^gloves!?

no need for gloves....

brianch

no rear bumper? No problem

Looking sexy.

So all the pipes just slip ontop of each other right? No spot welding needed?

Can't wait to receive mine. Going to ceramic coat (opti-coat) it to start. I really hope none of my JPipe or converter bolts are seized..

as you can see in this picture; there are "male and female" ends. you slip the male into the female and then clamp. (clamps are not pictured)

nothing like spot welding a $1700 exhaust...

looks great, justin!

brianch

ahh awesome.

WHERE ARE THOSE VIDEOS?!

I just figured I'd ask since the header in my rsx was spot welded to give it some strength. It's also similar to the exhaust where it just slips on with clamps - but some have reported tubes coming loose. I'm a pretty good welder so it's not a huge deal. I could always grind it off and clean it up and polish it if I ever needed to take it apart and sell it.

go pro footage being edited. will be available in the next few days


Edit*
Brianch, not sure how the Rsx pipes were constructed but Richie Spent a lot of time labeling the pipes(etched) and making sure that proper fitment and tolerance is spot on.

the pipes slide into each other with ease and you will know that they wont come apart when you clamp them down.

brianch

I know I trust Richie. I was just asking because I don't know what the install instructions are yet. Not doubting anyone.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Honestly; there were no instructions.
He includes a packet; but its not really instructions.

it just says to match up A to A, B to B, etc.
following the picture was harder than actually just figuring it out on your own.

and again they are labeled. A comes first in the alphabet so; thats the first piece you put on.

This was my first time putting on a bolt on catback.
Richie really made it easy.
if you can recite the alphabet; you can put these on.

brianch

sounds good to me. good thing I passed kindergarten. PHEW

So, what was the install time? And don't lie.

PS...seeing your pictures makes me wonder why you don't come out to play more often, Justin. You're really talented.

I can imagine

Anyway, gratz on getting all RV6 up. I guess I will hear it on Friday. Did that "exhaust leak" go away?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I think its still there??? im not sure
listen to it on friday and see.

JJH

iTrader: (1)

Justin, do you like the new sound?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

to me; inside the car; it sounds the SAME. LOLOLOL!!!!
it still has the distinct characteristic raspyness that Ive come to love.

However; it sounds completely different outside the vehicle.
my mom noticed it right away. "eww, last time, it sounded ugly. now it sounds better. more classier, like it's supposed to sound"

the sound is deep. how do i know this? i set off a car alarm passing by
I will need more seat time to fully appreciate the exhaust. I am taking a road trip on friday to meet with other acurazine texas members. There will be a bumper waiting for me

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

love doing that....half my gas tank goes revving in the parking garage (where I used to work) and setting car alarm(s) off....

JJH

iTrader: (1)

I like it deep. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being stock base TL with PCDs & Jpipe 10 being a V8 Mustang with Magnaflow, where does your car fall now?

TBH, I've never been impressed with any of the aftermarket exhaust options for the TL.

You were stock + Jpipe + PCDs before, right?

zachlone

I miss being able to do that I had a HF Cats and a Flowmaster 10 series muffler on my Dodge Ram hemi dumped after axle. It was a monster! sounded like a boat how it gargled.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Sounds the same in the cabin? You crazy space cake...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

i was jpipe+pcd+stock, yes.

I cant place the scale yet.
lets change the v8 example, because our cars will never be rumble like that.
like mentioned; to me, inside the car it sounds the same.
its not loud, but once I pass 4k RPM it rings out.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

its odd; I dont hear the low deep bass inside cabin. I know its there, because I set off an alarm.
I'll need more seat time.

dontTL'em'nothing

iTrader: (3)

man cant wait for videos. i need to pay mine off soon. They need to make a new icon that says " this thread is worthless with out videos"

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

JJH....all your questions are pretty subjective....

I like my exhaust to be loud (because racecar)....a lot of other folks dont like it that loud...some like an aggressive tone at higher rpms and super quite in the lower....some like the rumble...

So I would suggest look at the clips from members...check out the clips which folks have from PCD's and PCD's + Jpipe and Full exhaust...listen to them, compare them, listen to the stages and see what you really like

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

i totally wish i had a v8 but alas, its just a small v6.
it sounds more exotic like, instead of a muscle car.

JJH

iTrader: (1)

I'm an objective person that asks a lot of subjective questions expecting objective answers....uhmmmm

Me too! If only our cars sounded like Maseratis..

zachlone

exotic like sound

bmore07tls

Lucky you! I'm still waiting for it to ship!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

but when will you get it?

Justin, I want seat time with you...
Actually, I'd love to be side by side so you would hear mine too. What intake are you running? I can't recall.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

stock intake resonator delete.

zachlone

^gotta love that free mod!

TheLowLife

bmore07tls

Prob after I trade my car in

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

the DAY after...
Jus, why not cut the down tube and throw a conical filter on the end?

Doubt it would make mine sound different in the cabin vs you not hearing a difference though.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

egggzacherrry !!!

I love that rumble I get <3K rpm...then the car realizes its not a big 5.0 V8 but a tiny 3.2 v6 aaaand fart mode activates until 3800-4000 rpm....

dammit I need videos already

well an objective person will never ask an subjective question so maybe you are an objective person masquerading a subjective person which is behind an objective face?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

why?
i have the stock filter in place.
i also have the velocity stack near the fog light opening.

your suggestion would impede flow? no?
two filters?

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

Justin, if I were you, I would definitely look into a CAI...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

but you're not me.

iTrader: (5)

^^^ and thank God for that

JJH

iTrader: (1)

I actually think that my car lost a little bit of low end torque when I put on the AEM V2 vs when I had the intake resonator removed.
