This looks like a nicely crafted piece. I am on the fence right now, as this will be my first performance mod on my 06 5AT. Does anyone else out there have this mod on their otherwise stock 5AT? Is the performance a noticeable improvement that you can feel? Also, I'm on a partial TL Diet. What is the weight of this piece vs. the pieces it will be replacing? Thanks!

I do not know the weight of the new RV6 V3 J-pipe. However, I probably can come fairly close to estimating the weight savings.
When I installed my XLR8 J-Pipe (including removing misc brackets), I lost 4-1/2 lbs. When I replaced the oem 3rd cat with a test pipe, I lost 3 lbs.
Overall, I lost 7-1/2 lbs by removing the oem J-pipe and oem 3rd cat. However, the RV6 V3 will probably be slightly heavier than my setup because the RV6 V3 has those dual pipes extending to the rear flange.
I will estimate that the RV6 V3 J-pipe will save 6 lbs over the oem J-pipe and oem 3rd cat.

Funny enough...having both in my hand...it felt like a lot more than 6 pounds, and when I did that I actually thought of Inaccurate since I've been following the weight reduction thread. I swear it felt like more like 12-15 pound difference in hand. But didn't weigh it...Richie might be able to confirm.
