RV6 Performance FK8 Civic Type-R Downpipe Options

[RV6]

After several revisions and a season of SCCA racing. RV6 is finally ready to release its downpipe options for the FK8 2017 Civic Type-R. RV6 was approached by Kevin Boehm from Team Honda Research late 2016 to develop a downpipe for a K20C1 swapped Si. Working with Kevin, RV6 was able to refine and stress test the exhaust system to its limits.

This downpipe was designed using Solidworks 3D modeling and our Creaform 3D laser scanner system for precise measurements and fitment. The transition from turbo to tube and tube to front pipe was optimized using advance flow analysis for maximum flow characteristics.

We are currently working with a catalyst manufacture to develop high flow and more importantly high temperature metallic catalyst core for the catted version. We want to ensure a quality long lasting product.

Dyno testing will start at the end of the month. Production castings are due to arrive at the end of May.

Availability: June 2018
Intro price: Catless $399. Catted ~$529 (Depends on price of High Temp cores)
Front pipe, catback exhaust in the works.

Here's your first stupid question: Will these ever be CARB approved?

I doubt any downpipe that replaces a cat will ever be CARB approved.

Ceramic coating for downpipe will be offered?

Thank you so much

RV6 makes a quality product. Have the high flow precats on my Accord. Looking forward to the developments of this and great to have another option to choose from.

Yes, we will be offering polished silver and matte black ceramic coating. The ceramic coating does a great job of reducing the radiant heat. The process is done by a local company and takes around a week additional.

Will you guys sell this (Pics) section ? Can you guys eventually make a single exhaust pipe version of it (street)?

We are working on the exhaust now. Depending on what people like we can different swapable rear sections for different sounds and exhaust levels. I can tell you that that exhaust in the picture is very loud even for a race car.

Are you able to put the OEM heat shield on this? Not a deal breaker but I would love the look of OEM while having this beautiful piece under the standard heat shield.

Opps forgot add these pics. Our FK8 downpipe is fully compatible with the factory heat shields. The heat shields are vital to keeping the heat off the charge piping.

This is a great looking piece that appears to be very well designed. Nice work @RV6.

Yeah, I was blown away by the quality of the downpipes we had to raffle off at WTD. These look great. This is very tempting.

If you offer some ceramic coating, is it possible to cut out the post for stock heatshield to make it cleaner?

Looking forward
