I have spent the last couple days going through countless threads looking for different jpipes. I see a lot of different styles but hardly ever see the brand names, pipe material, or pipe diameter at the end.

So post a pic of your jpipe and which way it fires (drivers, passenger, or straight down) Include the brand name and if you had to modify it to fit properly.

I'm looking to buy a good looking jpipe which fires down on the drivers side far enough away from the motor mount. (Fmic setup)

Wang Fu or Ching Wong... some Chinese E-bay company, $40 shipped, worked just fine.

Post 2 pic 4.

Actually, I think it was Ilovetacotaco.

Here's mine with an ETS j-pipe:


And a friend's 1G FWD car with an ETS designed for a 2G (Only fits the FWD, would it the AWD crossmember on a 1G. Also puts the outlet very low which makes it nice for long route like we're running):

I use the VRSF j-pipe, and I believe you have to use it with their intercooler setup.

So the ets pipe has the 90* alum pipe bend welded on that faces the drivers side? And the vrsf doesn't, you would use a 90* coupler?

The ets looks better imo, but where does the 90* bend end up at?

Thanks good pics so far

My 1G ETS points straight down. The 2G one has a 90 toward the pass. side at the bottom:



Also, the ETS stuff is steel, not alum.

Ahh, steel is a big plus!

Yea VRSF uses a 90* coupler to connect to the lower IC pipe. This is the best pic I could find of it.

Here is mine. VRSF J-pipe. Angles straight down and then connects to the LICP with a 90 degree coupler.

If it matters... The e-bay j-pipe I had was 2 1/4" aluminum, 3/8" flange and fired towards the drivers side.

I bought mine from Dejon a long time ago... don't have a pic of it installed on my car, but this is what it looks like. Didn't have to modify the pipe, but I had to trim a little plastic off one of the fans to make the pipe fit.

Isn't that dejons u pipe for a t-25/ t28 with a fmic?



Here's my only picture I have with my pipe installed and it was a few years ago. Punishment/cx racing piping

Wow that looks really good. The thing I don't like about some j pipes is the two pipes they weld together end up making a sharp angle where the two meet. And that just doesn't look good imo. Anyway, that one looks great nice welds too. What is the end of the pipe od? Its this one right?

I really like my current jpipe because its a good quality thick steel, and its one smooth formed pipe. The problem though is that it fires to the passenger side and the piping ends up under the centermember (on its way to the FMIC) And holy hell does it scare me if I bottom out somewhere and destroy my engine that way. I should post a pic of how banged up that pipe is. This is all due to the PO, btw

I had one just like the VRSF but a little smaller. had to modify it though because I have a custom FMIC setup.

That's a cool setup you have there haz. Nice shortroute!

Thanks. I put alot of time into that. but I will be swapping out those pipes for some nice mandrel bent ones when the money comes around. It def works for having no lag this way though RRE used to have a kit like this but mine is a little bigger.

Hey let's get some more pics in this thread! We still haven't seen all the jpipes. What is everyones favorite?

Ebay j-pipe...nothing special!

I am currently running an aluminum radiator with a FAL dual fan shroud set up. It says on the ETS website that their J-pipe will not work with this fan setup, so I was required to find a J-pipe that would work, solution, Dejon Powerhouse

Extremely tight fitment, great quality. The picture doesnt do the product justice, I would snap another one but the car is in pieces right now. The best part is that the J-pipe has the option of discharging to the driver or passenger side, made FMIC super easy. One could argue that its a bit over priced at $129 (currently, bought it when it was still $99).

I'm curious about the VRSF, notice the first post showing VRSF (#4) then look at the next VRSF post (#9). They are clearly different weld qualities. And maybe a smoother angle transistion of the second one. Is VRSF steel?

The ETS is good in that it has that built in 90 and that should come in handy, but where does that bend, bend at? Really close to the center member?

Its not an ETS unit, its a DEJON POWERHOUSE, as stated in my post.

Buddy, you are in luck, I did some digging and found this picture.
I bought a 12" long 2.5" coupler from extremepsi, cut it to proper length and attached it to the 85* bend pipe that ETS provides in there kit to connect to the hotside of the intercooler.

Maybe VRSF switched to a different design? The welds on his do look a lot better, but I can't complain, it's a pipe .
Also, it is aluminum.

Yeah my bad, ets technically doesnt make one they just sell the Dejon. Gets confusing I suppose.

So which ones are steel? Just the Dejon?

you are confusing yourself.

ETS makes a very nice SS j-pipe that came with the kit. The problem is that ETS's jpipe does not work with a FAL dual fan shroud. Its the same Jpip that was posted earlier in the thread:
I needed to find a solution, so I purchased a DEJON POWERHOUSE j-pipe from them. As you can tell they have a different design and discharge from a different location. They have a website: DEJON | Powerhouse

Dejon is steel, and the whole intercooler kit from ETS is SS except for the intercooler itself.

SS is significantly heavier than aluminum, but I have never crushed a SS intercooler piping when tightening a clamp, or create a boostleak because of the tightening. Worth it in my opinion.

The Dejon also clears ever type of heatshield for the manifold including the old JMF FP manifold heatshield.

Okay my bad I don't know when I got confused but I did.

Anyway IMO the ETS pipe looks rigged, which is understandable but not my style. So far I like the Dejon the best because its smooth and comes with the built in 90*, but wow on the price.

Runner up would be VRSF but not sure what coupler setup Id end up with considering it needs to be a 90* and reach long enough bewteen the two pipes without looking bulky.
