The J-Pipe alone is so worth the investment. There is absolutely no trade offs in getting it. For example, with the PCD's you trade power for rasp/exhaust smell, bigger tires you trade looks for ride comfort and so forth. Richie's J-pipe... all you get is power, the car feels lighter, and it is plug and play (depending on the removal of rusted bolts from the old pipe).

This is a "no brainer" mod and with the type-s, you will love it. Just do it and you will not be disappointed, I promise...

I recently purchased a 2008 tl-s A/T. I love the car and I would love to add 20hp with these mods. My knowledge of car engine's is very minimal.
I apologize if these questions have already been answered.....

- What is a Jpipe and Precat delete?

- Will the RV6 V3 Jpipe and V2 Precat deletes mods void my existing warranty?

- I noticed in the earlier pages of the thread that a member had to cut the splash guard to avoid it being melted.... is this still necessary?

- How would I go about installing this in my car? Will I simply be able to take it to a muffler shop and they would know what to do with it?

- Will this mod make my check engine light appear?

Thanks in advance for your help.

They will be on my car as soon as Richie delivers.... I can't wait

Pictures will be posted the second the install is done. I am so excited to see the gains when paired with the j-pipe and in the summer I will install the PCD as well...

vtxcraziexboi

i dont get the numbers... im confused...why is the peak lower than the average? shouldnt the peak be higher than the average? idunno?

vtxcraziexboi

can someone explain to me... =/

Richie v6

There was more power gained in the mid ranges. The average numbers are pretty questionable. I would just ignore them and just look at the graph.

DonkeyKong

Richie will the Jpipe and PCD mods void my existing warranty?

Richie v6

They only void the warranty on the parts you are replacing. Now I would swap back to stock if I broke anything big. Dealers always try to pin the blame on aftermarket parts.

218TL

So what's the gains looking like with a long pipe and perhaps say my ATLP exhaust

Richie v6

I would estimate around the same peak numbers as stock with a much better mid range.

08TLEE

LOL I always wondered if it was possible to do something like that...looks like a cat, especially when you're 6 feet tall and looking at it in a tiny little mirror shoved under a dark car in a station full of exhaust fumes =)

218TL

So no HP gains

Richie v6

No there will be gains. The peaks gains will be around the same as the base dyno (13WHP and 7WTQ) but with the exhaust the mid range gains will be much better.

Does this actually give any improvement in MPG? I am sold already on it just want some info until I get the free cash to buy the J-pipe

Morrissey25

iTrader: (4)

I saw a slight increase in MPG while driving on the highway. The only thing is that you will love the new sound and chances are that you will hit the gas a little harder.... which will probably result in lower MPG.

Best I can say is that if your driving habits don't change then you will see an increase.

dawgsten

How much did the Customs charges end up being? I am planning on ordering one on friday, once my Visa allows me to charge more to it LOL

Finally other than my K&N Typhoon, I'm starting my mods!

fpgreenwrx

I want one..Please pm me payment info.

1islandparadise

I just installed mine last Friday. All I can say is WOW!!! There is no change in exhaust note, but the torque and power this bolt on mod makes is unreal! I wished I would have purchased Richie's Jpipe before my CAI. Well worth the $$$.

No-Idea

will there be an rasp with pcd and atlp exhaust ?

03TL_S

ordering now!!! and im supercharged. Richie look for my payment from jacksonville fl ! 06 TL 6mt

nutnut

you need to distinguish between:
peak of the power band - commonly refered to as the peak, the gain at this point can be whatever number
peak of the gain - yes has to be higher than the average gain

supra98

so how much is this shipped???

As much as I keep trying to convince myself to be satisfied without it, I can't help but continue to return to this thread. Only a matter of time.

dontTL'em'nothing

iTrader: (3)

^^^^ Agreed lol ive done the same thing ever since ive joined the forums

Derk's K24

It's like $20. If you look on his site the J pipe itself is $450 and $470 shipped.

wsrydah33

any issues in having both a cai and this j-pipe installed? i'm considering getting the j-pipe and i already have a cai, so just curious if there are any drawbacks.

1islandparadise

^^^NO issues, I just wished I would have purchased the Jpipe first. I'm even tempted on picking up Richies V2 Precats because I've read it puts down more power/torque than his Jpipe....I highly recommend this as the #1 perfomance mod for our TL's, still being able to pass emissions and still sounding like a stock TL....

Speed-Demon-Type-S

Hey anyone know where i can see how to install, got an 08 TL Type-S, im defenitely gunna order, jus waitin till i get some money lol

pearlite TL

iTrader: (1)

its a VERY simple install.... jack car on jack stands... unbolt from both front cats and the third cat and there ya go... think its rougly 6 bolts.

Derk's K24

Most likely 6 very rusted bolts LOL

Probably ordering mine tomorrow after I get the money for selling my car.

Speed-Demon-Type-S

Thnx guys, and how much for the exhaust?

Sensual_Sushi

Have CAI, CompTech Exhaust, and RV6 v3 jpipe. All three have power gains (nothing crazy but tangible). Deep solid note, no droning. I did them one by one and can attest to the power increase. No dynos were used.

Side note - Jpipe increased the idle noise the most (still pretty quiet), the cat back exhaust from CompTech was just as quiet at idle and a good sound when flooring it.

Derk's K24

Just ordered mine. What's been the shipping time most people have been seeing from order to door arrival. I know with it being the weekend my order most likely won't go through til Monday...

Richie v6

~1200 depending on the style of tips you want.

To VA I would estimate 2-3days you will see it before the weekend for sure.
