Awesome , Thanks for the reply!
I have the afe one and it’s great as well !
How’s the sound from it? Do you have dp and exhaust as well? I’m curious as to what’s the sound of it !!

Look at page 17 of this thread - there are some YouTube videos embedded there for sounds. The catted downpipe video is my car - stock exhaust aside from the downpipe. I'm holding out until RV6 releases their front pipe / exhaust system based on the quality of the downpipe.

Hello!, I checked the spec and here I read 200 cel cated version, but on the web says 300 cel which one is correct?

I'm very interested, My other concern is the temperature, I saw there is ceramic coating optional, if I do ceramic coating and add lava wrap plus the stock shield would be enough vs downpipe balnket? I saw another exhaust system and the downpipe came whit downpipe blanket.


Regards.

I called them ( RV6 Performance) asking the same thing & they said it is a 300 cel DP, as for the heat wrap on the DP, some say it is not recommended when catted.

Thank you Night Fury!, Now I wounder why is not recommended wrap it when is cated? I'm try to compare whit GRP downpipe (200cel) and he has downpipe blanket, looks like better termic insulation. but basically if we wrap it would be the same like blanket?

and I forgot outlet GRP downpipe is 2.5 inches vs 3 inches Rv6, but GRP is 200 cel vs 300 cel RV6....
