Changing just the jpipe does very little to nothing to the volume of your exhaust. When I had one on my 6mt Type S there were a couple rpm ranges where you can notice a slight tone change, but besides that, to the average person they would have no clue anything changed.

I have had the RV6 V3 pipe and quality and fitment were top notch.

all three are the best


take a pick and research the product via their website


exhaust wont change and if it does it will be in the high rpms but I don't think its much to even notice

I got the atlp v2 and love it. The rv6 one does look good though. But I also started a thread and got lots of people's input. They are all around the same I heard, but I went its atlp and test pipe combo.

Really happy with my XLR8 v2. Quality of the pipe is amazing. Noticeable improvement in power, especially in the midrange.

Personally and professionally I think the XLR8 V2 J-pipe is the best j-pipe, but I may be biased.

Has anyone seen a comparison of the advantages/disadvantages of the latest J-Pipe versions vs the previous generation J-Pipes? Of course the new generation may have a little more increase because it replaces the cat as well as the J-Pipe in one piece.

For example, the previous generation gave the owner the option to go with a test pipe or high flow cat, whereas the new generation does not.

Has anyone experienced raspy exhaust issues with the latest generation J-Pipes? I ask because their were some posts indicating replacing the cat with a straight pipe resulted in unwanted raspiness sounds that I personally would not be interested in. Also, I noticed a few complaints about the loss of low end torque when the cat was replaced with a straight pipe. I actually experienced that first hand with my 4 cylinder Honda and had to put the OEM cat back on.

Thank you.

You get rasp when running fully catless, as in removing all three cats. Just deleting the third cat will not cause it. And you'll not lose any measurable torque by deleting the third cat either.

Does 3rd cat delete result in rasp or low end torque change?

Did you notice a shift in the torque range? For example, I do not want to sacrifice any low end torque for high end gains.

What would be the purpose of going with a high flow cat over a test pipe if your state has never done emission testing. Some talk about smell and rasp. Thank you
