ok so i just installed the atlp j pipe and test pipe. jesus anything else you guys remove to make it sound any louder, still sounds stock not even a change at all. also installing it i had to bend some type of bracket that i think holds and 02 wire in place as well as some other wires from maybe the harness right by the pan. anyone else have to do this?

 

j-pipe doesn't make the car louder... Get an straight pipe if u want loud.

I Didn't have to bend anything just slap it on and go hit vtec after.

 

i figured the test pipe would have done something

 

what made you think it will get louder? installing headers on a b-series makes no sound difference si jpipe shouldnt either..

 

Gotta get an exhaust if you want sound. J pipe frees up some mid-top range power. Currently running XLR8 v2 j pipe with ATLP exhaust. Sounds beast.

 

^ As Carbon said, most people get the J-Pipe for power, and an exhaust for sound.

i didnt realize how many mufflers and resonators are on the car. just a test pipe on my 300gt made it louder but then again there was really only 1 muffler on it. never got under the car untill i actually installed the j pipe

 

also anyone have a j pipe on a a/t? there was clearance issues on the left side of the pipe right by the oil pan. some metal piece that looked like it held the 02 sensor up from dangling as well as some wires on the harness. i had to bend the metal up in order for the j pipe to go on

 

Mine was install from a friend of mine at a Honda dealership, but he did ask me to trim a piece of metal or something. I dont recall too much. My J pipe is XLR8... it might be different

 

Very well-quoted...

 

anyway you can find out exactly what it was? i bent it and now im pretty sure its rubbing. just wanted to see what other guys did

 

I rmb that he has to cut it or something... I say bring it to a shop =s
sorry lol

 

you have to cut the plastic piece not sure what else you need to mod. I have a j-pipe and it was plug and play

 

lol its alright id rather not bring it to a shop when i can do it for free. was just checking
