Car sounds good.

That's only after 5 minutes. I'm sure it said about 28mpg after half an hour. Although it may have helped with gas mileage.

No f**kin way? i get 17 avg mpg bone stock. do u always drive below 2k rpms?

Well that was cruising at 65 with cruise control, It was only for like 5 miles but I would have got a consistent 33-34 if I would have kept going.. You just gotta keep it at the speed limit, thats the hard part..

I dont remember what RPM is was but precats def help with gas milage..

^ That's what it will read as soon as you reach your cruising speed, put the cruise control on, then reset your Mid. I get the same, until traffic builds up to slow down and go. Then it goes down to 30 mpg. With spirited driving, I usually average 25. Opening everything up from intake to exhaust is a great benefit.

^Adrian so your saying that you have greddy piping and stock mufflers right?? IF so what is the diameter of the piping?
Or anyone can chime in on that.

Damn, I'm only getting like 11 MPG. Granted, my normal driving each day is probably about a total of 12 miles at an average of 30 mph, and I do drive spiritedly. I also spend 60% of the time driving stopped at lights. I'm also hoping that this is a result of the fact that I have about 30% oil life left on my break-in oil, and that's reducing the engine efficiency.

I get 21 city n 27 highway n I'm always speeding LOL I don't think it's to bad!

The greddy piping is 60 mm (2.4 in). The piping forward of the greddy is 2.5 in., except for the procats (2.25 in). Unfortunately from the greddy piping to the stock mufflers is only 1.75.....anything to reduce the noise.

I installed my RV6 j-pipe and resonated test pipe yesterday while the car was on 6 inch ramps, what a MAJOR PAIN. If I didnt have my buddies air tools it would have been IMPOSSABLE.

The front OEM J-pipe had 2 of the 3 bolts/nuts in it. When I too those 2 out, one of the bolts came completly out. I CANT get the nut off, I tried EVERYTHING. I couldnt put the bolt with the frozen/rusted nut back in because it was 1/16 inch off. I guess I will have to go to Acura and buy 2 NEW bolts. It does leak a little.

So there's definitely a smell there... what does it smell like? Burning gas? I'm just curious. And is it noticeable from the outside... like as in if I get pulled over will a cop notice the smell? I already got the J-pipe and test pipe and really thinking about these precats.

The pigs only smell bacon and doenuts. Well they can smell weed real good because they want to smoke it themselves. BADBOYS.

JD TL-S, once you get everything installed could you post if there was any change in the sound of the exhaust and if you think the cost was worth it.

I hate cars

I've run catless with leaded race gas which has a very strong sweet smell for over 10 years and have never been pulled over. This is with my eyes watering from the exhaust while sitting at redlights. I would say nothing to worry about.

is there a way to get rid of the smell?

jweb12

It's definitely possible but, speaking from experience, it does in fact suck. I got impatient waiting for my buddy's garage to free up so I did it solo, on jack stands, with hand tools.

I ran into a similar problem except one of my front precat studs backed out about half way. Completely sheared off the stud threads trying to get it seated back into the precat flange so had to have a shop re-tap the flange and put a new stud in. You won't get that nut off. Like you said, just get a couple new studs and call it a day. Be glad they came all the way out, that's a much easier fix.

I did my jpipe/race pipe install yesterday and it took me no longer than 50 minutes. I have an 04 at 44k miles. There was no rust whatsoever.

I didnt even bother to take of the 3rd cat from the jpipe, just from the pipe since it was all coming out together.

JD TL-S how does the new J-Pipe sound? How much louder that the stock Type-S exhaust?

trojanman10984

iTrader: (1)

how much does the whole rv6 package run??? or just the jpipe and race pipe run?

Maddizm

iTrader: (5)

^ I think about 575?

JD TL-S

iTrader: (1)

I met with Rich and got the RV6 J-pipe and test pipe for $330 total.

I don't think it made much diff in sound. I have the AEM V2 intake, Dynomax resonator and mid muff delete, that made a BIG diff in sound. I need a good Catback now.
