i dont follow. I'm sorry...lol. Why is the vendors answering questions about their product and the customers sharinging their set-ups with oth members in one thread a bad thing? I think that where im lost.

 

I think creating a thread under the guise that you're trying to get all the info in one thread (because of all the clutter throughout other threads) when it's clear you want vendors to answer your specific questions about the products to help you make a decision and then trying to corral people back into that thread as if it's the end all/be all jpipe thread is where the problem lies.

Me, personally, I went with the V3 RV6 one...cost a little more but yields the most gains, is drop friendly, and is very pretty

Plus, his "quantity left" on the website (down to 2 and now 1) and the fact that I just did my taxes was all the push I finally needed. I'm hoping I'm as happy as everyone else seems to be with it.

fixed.

 

I made a jpipe vid last night...with commentary.
NOT uploading it

 

Since some people get their exhaust custom made and it comes a fair bit cheaper than purchasing from vendors, why don't people get J-pipes custom made too? I don't know much about this but isn't it just piping. By the looks of it from V3 pictures it seems pretty easy for a reputable exhaust shop to make it. 3 flanges, 2 flex pipes and some piping. Or an I missing something entirely and this is just crazy talk.

I am asking because I got quoted 650$-750$ for a full custom cat back exhaust depending on mufflers and tips I choose. It may be 80$ cheaper if going without a resonator (depending how loud it may be) and 2.5" piping splitting into 2.25" before the mufflers (just like some aftermarket exhaust). So for a j-pipe to be made I can't see it being more than 300$.

 

I tend to agree with that...I actually thought of that too initially.
BUT...seeing as how there are 3 version now, one producing more hp than the next and the complex welds and research on smoothest airflow etc...I think for the extra hundred bucks you're almost better off paying for the premade one. Then, you can go custom exhaust from that point back.

Just an idea...

I actually used 2 reducer collars to put in my dynomax...had a friend tell me that causes turbulence and backpressure. I'll be fixing that probably at the same time as my exhause. We have 2 1/2" piping at the resonator, right?!?


and thanks for fixing shark...I'm looking forward to being that happy about it!

 

Well the 3rd version obviously make the more sense to make. And seems a little easier to make too since you don't have so many bends and such as the first 2 versions.

I am not sure what our stock exhaust diameter is. I thought it was 2.25" all through out?

 

I can't remember either, I think I had gotten the one I THOUGHT it was and it ended up sliding INTO the resonator. I guess the smaller diameter in 2 locations WOULD create some turbulence/backpressure.
