^ I think the race pipe is a little more prone to rasp but not by much. Both products are great so you'll be happy either way.
I started with the test pipe but with my CT exhaust, it was a little too quiet. I thought that replacing it with the race pipe would louden my exhaust up. However I installed the race pipe and the deletes at the same time so everything got loud real quick.
Check out here for some vids of my exhaust... it'll make you wanna buy the deletes NOW!

I wouldn't have any problems with the j-pipe and race pipe tho right? Cuz they're just replacing existing parts?

Oh the deletes would have already been bought and installed but im kinda shying away from them cuz of the "passing emissions" thing. RI checks frigin everything for inspections so I doubt I would be able to get by with those deletes.

The race pipe is just a straight pipe that replaces the 3rd cat, so you're not going to pass emissions with it if the inspection is visual....but swapping it takes all of 10 minutes anyways.

I just went to the website to look at the offer and the title says "J-Pipe replacement and 3rd cat delete." How do we specify when we order if we want the race pipe (non-resonated 3rd cat replacement) or the test pipe (resonated 3rd cat replacement)?

Two questions.
Is it CARB approved?
What will it do to my MPG if I drive normally? It would be fun to have some extra power but mostly I want to do this to extend my range between fillups.

It's completely silly, having a J-pipe isn't going to do anything to emissions, but they are strict here...

I've done smog a couple of times for a few different cars that my family have and I haven't seen a tech check under the car. I do see them pop the hood and check for CARB stickers for an aftermarket intake and if all the tubes to your intake are tight and are intact. But this is in CA so I dunno if they are more strict in your area.

i have all RV6 minus the precat deletes
and the few other TL members whom have driven the car have had nothing but good things to say about response and sound.
a few months ago i pulled up to an old guy getting out of his continental GT and he gave so many compliments about the sound of the TL
