Hi,
Is this available with the the 3rd cat? Any dyno charts for the 2018 TLX?

That A-Spec is sharp!!! Please provide specs on it also!!! :-D

Thanks!

I don't have any audio from that specific car as the customer was out of state, what I do have on hand has the catback on it as well.

Perhaps someone with our Jpipe on a stock exhaust could chime in with a video!

They offer a subtle modified sound over stock due to the fact they have larger diameter piping and remove the catalytic converter, but it is far from overbearing.

I reached out to a couple cars with our Jpipe to get an audio clip. I will post that up once I have it!

We do not have a catted option available for these platforms at this time since there is not enough of a demand for them to justify development.

The cat delete option should not give you any troubles however! The Jpipe does have a sensor in it, but since the cat is located post-sensor you can remove it without causing a check engine light or needing a tune!

Removing the cat helps with the power gains as well. On an untuned vehicle you can anticipate ~12hp worth of gains with a similar torque figure. With an intake, Jpipe, exhaust, and tune we have seen gains up to 20hp/25ft-lbs on the 3.5L!

I own the car at the beginning of this thread. I have RV6 HFPC, XLR8 j-pipe, Vibrant resonator, stock exhaust

Here is the sound of idle and revving in park



here is the sound under load


I had the resonator installed because with the HFPC added a little drone so that took care of almost all of it.

PS the stock brakes SUCK balls for canyon carving. It was just fine until I went down the mountain driving in the same manner. Halfway down my peddle became mushy and it was scary so I chilled out for a while to let them cool. Maybe 10
minutes tops driving like this

Kabayan,
What are your specs on wheels? What are you lowered on also. The A-Spec sounds great!!! Definitely will be purchasing a j-pipe soon!

Here is the thread with everything I have done on my car. I ended up selling my rims and tires and putting the stock ones on because I needed some money in between jobs. I put the 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacer on the rear with the stock 19” set up so they look pretty flush. Man I miss those continental tires though. They stuck like glue to the road.

Also I am a 6’5” “joe” that lived in the Philippines for a while.

another video showing start up, idle, mild acceleration and some more full acceleration. In other words more comprehensive
