Still waiting on mine... should be done Monday... thinking about picking it up cus its been so long that wasting another 2 days waiting for UPS to deliver it is just out of the question
Will definitely let y'all know how it goes though.![]()
#41
The quality is pretty good! Hopefully will have a nice and easy install..
The hanger is the other thing that I like some other testpipes don't have it. Even tho the testpipe is lighter than the stock one those hangers are a good support.
I hope this helps for now. I will sent another update when I put it on..

So can you by just J tube with the differnt spacers? My buddy has a test pipe with a 42 draft o2 spacer and it did nothing for him and needs to get it fixed soon.
Found my answer.http://www.raimotorsport.com/RAI-J-P...p/11621vib.htm

The Jetted-J is available on our website as it's own product. Many of our exhaust pieces, including this downpipe, include the jetted-j for CEL prevention.

They are back ordered until the end of the week but if you order now you can have one by the beginning of next week.

Just had my rai downpipe with high flow cat and TT borla exhaust installed. Sounds sweet and pulls much more.![]()
#47
Vids or it didn't happen...![]()

Chris from RAI was under my car with a camera type video thingy during the install, maybe he can post that. Otherwise, I can take video of my trip to work tomorrow. But trust me, it happened... And it's awesome. First real mod on my car
Edit: first "mod" was a drop in k&n filter but I don't really count that. Hence the first "real" mod statement.

im sure it sounds similar and has similar gains compared to the usp. I got my catted one for 375$ and then like 20 for shipping. Many of you have seen this first vid so sorry im posting again. Im just trying to give you a comparison. First vid is with usp midpipe with high flow cat option. Second vid is before I installed the usp. I have the oem rear suitcase on the second vid thats why its much quieter. I have a sleeve that I just take off and out comes the suitcase. I have a custom straight pipe axle back to put in place. So in 5 min I can go from loud to quiet.(as for power the suitcase does nothing) Both vids were done in similar temperatures and on the same road even similar gas level. The difference in acceleration is small really. It is slightly quicker though biggest difference is I think over 5k. Im sure once im tuned and can rev higher I will see more gains from the midpipe. You can time like 45-60 10-30 because the time I take to shift is different each time as is the launch. So 0-60 is not relevant.

Just installed mine last night!!! it sounds amaizing and it pulls harder. I will put some videos up so you could hear/see for yourself.
The installetion was not hard (other than taking the old one off, everything was rusted) it fit pretty well.
and is there a way i caan upload videos (from my pc/phone) without having to open a youtube account or anything else?

Glad that you're happy with the Test Pipe!!
I can't believe these are not selling faster. We make them out of high quality stainless steel, not mild steel like some of our competitors, and ours have a lifetime warranty.
Simple bolt on power!
#64
I'm about to buy one, I'm just waiting on how it sounds. Also I can't decide on the cat or non cat version.
I have a family member that will pass me.
