lol....yes there is a sound difference....with a CAI its hard to tell a noticable difference since the CAI is louder....and yes people rave and rant about it because its the single best WHP/$ mod that you can do to our cars....and the install is a simple bolt on.....I would suggest that if you have the money....I actually started with a CAI as my first mod but after the J-Pipe went on I could feel the difference I would say....

Besides a J-Pipe look into a RSB (Progress)....really tightens up the cars handling in the corners

PS....your not ever gonna see it unless it from the box before you install it considering its an exhaust piece and goes underneath your car....

and please don't take my sarcasm as criticism - I'm buying one. I've officially been convinced that it's a wise move.

When you buy this http://r-.ecrater.com/p/7807545/rv6-...e-j-pipe-04-08 do you get everything you need for the install? Brackets, gaskets, etc.?

I actually bought the ATLP one and then got the race pipe seperately, but this is J-pipe elminates the need to buy two parts since they just welded it together....it should include everything you need.....

I would suggest getting it from Marcus @ Heeltoe...he is a vendor on this site and offers good service. Here is the link: http://www.heeltoeauto.com/RV6-Perfo...-pr-65427.html

You may want to email him and ask about the bolts, I know it comes with fresh gaskets but you can reuse the existing bolts from your exhaust when you take it off....and you do not need any additional brackets, this would be a direct swap! Unscrew old J-pipe and 3rd cat and reinstall this in its place!

Every penny....Single best suspension mod IMO.....Believe they are around 140

Progress is the one you want....the thicker the better. And its 24mm....compared the the Type-S RSB at 20mm. Plus it has two settings, street or track depending on how stiff you want it. I keep mine on track.....been that way since the day I installed it.

Heres the link: http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Progress-...-pr-40000.html

If car is jacked up properly and suspension isnt torqued...super easy...hardest part would be sliding the swaybar in around your exhaust...even then not so hard. For your reading enjoyment...

Don't yell at me.... I've honestly looked and can't find it.

I need a great step-by-step for installing the AEM V2 on the 3G TL.

Pictures and/or video too, I hope.


thanks-
