Dang! Still good though!

He said real world numbers are about 200whp 170wtq. But all and all I am very satisfied on how she responds and pulls

 

[kb91hatch]

Hasport lower Mount ordered! It is on backorder though so might be a coupe weeks. Till then I am saving up for the borla exhaust also! She is finally coming along

so rv6 is the cheapest down pipe i could find, looks like its $439 catted and $76 for shipping. seems high though don't it , that was more then my cat back exhaust shipped, bout to pull the trigger on a hondata but i want to get the down pipe before i tune it

 

[kb91hatch]

Go with the catless! But that's not a bad price for it. I am looking at picking up the borla exhaust soon! If I was in your shoes I would snag the downpipe then get the hondata. You can find a good used one for a good price. I got mine from another member for a steal

ya my buddie installed a berk catted down-pipe and invidia n1 exhaust on his 8th gen last night, no codes and no tune yet, he says it pulls much better, and the vtec hits like a train now. doesn't the un- catted down-pipes make an awful smell? would save liek 100 dollars though

 

[kb91hatch]

I don't mind the smell, it's not bad at all, you will get a nice gain from it that's for sure!

i wish i could run no-cat downpipes.....emissions testing is a whore.

car looks awesome man!!! congrats on the gains.

 

[kb91hatch]

Thanks! You can run one, just keep your stock piece and swap it out when you gotta test!

 

[greene907]

ive read that a cat-less is raspier at the higher rpm, and the smell is the turn off, hows yours ??

Neither one of those bother me at all, and I hate rasp! Honestly it is not bad at all. I don't even notice the smell either

 

[greene907]

how long did you run your rv6 downpipe before you got your tune?

 

[kb91hatch]

Maybe a month, but I ran a hondata base tune with the secondary o2 disabled so I wouldn't get a cel.

 

[greene907]

wont hurt the car though? Ima go catted so i shouldn't see a code i think , might be a month before i can save up for the hondata. should get a little gains after downpipe install then a little more after tune

 

[kb91hatch]

Won't hurt it even if you go catless, the rv6 does come with a defouler so that should help with not getting a code. There are used unlocked ones for sale, that's what I went with. Got it for way less that way

 

[greene907]

ya ive looked on here and the other 9th forums i even posted a want to buy on here and no bites

 

[kb91hatch]

Yea it took me a bit to get one, I ended up getting lucky and someone responded to my post.

 

[greene907]

did you still feel gains when you put the down pipe on pre tune?

 

[kb91hatch]

Yes I felt the gains, but I hardly get on my car. I have only actually got on the car a handful of times, most of those times were on the dyno lol

Got the Chrome gone today!

My buddy did this in his shop with vinyl wrap. It matches so good with the black in the grill and rear diffuser trim piece. Absolutely love it, now I need some jdm emblems!
