RV6 Performance FK8 Civic Type-R Downpipe Options

[Dennietho]

The issue is the unresonated exhaust since it was tuned around a stock downpipe. Now that you increased flow and the exhaust can no longer dampen the rasp. The solution would be to add a resonator.

That's what I assumed... guess I'll be throw back on the resonator. Hopefully I'll still have the pops and burbles.

I have the Milltek unresonated exhaust and thought it sounded perfect. Had a shop install the ceramic coated RV6 catted downpipe and they said they didnt install one of the heatshield bolts because it would drill into the turbo blanket.
Now the car is really loud and sounds like a fart can above 3k rpm. Is it because the heat shield isnt bolted down all the way or the downpipe? Will the raspiness go away after the downpipe breaks in? I read in the forums that the catted downpipe barely changes the sound.

yeah, that's due to no resonators man...it'll sound farty for sure

Are you guys coming anytime soon with the turbo back exhaust??

Its on our list of things to do after we get settled in our new facility.

Any results yet?

The catted version ran about 5WHP less. I will have to print out the graph once our dyno is set back up.

Bump. Hows everyone's downpipe doing?

Mine ceramic coating is slowing fading due to possible high heat from the Cat?

Of course I just ordered a ceramic coated one two days ago...

I have both a catted and catless dp from you guys (both ceramic coated) and the quality is amazing. No problem with my ceramic coating. Still looks new.

yeah, one reason I went with RV6 over PRL was honestly because of past experience...the RV6 pipes I had on my RL was great

Still loving my catted DP and frontpipe - just need the rest of the exhaust now. My ceramic coating on both is holding up great too.

The catted DP has been great on my Type R, although haven't put a ton of miles on it since isn't my daily driver.

Speaking of my daily driver, my 14 Accord V6 has a RV6 catted DP's as well. They have been great as well for years but lately has been occasionally throwing a code. Would have to look at the specific code but something about the catalytic converter not running efficient I believe.

My RV6 downpipe is still flawless

I threw an emissions CEL with my Catted RV6 DP and the included defouler within 100 miles of install. Is that... normal? I thought that the Catted DP wasn't supposed to do that, especially with a defouler.
