I was wondering if there were any audio clips on what a catted down pipe sounds like with a stock exhaust. Anyone have this setup? What are your thoughts?

I have the RV6 catted downpipe on stock exhaust. The exhaust sounds a bit louder and darker then with oem downpipe. When cruising on the highway it's like stock. In low rpm's and cold start it's a bit louder.

I am currently running a PRL catted downpipe and AFE frontpipe to stock exhaust. Sounds no different than stock. I have yet to run full throttle since I'm breaking the engine in but all is quiet on this end. Just the way I like it.

Breaking the engine in? I thought u had your car for over a year base upon post I've seen you post about drag racing and stuff, u got a new car?
I blew my engine by mistake, back late in May of last year, running a tune for race gas on 93 octane. Oops! :eek: I just got the car back earlier this week. Rebuild delays due to Covid-19 of course. :thumbsdown:

So breaking the engine in.........'quickly' (Driving a lot). I'm ready to get back into the game. :D

Sorry, but no. I took it off the car. Sold the car a while ago. Still have to sell the downpipe though

I uploaded a video I took today. Its a cold start with a couple of small revs @ the 2:03 mark.

Just to add some details, I have PRL catted down pipe on stock exhaust. TSP 1.5 tune, PRL CAI and upgraded intercooler.

Does your stock exhaust also include a resonator and/or a muffler delete?

Sound clips don’t really ever tell the full story either. I just put the PRL HVDP and Front pipe on my ‘19 Si. It absolutely sounds different/better but not obnoxious at all. I kept the rest of the exhaust OeM for now. The turbo response is also noticeably a bit quicker. It just gives the car a more hearty tone to it.
