RV6 J-pipe On Sale

Hey Everyone,

I just spoke to Richie and he's having a pre-order sale on the 3G TL j-pipes. Whoever participates in this will have their j-pipe shipped near the end of this month. So it looks like waiting paid off after all!

http://rv6-performance.com/index.php...d=12&Itemid=66

Cheers!

The base and type-s use the same jpipe.

The sale ends when we get them in stock. No code needed just order off the site. Order early, you dont want to miss this one.

From a Chicago Suburb. We are pretty centralized and get to most of the country and 2-4 days.

Is there any real performance gains below 2K RPM? I'd like some more torque at near idle speeds, as silly as that might sound, the car is rarely above 3K RPM.

How noticeable is this in terms of low end power, and sound levels, on an absolutely stock TL-S that will likely never receive any additional mods?

Newbie here. Does this eliminate any 02 sensors? Any effect on emissions testing?

This jpipe removes the 3rd Cat.

IIRC, the 3rd Cat does not have a sensor.

Also, IIRC again, the 3rd Cat was put on the TL to drop it to ULEV (ultra low emission vehicle) rating. Removing the 3rd Cat moves it to a LEV (low emission vehicle) rating and I think is OK in most states.

contrary on what you have been reading, the jpipe increases torque throughout the entire powerband.

this "loss of torque" is bullshit. and based off of butt dynos and feelings.

Just because the gains are felt MORE at the top end, DOESNT mean you lost torque at 2k RPM.

I always hated driving around at 2K rpm!
because Honda's have no low end torque at all.
the motor is a high revving motor which produces PEAK TQ at 5200 RPM.

After I added the Jpipe, the car was easier and peppier to drive at 2K rpm

Lanyards and stickers. I think we are out of stickers for the time being.

Yes, our long runner design was designed to maximize low end torque.

Nope there are no sensors on the jpipe. The 3rd cat is eliminated. However many have passed the "sniffer" test without the 3rd cat.

We actually got them early. I checked them all tonight and will start packing them tomorrow all preorders should shipped this week. The sale still ends the 28th.

For what it's worth, in California I passed the emission part with no 3rd cat but failed the visual until I swapped j-pipes back. You'll pass if there isn't a rough visual inspection.

More on topic: I paid my invoice for Ceramic Coated PCD's+Resonator tonight!

I'm just hoping the resonator can tame the rasp I'll have with greddy exhaust and 0 cats haha

well any performance mod will not "lose" power....it will either move the powerband in the higher RPM or the lower RPM....

the longer primaries on the RV6 actually gain more in (common used for moving the power band to) the lower rpm....so you have more torque down low....dont get me wrong, it does gain power in the upper rpm range as well....

now if you would compare this to the shorter primaries on the ATLP jpipe, it move the power band to the higher rpms....so you will have less power increase in the lower rpm but more in the higher rpm.....

either way if i base my decision on the state....if the state you live in has strict emission laws, i would get ATLP so you can switch out the test pipe for the 3rd cat....but if you live in a state where emission laws are not that bad, then def Rv6 gets my vote

Hope that helps....

Actually the studs on the OE 3rd cat point outwards. You will have to remove either the jpipe or exhaust in order to replace the test pipe with 3rd cat. If you are going to go through all that trouble to pass emissions you might as well throw the stock pipe and 3rd cat back on for testing.
