Planning on getting myself a J-Pipe and was wondering if you guys could give me some input on whether I should go for an RV6 package or ATLP.

Side note:
ATLP just sounds so much cooler... name-wise. Lol. Another reason to have their decal on my car.

 

I have ATLP j-pipe and never got a sticker...
You will get ATLP guys saying ATLP and RV6 guys saying RV6. That being said.... ATLP ftw!!

 

ATLP

 

yea where is my ATLP sticker?

 

Maybe you'll get it with the quads.

 

you just can't beat richie's customer service man...rv6 w/o a doubt

 

Which version of the RV6 J-Pipe are we talking about? If it's the v1 then ATLP, if ver. 2 Then maybe RV6 J-Pipe. The test's aren't in yet on the v2. So it's hard to say. But stay tuned.......

 

lmaoo its funny you say that cause i was thinking about taking the sticker that says ATLP off the j-pipe and recepipe i got today for mike and putting it on my car

Now to the OP as TL advanced said people with RV-6 will say that and ATLP people will say ATLP me personally went with ATLP because i got the ATP exhaust so i gigured i would just stick with the ATLP j-pipe and racepipe also the Atlp J-pipe hangs a little lower then the Rv6 btu nothin crazy (u wont notice unless your car is real low) and the other thing to think about if i think the ATLP is higher flowing? dont take my word on it but i think it is... theres a long thread on it somewhere if you search but you will hear the same stuff i just said

 

The new ATLP J-Pipe clears very well, so the excuse for it hanging too low isn't really applicable anymore.

Perhaps in the Fall, I'll look more into them. But for now, my R-V6 parts are working flawlessly.

 

v2 ATLP looks promising.

 

ATLP and never looked back!

 

If price is a concern I think the RV6 j-pipe with test pipe is still 359 which compared to the others is a damn good deal.

 

RV6 all the WAY!!!!

 

+1

 

Thanks for the input guys. Lots of ATLP lovers out there...hrmmm.

 

I heard there's a RV6 V2 in development...

 

Can wait to get mine from RV6

 

+1...Richie makes quality stuff. Also you can't beat the customer service. I had no problems contacting him on the weekend for questions.

 

its really just preference. if you think about it, theres probably only around 1-2WHP difference. even if there was a 5WHP difference, you still wouldnt really notice it.

 

no doubt richie has some of the best customer support out there, BUT ATLP has just as great customer service too mikes a great guy.

now put that aside, ive had both jpipes and ATLP is clearly the better performer. you guys are only looking at peak hp and tq gains, but nobody talks about the low to mid end performance which for me was far more superior with the ATLP. now, im not speaking for everybody since im supercharged. NA gains is a whole different thing IMO


also, im getting extremely tired of all this "whos jpipe is better than whos" stuff. you dont have to be a rocket scientist to look at the 2 designs and agree that the ATLP has far less restriction with that nice 2 into 1 y pipe transition that right there is the difference maker.

 

ATLP for the win!!! That's settled.

 

eh, not really. I have RV6 pipe. Unfortunately it does have a leak from the neck. It was a manufacture defect. Rich did offer to replace it but it was such a PITA to install it in the first place and I already threw out the box so I learned to live with a little hiss. I would go with the ATLP.

 

Yes, but is the ALTP even available anymore? I thought he sold them all to make room for V2?

 

RV6 Here.

 

Kind of an unfair opinion given you had the opportunity to have it fixed don't you think? Also, I know of at least one defective ATLP.....but, like Richie was willing to do, it was replaced.

Somehow I knew a pic of JD TL-S's pipe would be in here......just bustin balls man.

 

+1000

 

any word on when the atlp v2 jpipe comes out? ill probably forget to check this thread again, so if someone could PM me id appreciate it

 

Seriously, why is it that he feels the need to post pics of his stuff in everyone else's threads. Atleast this one is somewhat relevant...

 

lmaoooo

 

I'd like to know as well

 

We will have a working prototype by the end of this coming week to mount and install so we can make sure everything clears on both the Base TL and the TL-S. If there are no problems, we shall start production and pre-orders will open up at that time.

 

i have had both. first the rv6, now i got the atlp

honestly, i felt a difference. the ATLP made my car sound better, and it got RID of the rasp i had between 2700-2900rpms

 

I've love to see some new vids!

Drive-by's, drive-off's, and most importantly, drive-alongs from another car pacing you.

 

i know i want to so bad. me and my friends took videos today when we were "driving spiritedly" but their cars are crazy fast and crazy loud so it pretty much gets canceled out LOL.

along with the videos, i will be re-dynoing my car but its kinda hard to plan, i wanna go with people cause they charge by the hour not by # of runs

 

Awesome, I cant wait to for them to be available! I missed the first batch and finally have the cash saved for the j-pipe

 

Rv6!

 

DITTO

i had RV6 first, then installed ATLP and never looked back. big difference for me in performance for sure.

better flowing and quality IMO. you get what you pay for

 

ive had the xlr8 jpipe for 2 days now and i love it; but unfortunately im going to have to go with rv6 cuz right now it is 1.5 inches from the ground and scrapes and there is no way im gonna raise my coils(i already did about .75 inches).
i love being slammed but im willing to sacrafice a few ponies for ground clearance.

anyone want to trade rv6 jpipe/test pipe for my xlr8 jpipe thats been on for 2 days?

 

x2 richie is a reallllllly good guy. but im biased because i have never done business with atlp.

 

Greco, 04accord and maybe stillhere (can't remember) are probably the only ones that can speak to this topic since they're the only ones that have actually had both. May be missing others. From what I've read here, if you're slammed, the RV6 pipe is probably a better fit (until Mike gets the ATLP V2 done) but the ATLP and XLR8 have better flow. How much better is still somewhat of an unknown, but could be partially answered by Greco soon.
