Alright guys! I had my RV6 V3 Jpipe installed and all I can say is wow!
I had my friend Abel who used to work at dobbs honda as a tech install it. He charged me only 60 bucks. The sound is amazing. No rasp whatsoever. My setup was Injen CAI, Magnaflow Cat back and UR pulley and it sounded great. The injen overpowered the exhaust sound after about 4000rpm but now the J-pipe has added a little extra growl through the whole RPM band especially in the mid-range. Its a much higher pitch than it used to be in a very good way! Hard to describe though. Even though the ECU has not had time to adjust yet I can feel the difference in accleration. The low and mid range is where I really feel the difference. The high end has always pulled hard so its not as easy to distinguish the difference. Thanks to Richie! Im very happy with the purchase. I would recommend this mod to anyone who has a TL or Accord V6!

Ive read through most of this thread and learned alot, seems most are worried about emissions, i say pay the inspector extra $20 and call it a day.
My question now is, ive heard about other jpipes hanging low therefore ive been real skeptical about purchasing this because i am droppped so low. From the pics ive seen of this new version it doesnt look to hang low. So for those of you that are slammed hows this working out for you? And is there some kind of mod or fabrication that can be done to keep this thing shiny besides that ceramic thing someone did on a previous version. If not shiny atleast keep it protected against bruising/bent/dings. thanks

Does anyone have stage 3 and rv6 v3 jpipe? How is the exhaust note? And I'm confused as to which part the 3rd cat is that the v3 deletes, does anyone have pics of it?

Update: So as the ECU is learning my new Jpipe mod I am even more impressed. This is by far the best mod for the money. I am so impressed with the acceleration improvement. Just regular driving and light throttle application I can feel the difference. The car just wants to go! Throttle response has improved a great deal. half throttle, full throttle applications are so impressive I just can't believe how much of an improvement I am feeling! This is a must have mod guys!

They are open many friday nights and saturday mornings for the 1/4 mile track. haha funny that you say that because I live at Ina and I-10 basically and I use I-10 from Cortaro to ruthroff as my track. Im open for a friendly run anytime. Do you have any mods? are you auto or 6MT?

^ i installed myself. only hard thing was taking off the stock j-pipe, as the bolts are rusted. PB blaster and wait. then try again. I had a breaker bar.
but i didnt have a lift, and did it with jack stands. took me about 4 hours.
initially i was changing my oil, then the fedex guy came.
again, i had a hard time taking off the stock j-pipe.
