Whats the difference in power output between catted and catless? Do you have any #s

Stock turbo maybe 5-7 hp. Catted is worth it.

Properly installed you shouldn't get a CEL.

Do you have a link for installation? Planning on ordering soon

Why is everyone going catless?

Why is everyone going catless?

Do you have Ktuner or Hondata?

Yeah. I'm running Hondata on +9psi.

Yeah. I'm running Hondata on +9psi.

With +9 hell yeah you will need a new clutch soon lol. According to Hondata the +9 tune is like 275 wtq and that's way too much for SI stock clutch to handle.

Gasoline smell is the best lol catted is killing potential power in the car. Also RV6 doesn't even have catted lol or at least not yet but may take a while.

Definitely wanting to do a cat'd DP/FP...but wondering - what are the primary differences (or what *will be*) between the PRL and RV6 offerings?

Just to give you all an update I did get it installed but I ran into an issue so I was a little too frustrated to take pictures prior to reinstalling all the covers.

The issue I had was with the upper rear stud on the turbo. I had sprayed everything down a few times with PB Blaster and everything was coming off easy. For the trouble stud I got about 2-3 full turns on the nut and then it jammed up. I resprayed it and gave it a little time then tried to wiggle it to free any possible debris that was in the threads and it was stuck. I got out my breaker bar and cheater bar and got it the rest of the way off but it stripped the stud when I did. I have never seen a nut get stripped while removing it but it happened. I have everything back on but only have the pipe on the turbo with 3 of the 4 bolts/nuts. As of now, I do not see, hear, or smell an exhaust leak under the hood so it should be fine until I get the new stud and nut in to replace the bad ones.

Overall other than the issue I had the install was painless and the DIYs provided on here are great as well. When I get that stud and nut replaced I should be in a better mood so I will try to snap some pictures of the black ceramic coated front-pipe and downpipe in all of their glory.

TL: DR Ran into an issue that was my cars fault not RV6 but fought through it and I have the parts temp installed until I get a replacement stud. They sound great and I am happy with the end result.

Picked up my RV6 3" down pipe with the 2.5" reducer! Beautiful product & craftsmanship!

Mine came with (3) studs & nuts for the reducer but no gasket. Does the stock front pipe gasket survive the tear down?
