Has anyone had problems with the o2 sensor and the check engine light im curious if this mod and the PCD will cause my engine to run lean sometimes

These gen 3 J series motors have very accurate O2 sensors that can compensate for any NA mods.
Not yet we've been very busy with the holidays. After getting the trouble jpipe back it looks like we might be able to get away with some spacers.
Not, yet from past experience the Honda AWD system flips out on the dyno. Still looking for a dyno with mechanically linked front and rear rollers
Yes we just added more to the site. I plan on packing so more up this weekend. Stock is dwindling, we have ~5-7 left.

Long tube J-pipe has me intrigued..
I just came out of a 2009 335i coupe with lots of low and mid-range. I'm intrugued by the J-pipe, if it indeed provides better mid range for my 2012 AWD TL. Do you guys have any data that shows actual gains? Also, what about the fitment issues for a 2012?

While it did take me a long time to get them, and admittedly, the communication sucks, the pieces I received are pretty tip-top quality, and he was easy to contact with shipping/payment/details.
I would be surprised if there were much if any differences between the 2012/2009-2011 exhaust systems at the J pipe level. The tell tale would be to see if the honda/acura factory part numbers are the same for the 2012 and the 2009.
Here is an exploded view of the 2012 Exhaust parts:

And then here is an exploded view of the 2009 exhaust parts:
http://parts.sonsacura.com/showAssem...&searchString=
18210-TK5-A02 appears to be the A pipe (J pipe) in the 2012 model, and in the 2011 and 2010 model.
18210-TK5-A01 appears to be the A pipe (J pipe) in the 2009 model.
The exploded view chart for all models is TK44B0201A.
Logic would indicate that if the pipe fits the 09-11 car, and the part number and diagram are the same on the 10,11,and 12 car, that the pipe should also fit the 12 car.
I would use this site and make sure the 3rd cats are identical, and I'd say you've got a winner if so.
These are different part numbers - which may mean that it's the same part, just a newer year, or that there are in fact part differences.

I also agree about the quality of his products being top notch; XLR8 boasts about using higher quality steel, when I compared it to rv6 they were identical to me. Until XLR8/ATLP comes out with a v2 jpipe getting anything but the RV6 one would be dumb. It's less expensive than the current XLR8 test pipe+jpipe combo and better performing. Lastly about Richies customer service, yea, at times it might take 2-3 calls to get through but when I installed my HFPC 4hrs into the install I called his cell at 1am eastern and he gladly picked up to give me pointers and said he'd be up for another hour incase I needed more help. I don't know how many CEOs give you their personal cell phone numbers let alone pick up way afterhours. I was sold about Richies products because of how highly the 3G guys regard them, after I dealt with Rich and used the products myself, I knew why.

Contacted richie. And he said he is found one 2012 TL owner who is able to come in and let them test fit the j pipe. But the car owner never contacted them since. So they are still trying to look for a 2012 who can test fit.

And since you have no dynos of his product vs our product it's impossible for you to claim his pipe performs better.

I didn't make an assumption on perceived quality based on the finish of either product, but rather the weight, thickness of the metal, weave of the flex pipe and the welds. And while I don't have a dyno to prove his product performs better it's known that the long jpipe, had higher gains on the 3G TL. I also know you're a pro at this that wouldn't waste time, effort and resources designing and ultimately producing a long jpipe if it didn't out perform your current design. Right?

ok so atlp is not the long tube one right? and is the only j-pipe available for FWD.
and rv6 is the only one that does not need race/test pipe.
rv6 and XLR8 is only for awd.

Man, it's all too confusing with ATLP, RV6, XLR8, FWD, AWD, .....
Can someone knowledgeable enough please summarize ?

I should mention that shipping was fast and the product itself was mint. The welds were perfect. The guys at the muffler shop I had install it were ooohing and ahhing over how nice the work was. Shame to put a work of art under the car where it cant be seen!

I'll do my best.
I believe ATLP has full exhaust parts for both FWD and AWD TL's - but don't quote me there.
The RV6 (richie v6 - vendor here) - is a long tube -you don't need a Cat - the long tube replaces it.
RV6 and XLR8 (http://store.excelerateperformance.com/) exhaust components are only for AWD i believe.
Hope that helps!
