Maybe after the holidays. Your best bet would be to pick up the front pipe during preorder and the downpipe during our BF sale.

Sure we can ship to Europe. Just PM us the details and we will sent you a custom invoice.

I had him put the OEM DP heat shield on but we left off the top heat shield, figuring the turbo blanket would take care of that - we were wrong.

I was just out poking around and despite ceramic coating, the proximity to the intake pipe is just too close for it to not absorb heat. So, I'll be taking the top intake pipe back off, gold-wrapping it, and putting at least two of the three bolts into the top heat shield so it's back in place.

I think I figured out the P0139 thing; KTuner has an option to disable P0420 which, I believe, clears both 420 and 139.
So would you say ceramic coating was a bit of a waste?

I did for 3-4 months before getting my Hondata and no issues whatsoever. I have the RV6 catless ceramic coated DP.

Not without knowing what an uncoated piece would do in the same setup I have. The way it sits without a heat shield over the top, I can imagine that ceramic coating does help, and that without it, temps would have been even harder to control. My takeaway was that no matter which option you go with, some heat mitigation on the pipe is useful but the heat shield is mandatory, as are any measures one can take to keep heat out of the inlet pipe.

I hope that helps!

Correct, no CELs at all before and after Hondata. I did see some gains before Hondata but after, it was a totally different world haha. Hondata should've been my first mod lol.
