanks

Unless you plan on getting a full dual pipe, then you get power from it... there's a lot of better mods you can get for your TL than a Jpipe trust me.

From what i’ve researched and videos i’ve seen, the rv6 v3 set ups always have more rasp. Apparently it’s dyno proven that shorty j pipes make the most hp. SMP performance on youtube has one of the highest horsepower n/a tl type s 6mt’s i’ve seen on the internet and he has endless rpm v2.
Also, i’m not 100% where i read that somebody changed their collector from 2.5” to 3” (all aftermarket j pipes have 2.5” collectors except atlp v3r which has 3”) and lost power

I had ATLP V2 J pipe on my 6MT '06 TL, with RV6 V3 PCD'S and ATLP race pipe third cat delete of course and I have to say I stand by ATLP as far as j pipe... RV6 is great all around though totally have nothing bad to say about them at all they make the BEST PCDs imo and idc what anyone says either my minds made up... I definitely noticed a huge difference as I did all these mods at the same time... So if you haven't got one already go with ATLP
