How can we say that we are SURE if there's no price?
Someone in the know please PM me the price for the TL version and I'll let you know if I would be one of the FOR SURE ones...

I was thinking about this mod and I started to wonder. When I did the "stage 3" mod, my car developed a slight drone in 5th gear at 40-60 mph. If the J pipe also alleviates circulation for a free-er flowing exhaust.. wouldn't this make the 5th gear drone more prevalent? I'm really curious what kind of drone the exhaust will make with the J pipe.

not sure the only way to really know is the install one and test. since you are local i might have one you can try.

the j-pipe is to the left of the 3rd cat. you can replace the 3rd cat with a resonator test pipe as a option.

it would try without the test pipe first, to see how it feels, you can always get it later.

Stop spreading incorrect info! This is just nut's! You guys are supposed to be using the right terms. Right? Cant call a screw a nut. Right? Well then. Stop with the "J" pipe stuff. There is no such thing on our cars. It's called the "A" pipe. Don't believe me, don't care? Thats you issue. But don't go to a parts guy and ask him about the "J" pipes. Take a look........

Yeah, I remember I sent you a PM a while back in regards to if you wanted to provide a J-pipe for a dyno run as well (dyno costs will be paid for), BUT I never received a reply, although I see your quiet active. I'm still curious.

I remember getting that message, I was deciding if I wanted to go through with it or not and I guess I just forgot. Maybe when my J-Pipes are here we can trade and do some testing.

Ritchie... great looking product there.

You guys are awfully civil to each other considering you're selling a competing product.

I'm pretty sure Greddy would not send Comptech an exhaust system for a dyno shootout. it's cool if you guys are on that level.
