j2 catless pipe
 
Just bought my j2 pipe for 119. Looked again and now they are going for 429. Wtf is going on.

jamesm 07-19-2013 11:17 AM
they raise the prices crazy high when they go out of stock. i picked mine up for $100 shipped from jonmotoring right before the price went up to $120. even at $120 it's a steal.

sosick 07-19-2013 11:20 AM
Thats dumb the whole point was to be a cheap upgrade at that price id get the 200 from the vendors and the catback is like 900 lol

ramiram1984 07-19-2013 12:07 PM
I'd def wouldn't pay $429 for it. I too got it for $100 off Jonmotoring. Sold it for $40.

jamesm 07-19-2013 12:23 PM
They'll drop the price back down once they're in stock. I emailed the seller on eBay he said it has something to do with ebay fees, it's better to just jack the price so no one will buy it until they have them available. Their catback is listed at like $1200 or something until its back, the it'll be ~$400 again.

im sitll seeing it for 120 http://www.jonmotoring.com/j2-engine...ipe-test-pipe/

Nightbringer 07-19-2013 02:40 PM
I noticed they jumped into $1000 for the catback, etc. As previously stated though they'll return to normalcy once they're in stock. I paid $110 for frontpipe and $390 for the catback. Quality's decent, but I wouldn't have paid much more than that for either haha.

jamesm 07-19-2013 04:11 PM
yeah the j2 stuff is decent, it's pretty hard to mess up a piece of pipe. it's definitely not stainless, though (at least doesn't pass a magnet test). i think as far a quality and price the tsudo is a better value, as it's around $450 shipped, with a catted front pipe included and looks to be of better quality. it's only 2.5" though, so probably better to stick with the j2 if your going FI.

i may end up selling my j2 front pipe and just getting the 2.5" tsudo setup for now, upgrade to a real 3" solution once more reasonably priced options become available.

some stainless steels are not magnetic

Nightbringer 07-19-2013 08:36 PM
Ferritic and Martensitic stainless steels are magnetic. Austenitic stainless steels are non-magnetic. All depends on the mix. I was just saying I live in Wisconsin. You look at things funny and they corrode here. Even 409 SS usually gets ugly by now, but all my pipes still look new corrosion-wise.

I agree though, I wasn't aware of the Tsudo system when I purchased mine. I enjoy the J2's sound, but if I had to do it over again, the Tsudo's a much better deal.

you guys salt in wisconsin? im from ND and they salt in minnesota and i was always thankful we didnt, that stuff is terrible.

bakerr6 07-19-2013 10:26 PM

We massively salt in Wisconsin. Ridiculously so. After a 30 minute drive my cars have come home looking like they were 100% plastidipped white. Seriously. Caked. Winter in this state is horrifically hard on vehicles.

troek 07-22-2013 01:04 AM
man, that sucks. here in japan there is very little snow in the tokyo area and some 20 plus year old cars undersides look like a 5 year old car up in the midwest.

Wow those went fast! I actually gave my j2 cat back away for free and kept the catless front pipe. I should have sold it. I didnt know there was a high demand for them right now

Im runnunig the 2.75mm j2 catless front pipe, moded stock mid pipe to 2.5mm using stock resonator and made my own magnaflow axle back. Sounds great and no drone in cab. The biggest difference was when I added the catless front pipe. It really helped the powerband and torque dip
