trust me, it wont be silent anymore lol.

the time when i was running catless with my rv6 PCD's, 3rd cat delete labree jpipe with my comptech catback it was LOUD!! i had to add a 20 resonator to quiet that puppy down.

even with my current setup, rv6 PCD's. ATLP jpipe and xlr8 HFC its still pretty loud, but its a goood loud

Is there a significant difference between the ATLP V2, and the RV6-V3? I have the RV6-V2 but this system looks a lot better for some reason.

^^ its newer, shinier, cheaper, and uses the free flowing 2-1 collector that ATLP v2 and previous uses

Sonnick

I'd say it's a noticeable difference. Just based off the MUCH longer primaries, you should notice some low/midrange gain for sure. You may even see a couple more hp at the peak. Between the RV6 V2 and V3 however is a HUGE difference. I have the V1 and I can't wait to see what the longer primaries will do to my 1/4 mile time!

As stated before, the main difference is the longer primaries. ATLP always had a legit merge. Now that RV6 extend the j pipe to kill the 3rd cat completely, this pipe is moneeeeeeeeeeeeeey.

Sonnick

I know you already had a Jpipe before, but how does it feel now? Any ECU adjustments? Any updates on how it pulls since you've opened it up?

Getting my installed tomorrow I was going to wait to get my Cat back and do it all at once but I just cant wait...lol

Well, coming from a V1, I feel a pretty significant difference.

First thing you'll notice is that it substantially louder... I mentioned before it sounds like PCD but maybe toned down 50%. No rasp @ WOT, which is dope.

Pulls harder IMO. I love just getting on the pedal and getting pushed back into the seat. Car moved before but I definitely think low end is improved.

Haven't taken the car past 80MPH due to traffic etc but it gets up there in style (speed and exhaust note).

Looking forward to sound clips on cars with a non-res exhaust!

richie didnt exactly utilize a Y merge, BUT the way the pipes are cut and welded together, it works just as well. what i think is really impressive about this merge along with running individual flex pipes, it allowed him to stretch the primaries as far back as possible for maximum power that couldnt have been possible using a standard Y merge w/ single flex pipe.

richie really out did himself this time around. unlike the V1, V2, no gripes whatsoever with the V3 for me


+1

longer primaries is the key to unlocking more low to mid range umfff. peak hp/tq #'s over previous jpipes may not be that impressive, but were not lacking in that department. any kind of tq gains in the low end is always a welcome

at the time i installed my labree 3rd cat delete jpipe, i gained close to 25hp/25tq+ in the low to mid end on the dyno, over the stock unit O.0 (SC'd though)

trust me, this pipe wont dissapoint!

So is it safe to say that this is better performance wise than the ATLP V2? I'm buying the ATLP base exhaust very soon and was going to go ATLP all the way back, but now this has me thinking that this may be the better buy. I'm wondering if the ATLP company will be coming out with a V3?

^ Only time will tell. You can always wait for a dyno to surface with supporting mods since I think the ATLP dyno runs weren't done on a bone stock, auto TL.

LostSol

The first post in this thread shows a dyno of this pipe on an otherwise stock auto TL, and the gains were impressive. And note as well that the dyno was done on a mustang dyno which reads approximately 11% low compared to a DynoJet.

Simply put, no other J-pipe currently made can compete.

More dynos will be up tomorrow...

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ I think its 12%

Anyway, lets wait for the numbers to speak for themselves. I am very curious as well.

Very impressive as is.

LostSol

Youre always busting balls man!

Should I post a DIY for the install or has one already been done?

I'll be ordering this later this afternoon. Hopefully there still in stock. can't wait.

chris288

I think that sounds great, what exactly to you have from the motor to the tail pipes ?

I'm going with the V3 and Intake, if it still doesn't sound they way I want it too, i'm going to try a mid-muffler delete. Thanks Chris.

I might do a dyno before and after my PCDs and V3

No DIY yet, you should post it.

Still in stock.

Yes do it!

I didnt read all the pages in this thread... is there a merge collector on this pipe?

Got mine installed today!

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Nice cut!

Impressions?

Yukoncole

iTrader: (1)

It feels good!! I can tell it is there and the stock one is gone for sure! I think it will be much more noticable once I get my CAI installed later this week and have some air to actually push through it! I do have a slight bit of rasp at about 3100 to 3800 RPM but am pretty sure it will go away as the pipe breaks in and get a little carbon in it! The fitment is dead nuts PERFECT!! You can surely tell RV6/Richie put some R&D into this pipe!!

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

Yeah the rasp doesn't stay for long. I had it initially but it went away after a spirited drive home.

Yukoncole

iTrader: (1)

Ya I may have broken a few laws on the way home myself...lol, It was still there but I could tell it was going away

maknwar

just a quick question. If I put this on my 07 TL-S, will I say OMG, nice, or meh. Is there a noticeable difference compared to stock? I just dont want to spend $450 for a mediocre jump in performance.

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

I'm willing to bet $20 you'll say OMG... willing to bet $100 you'll not say meh.

Yukoncole

iTrader: (1)

From everything I have read and learned the S's respond even better than the 3.2's to these Jpipes and Exhaust mods!! I am not disappointed in mine at all and its only 12 miles new to me.

So after the meet Sunday & reading this thread I'm slowly starting to lean towards the RV6....I was planning on doing ATLP all the way. I have had my ATLP V2 quads installed for about a month now & need the Jpipe & HFC. I'm guessing all of you will recommend the RV6, I just dont need it more loud & raspy since I already get some drone around the 2k rpm band and I drive clients around constantly.

djbonsu

iTrader: (3)

^^RV6 V3 with ATLP quads sounds like a winner to me

Yukoncole

iTrader: (1)

I have been running a Stage 3 setup and when I installed this RV6 pipe today it made very little difference in my exhaust note! I think you will be just fine!

Schu

Sonnick

If you are worried about it being too loud, I hate to say it, but you may have to cut into that beautiful exhaust and add a resonator. This Jpipe will give you a noticeable increase in power without a doubt. I noticed an increase on my V1 which, compared to this one, is far inferior. The long primaries, the merge, everything about this pipe is quality.

Check the dyno, it gained 13hp/7wtq on a stock 5AT base model. On a stock 5AT Type S, that's over 15whp/10wtq. Those are only peak numbers...and especially, with an exhaust, which you already have, the whole low/midrange will feel much more enjoyable with the extra available torque.

iTrader: (10)

OOh thats exactly what I want to hear. I also just put a stage 3 exhaust on mine cuz I couldnt stand the loudness of the greddy.. I am just glad that this will not make my car loud again!!

Getting mine on thursday according to Fed Ex!! Cant wait to install this thing!!

LostSol

Izzy - Type-S dyno will be posted tonight. You can make a more informed decision once you see the power the pipe makes.
