I use USPS Priority with international orders. They usually have the best duty and brokerage fees. I think UPS and Fedex are $45 minimum.

It just happens if you get unlucky.

Regarding the smell, it smells a lot for the first 2 weeks ish after you get the jpipe installed. I've made about 4 jpipes on my accord before richie started making his products and they've all smelled really bad when i first installed them.

in cali, it's a 50/50 chance of getting caught.
How do you know this? Im from cali, and was going to order the rv6 v3 j pipe eventually, until i read this post..

Congrats on your first performance mod. This is my only performance mod as well and no, it will not add drone or rasp, just a very slight growl. Of course this comes from a 3.5L viewpoint. Have fun!

Good to hear! Now its time for some PCDs or HFPCs, they will almost double your gains.

I think I've read somewhere in this thread stating that you'd only feel the increase in HP if you rev it over 3k RPM. Would anyone confirm that this J-Pipe add HP to either lower end or higher end.

Thanks

Richie-Will the HFPCs be better for low end power, or are they both geared for top end?

A good amount of mid range and low end power is gained. But the top end gains are much more apparent since this is when the stock components become bottlenecks.

They will both have approximately the same low end gains, the PCDs will have more top end since that is when the engine really breathes. The PCDs make power the entire powerband band. No power is lost, some people feel there is lost in low end power since the top end gains are so much more apparent. But every dyno I've seen you gain the entire powerband.

Yup the power keeps climbing tapering off later in the power band.

Ugh. Hate you. Lol


Also, it's good to know others use that odd spot on the right of the trunk tray to store stuff so it won't roll around.

You're in WI, do you board in the winter? Crazy kid.
