J-Shift pipe installed! pics/video
Got my J-pipe in today so I took the 45 mins to install...really easy and i was very impressed with the quality of the piping/bends/welds and it came with all gaskets..the etching in the pipe was very clean looking also..great product!
I have the test pipe option also..definatly reccomend!
Took a drive and noticed the exhaust change but really noticed the difference in power...it takes less throttle to accelerate and at WOT there is a definate power increase...i also noticed the car revs much faster almost like a flywheel or pulley result...very please thus far...i will dyno sometime this week
heres some pics
no mas! -stock cat
stock j-pipe
heres an interior WOT video..i will try to get one outside also..this is with greddy evo2/injen intake

most likely on a dynojet
I really like that test pipe looks sweeet. Mike from ATLP needs to make one asap.

the megan test pipe is just as good and the ebay non name brand one is similar... so you guys can run them with any jpipe...
I did try to see how much richie would let one go for (just the test pipe)... he said guys that ordered the jpipe have dibs
.... I will end up getting the megan one $82 shipped

I've tried a couple times with VSA off and it was pretty frustrating with all the spinning and wheel hop. Bridgestone Turanzas are not helping either, especially since they're around 70% worn.

And that 102 trap speed is damn impressive. That was with just intake and spacer? Your engine must've been built on a Wednesday afternoon!

i believe it was $349 for J-pipe
and $399 for j-pipe + test pipe
it makes about 5 whp and 7 lb-ft torque
the ATLP j-pipe is $399 (i think is the full price?)
and makes about 7 whp and 14 lb-ft torque

can't wait to see your dyno. after i see results, i'll decide which one to buy

by the time I get it installed it will be 135 degrees here and I will run 15.9 my first time at the track...
