Thanks Inaccurate, good looking out!!

 

do I need to have an aftermarket jpipe for these to work?

 

^No Sir

 

Yes, it will be loud.

 

Okay I'm in make it 5 got a reply back from RV6 and like the combo deal...I'm in for all three PreCats, J-Pipe and Test Pipe.....So monday will be official but yeah 5 now for Deposit....I can hear now...Niceee!!!

 

Just in case anyone else is interested, you can add a jpipe and test for an additional $320 shipped.

 

We are up to 6 deposits only 4 more!

 

just out of curiousity, does anyone know what type of horsepower gains is there from this modification alone....any official dyno numbers or tests...I'm sure its been posted somewhere, but im at work and don't want to go searching? Im assuming its gotta be some good numbers as the TL-S exhaust systems are heavily restricted to meet ULEV laws....

 

According to https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...s#post10065105:

08 TL Type - S

Power Gains from RV6 Pre-Cat Deletes
20.70 whp / 14.17 wtq

 

Thankx Weas....If thats true than thats pretty good numbers for the price...Nice

 

man if i was getting my tl now id be in. buh with the problems going on with my family i probaly wont till summer

 

Has anyone installed these with ALTP test pipe, j pipe & exhaust? Would that make a good combo? What kind of resonators are you people planning on getting?

 

<--- Evan, Richie deposit SENT!!!

so its 7 Now... 3 more to go!!

 

I'm willing to send a full payment after I get a few questions answered.

Can I get a package deal with the precat deletes and j-pipe?

How loud will it be with the deletes, j-pipe, and gutted 3rd cat with stock exhaust? I really want to keep it quiet.

I'm eventually going with the turbo kit so I know I'm going to eventually sell this stuff and lose some money on it.

 

My setup is =
Precat Deletes --> XLR8 Jpipe --> RV6 Race pipe --> oem resonator --> OEM catback (but with midmuffler deleted)


Loud/quiet is a bit subjective. With that said, I will take a stab at an answer based on my concept of loud/quiet.

PCD will totally change the car, sound wise. There will be little increase in sound IF you accelerate gently. Get into the throttle moderately, and there WILL be some beastly sounds and light rasp. If you get into the throttle a lot, then "Houston, we have lift-off"


Here are two links

Precat Deletes + Upgraded Jpipe + No 3rd Cat + Stock Exhaust = very sexy exhaust note (click here)
XLR8 J-pipe install.......Not liking the sound! (click here)

If you are short on time, here is an out-take from one of my post -

I installed the XLR8 Jpipe a few weeks before installing the PCD (precat deletes). The XLR8 Jpipe changed the sound of the car very little. No ting or raspiness at all.

The PCD did change the sound of the car a lot. But, I love the new sound. The PCD did cause a ting sound at idle (which I was expecting), and light rasp when getting into the throttle. But, I like both the ting sound and light rasp. The light rasp lets folks around me that something is afoot. But, I still have the sleeper aspect as long as I don’t get into the throttle.

BTW, the ting is the sound of the exhaust pulse wave hitting the walls of the PCD as the exhaust rushes out of the exhaust port. Real race headers and the PCD have thin-wall pipes. When I say thin walls, I mean in comparison to oem exhaust manifolds, which are extremely thick cast iron that greatly dampens the sound.

 

I love the sound of thin wall headers. My GN had this sound when stock and I miss it. That's really good to know, I consider this a plus. As for the rasp, I think it will be ok with the entire stock exhaust in place after the 3rd cat.

Thanks for taking the time to write it up. I guess it's like most exhausts when you remove the cats and really free things up. Fairly quiet when you're not on it but loud when you are on it.

 

Sure I can do $280 for just the jpipe if you buy the precat deletes as well.

Your car will get louder for sure, but not by much. The stock exhaust does a pretty good job at keeping the noise level down. I found a youtube videos for you. I don't think it is very loud at all.

Richie Im really debating on these. I'd love to get em but Im really nervous about the whole emissions deal. I don't want to have to swap em out whenever I have to do a test.

 

What type of testing do they have in your area? Is there a visual inspection or just a OBDII plug in.

 

might have to do this.......hmmmmmmm?

 

I made a link for those that want to preorder. We are up to 8 deposits.

"""Richie Im really debating on these. I'd love to get em but Im really nervous about the whole emissions deal. I don't want to have to swap em out whenever I have to do a test."""

If they do the sniffer on your exhaust then your a no go but if its just a visual and hook up to your OBDII then you should be good from whats been told to me, I was worried about failing as well but since I was given the green light for no CEL, cuz of 02 simulators taking care of that issue...

And Richie finally made that big deposit for the combo deal, and now it's officially 8!!! C'mon 2 more and we on our way lets get it done!!!

 

morning BUMP....we at 10 yet?

 

you can add me to that list...just ordered it

 

That should make 9

 

would this be a great add for the turbo? also does i still smell bad?

 

The turbo eliminates the precats and j-pipe since it's powered by exhaust. Buying these and then going with a turbo would be a serious waste of money.

The bad smell is relative. I was around before many cars had convertors and y ou didn't notice it.

 

Both. They do a quick visual where they slide the mirror under the car and look and then the OBDII. I would think that they would miss the precats and I'd be good as long as I have the third cat in place... Whats your thoughts Richie

 

we r up to 9... 1 more!!! any1 out there lets make this happen!

 

Im gonna but payday isn't until next thursday

 

does anyone one know how is the sound like if i had just the rv6 PCD with stock exhaust on a type S any rasp at all?

 

aaaaaaand, then there were 10!

 

No worries I should have extra.

You shouldn't have rasp from any stock unmodified exhaust.

 

 

Woooo hoooo.... We have 10 so Richie wats the word bro

 

Richie, just to be sure, if I don't get in on this groupbuy, when will you have more pre-cats in stock?

I want them but I haven't even received my exhaust yet, I want to see how that sounds by itself before I move on to pre-cats and a high flow cat.

 

They are all coming at the same time I just wanted to make sure I had enough sales before spending that much on shipping. Anyways I will pay for them today and should have them early next week.

 

^ Cool, that works for me

 

must have 1 of 40

 

You mean 1 of the 35 we hit 15 sets today.
