Haha not sure if they are recommended for use on exhaust systems though.

BTW, I've heard rumors of the V3+RV6 catback dyno numbers and I had to change my underwear

Hey Richie,
When you did the dyno on the stock TL, how much of a noise increase was there? I'm trying to hide this potential mod from the wife...
Thanks!

Those are GREAT numbers for just a Jpipe and no other mods. When the Jpipe is coupled with an exhaust, the gains are much higher. Being that we have the smaller 3.0, I'd say if you didn't have an exhaust 8-9whp, yet with an exhaust probably the same if not more than the numbers posted for the stock TL.

If you have the OEM Jpipe this is a MUST-GET. If JM is saying how good the gains were over the V1 (which is what I have), I can only imagine over stock.

.
Yes sir im still on the stock J-pipe. I saw how restrictive the stock J-pipe is when I put my magnaflow exhaust on. I would love to have another 10-12whp and of course another 8+ WTQ at hand just from theV3 J-Pipe. Can't wait sonnick till Richie has an application for our rides!

JM - I heard the same Rumor from most likely the same place as you...the runor was over 20HP with the proto type catback and the V3..:-)))) Im pretty sure the V3 mated with a Comptech Catback would produce about the same though! Still very impressive for two mods!

The exhaust didnt get any louder just more aggressive sounding. She will new know. No guarantee with PCDs though.

Thumbs up
jumpin Jesus in a birchbark canoe! This thing looks amazing. I first heard about this from Richie a couple months ago when I was inquiring about package deals for his entire kit - boy am I glad I listened to him and waited for the V3.

Just placed my order for the PCD's and the V3.

Thanks for all the hard work on R&D, Richie. Looking forward to some serious gains on my TL with this.

If you do not want/need a 3rdCat/HFC or care for a O2 sensor tap... do it!
This pipe looks great for 99% of members' performance routes.

It'll sound good but remember, our cars are ALL CAI at WOT until you do something extreme like PCDs or something. Even a non-res catback will sound tame compared to a CAI at WOT.
