hurry the hell up already lol, but yes it does, but if you already go that far you might as well just run one pipe back and resplit it back there (since they are already so mixed together)(unless of course you could make one that did not really cross over at all really though, and have the crossover opening just big enough for the O2 to fit in )

but yeah our one O2 really limits our ability to run true duels and still maintain good response from the O2 still
but yeah it would make it so easy though for duels with having a pipe run to each muffler itself


btw i already have comptechs, but i don't really like how they have such short primarys, and join together so fast

so much win, written all over this

RV6 PCD & V3 = 30+ WHP gains on a 6MT/TL-S with exhaust... for a price, im sure well under $1000 combined, is sure to be a success

kudos to you Rich.

Wow, I am glad I didn't purchase any other j pipes. I was about to!

Why are there 2 seperate power gain numbers?
13 WHP peak gained
7 WTQ peak gained

15 WHP average gained
12 WTQ average gained

I just wanna make this clear for everyone else.....this dyno was done on an AUTO UNMODIFIED TL. The ATLP and XLR8 were done on 6 speeds with at least an aftermarket exhaust. 13whp on a STOCK AUTO means more like 16-17 on a 6 speed, and prob 10-12wtq. With exhaust, who knows....great work Richie!

I'm still deciding because I am going with a 3" exhaust and may just go custom since I want to use a 3" collector from the Jpipe. But I'm not sure yet! Great work!
Yes, having supporting mods like a intake and exhaust will further improve the gains. We did some initial dyno testing of the RV6 exhaust this weekend. Gains where very impressive.

Looking for a 4G in the Chicagoland for testing. Spread the word.

Peak numbers can be misleading a average better represents gains over the powerband.

Yes I do! It's a slower process since I do not own the car. I do have a few local guys willing to help. They should be out mid summer and well worth the wait. We are making some serious investment in to the 8th gen.

I have a feeling there will be a flood of used jpipes on the market. We have almost 10 pre orders already!

Richie them things look HOT... I had a question in regards to noise/smell. Would it smell bad (with no cats or / HFC ) and be really loud if i go with the PCD's and your V3 with a custom 3' cat-back?

I know everyone is excited about the power gains but the extra clearance is awesome as well. Now time to find money for the damn thing.

Looks like we have some j-pipe prowlers.

I really like how flush it looks underneath the car. Really clean. The power band fattened up across the board too.

AHHHHHHHHH LOL You're killin me Rich. Hopefully I can wait out that long. This new Jpipe looks great. I may ditch my ATLP one for this. Can't wait to see what other products you come out with for the TL and 8th Gen Accord.

Does anyone know if I can just get this j-pipe and put it on a base 05 exhaust without any other mods? Do I have to get any other parts or mod anything else besides losing the 3rd cat? Thanks!

some people don't mind the smell, then others can't stand it, all depends on the person (but you could always add a cat further downstream though, especially if you are already getting a custom exhaust)

then noise all depends on how many mufflers/resonators and such are going to be in that custom exhaust, but yes it will more then likely be louder then stock though
and again all depends on how much sound and such you can deal with on a regular basis

should be no problem since if it did not fit the factory pre-cats and such, then those would also be coming with the V3 pipe, so it would all fit together as one

the answer to that is YES!!!!!!!

i had this design with longer runners in my labree jpipe and let me tell you, it wont dissappoint!!! the midrange power is awesome, compared to any other of the jpipes out on the market, cause ive had them all


richie really out did himself this time around. he hit me up awhile back regarding my custom labree jpipe and i knew he had something in the works. love the pipes, dual flex pipes, merge looks awesome and is definetly slammed friendly


oh and 450 is a GREAT price, considering you dont need a 3rd race/test pipe. this V3 is a win win all the way around again, very nice job rich!

Haven't mated the V3 to PCDs yet, I know a lot of people that drive catless if you keep your windows closed you wont smell a thing. Some people love the smell and some complain about it. Yes I am 90% certain that exhaust setup will be loud. A larger resonator should help a lot.

All my dynos were done on a bone stock TL base. The gains are solely from the Jpipe alone. Everything you need will be in the box. (new nuts, bolts, and gaskets)

Sure I will post up some detailed pics when I get the new batch it. Yes all new hardware is included, gaskets, nuts, and bolts.

Pics will be up soon. Someone local just came by with cash and ran off with my only V3 jpipe. I will get the rest in Tuesday or Wednesday. Haven't thought about a deal with PCD's yet, I will consider it. There are only ~10 sets of V2 PCDs lefts I kind of want to make them last.
