After several revisions and a season of SCCA racing. RV6 is finally ready to release its downpipe options for the FK8 2017 Civic Type-R. RV6 was approached by Kevin Boehm from Team Honda Research late 2016 to develop a downpipe for a K20C1 swapped Si. Working with Kevin, RV6 was able to refine and stress test the exhaust system to its limits.
This downpipe was designed using Solidworks 3D modeling and our Creaform 3D laser scanner system for precise measurements and fitment. The transition from turbo to tube and tube to front pipe was optimized using advance flow analysis for maximum flow characteristics.
We are currently working with a catalyst manufacture to develop high flow and more importantly high temperature metallic catalyst core for the catted version. We want to ensure a quality long lasting product.
Dyno testing will start at the end of the month. Production castings are due to arrive at the end of May.
Availability: June 2018
Intro price: Catless $399. Catted ~$529 (Depends on price of High Temp cores)
Front pipe, catback exhaust in the works.
RV6 Performance | Civic Type R |
Specifications:
- 304 Stainless Precision Cast transition sections
- 200 Cell High Temperate High Flow Cat (Catted Version)
- All factory heatshield mounting points maintained
- Graphite gasket with sealing ring to prevent blowouts
- 304 Stainless 3.0” outlet
- Fully TIG welded
- Argon back gassed for pure welds
Includes:
- Chromoly Exhaust Studs
- Locking Nuts
- Defouler (Catless Version)
- Gasket
