Richie v6

If you send back your merge and jpipe in it would be around $250 to get it done with no polishing. Same if you buy a new exhaust and jpipe and want the x-pipe made.

If you want just the jpipe with x-pipe alone you are looking at $375 + jpipe.

A proper merge takes lots of labor to make right.

I couldn't tell however one of the guys in the shop swears its smoother and more throaty. Vlad should have some videos up soon.


Let me know when you plan on coming. I have to make room the RV6 R&D lab is packed.

Effin SICK Rich....

am excited

you mentioned you have 8 exhausts in stock, is that the newer version? also how much coin is the new one gonna be?

Throttle037

If you need a stock 08 type s 6mt to dyno/test i'll let you beat up my baby since i'm also in Chicago.

Richie v6

They are all V2 and made with the same batch of parts as last year. We finally had some time this winter to make another 12 systems which 4 were sold. There is something like 26 hours of labor in each system.

When we set up the dyno you can get free runs if you buy an exhaust.

Rich Rv6 is simply an awesome dude with an awesome company. We all know there are ONLY a few companies out there that provide us 3G TL owners with aftermarket support.

But.... RV6 in my opinion is THE ONLY COMPANY THAT KEEPS GOING & GOING. v1 pcds , v2 pcds , v3 pcds ... v1,v2,v3 j-pipe , true dual catback & now true dual v2.....

keep it up !!!!

Quick update on the X-Merge J-pipe. It sounds great with the true duals!! Although I can't really compare it to anything else. I'll have some pics and vids up in a couple of weeks as I'm heading out of town for a little bit.

Also, hypnoVlad failed. The dyno is booked until I leave, so the "after" part of the dyno will have to wait another 11 days. For those curious, a stock 6MT TL Type S makes ~263whp peak and VTEC kicks in at 4800 RPM yo. I'm guessing a 20whp gain. Place your bets folks.

SAE corrected with smoothing factor of 4.

No Sir...VTEC kicks in at 4950 (closer to 5000 rpm)...in earlier models it was around 4700 rpm...the dip you see is before the VTEC kicks in...


now with that said, 263 is effin awesome...and the torque curve is almost flat also am guessing you made 263 AFTER the HFC's...I know the Type S 6mt dyno close to 250ish...263 is insane....


i am eager to see the after dyno's...am guessing a round figure of 280whp after the exhaust/jpipe....also I am thinking once you get some intake work done, you will be very close to 300whp

I know Andy made 298 when he was fully bolted on

Thanks for the info on VTEC. I just assumed the dip was when it kicked in, yo.

263 is bone stock, without HFCs. No performance mods at all. I'm hoping to break 283 with HFCs, the jex pipe (J&X?), and TDs.

I'm taking the absolute accuracy with a grain of salt. The real value in these tests is finding the difference before and after. If the dyno is off, it's consistently off meaning that measuring a difference is possible, but absolute accuracy is always questionable.

Edit: When Rich's dyno is setup, I'll do a pull on his too. We'll see how different the results are.

Sounds fantastic, Richie Rich.

We have a custom radiator in the works to make more room. Its definitely on our list of things to do this year.

Is there a much more clean and beefy sound in the rv6 then the ATLP system?

I finally completed my exhaust system with RV6 performance parts. The V2 True Duals are honestly the best sounding exhausts I have heard for the 3G. I highly recommend the V3 J-PIPE + HFPC as well, the who system together really makes a difference in performance. Good quality products, and Richie is very easy to get a hold of. Feel free to call him with any questions, very helpful guy!

^^^Totally agree. I know anyone that spends some coin to have a system will think theirs is the best...but I did my research and confirmed for myself when I got the RV6 system. The thing sounds intoxicating.

Richie....i really want to congratulate you on this exhaust dude....you have done great....


the sound is simply AWESOME !!!

Phinney

I'm looking at getting this exhaust setup for my 3G, Is the j-pipe a must to get that sound in the video? Also, what is HFPC..

6spd-GERCO

YouTube is your friend for this, check out the videos of all the different variations!

HFPC- High Flow Pre Cat - the catalytic converters mounted right off of each cylinder bank on your J35.

Stock J pipe will likely be a lot quieter.

FamilyGuy

Not to burst your bubble, but you would need ~302-309 crank hp to hit 263 at the wheels, way outside normal tolerance levels. It's most likely because you used a dynojet.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Totally agree!

FamilyGuy

Sounds great Richie well done

farshad.z

Yes friend, get the J-PIPE! its well worth it. That with the duals sounds fantastic! HPFC's are a bitch to install and will cost more than the actual parts... I guess it depends on where you go.

echike

Hey can somebody explain to me what this x-jpipe does differently compared to the previous iteration. Like are there performance improvements?

Thanks in advance

I believe it doesn't ever separate the pulses entirely, probably some gains, and the bragging rights to be able to claim that it is ACTUALLY a true dual from primaries back.

Also, forgot to post this...RV6 with custom tips on POS car on right...hear that growl!

Why you got to slam the door on the POS on the right? Our doors are like delicate flowers. No matter how many times I told my wife, hunny, these doors close themselves. Just barely pull in and let go... No matter HOW HOW MANY times she closed the door like she was Ronnie Coleman.
