When the K24Z7 was first introduced, many people were disappointed with the integrated exhaust manifold that made conventional “headers” obsolete. This is especially true since the K-Series platform produced some very impressive performance gains with quality headers. When you look at the O.E precat, you can easily tell it was designed to be made cheaply and to be mass produced. The components are stamped and welded with no consideration for turbulence or restrictions. This combined with 2 catalytic converters, causes the engine to be literally choked out of a good amount of power.
Introducing the RV6 Civic Si bellmouth downpipe for the 9[SUP]th[/SUP] generation Civic Si and 1[SUP]st[/SUP] generation ILX. The RV6 Civic Si bellmouth downpipe replaces the highly restrictive O.E pre-catalytic and secondary catalytic converters, with a free flowing contoured casting and 2.5” tubing. We also replaced O.E “Donut” style flex gasket with a high quality, full length flex pipe with internal Interlock liner, which will hold up against the worst engine deflections.
We only use the highest quality components from a trusted list of suppliers. The entire RV6 Civic Si bellmouth downpipe is made of high quality 304 stainless steel. Each weld is TIG welded and back purged for strength and purity by our experienced welders.
On a bone stock 2012 Civic Si Sedan we gained 13.3WHP and 11.5WTQ on a Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer. However we encourage independent testing. We are offering a refund of $120 to the first 5 purchasers of this product that post a high quality dyno plot (no cell phone pictures) clearly showing before and after dyno runs on the same plot of the HP, TQ and A/F. We will also need videos before and after the installation of this part.
This product will be offered in both catted and cat-less. On the catted design we use a 200 cell high flow metallic core. There is small amount of rasp with the cat-less version and the obvious smell outside of the vehicle of running cat-less. However the catted version is free of exhaust rasp and smell.
RV6 has been manufacturing performance precats replacements for the V6 Hondas for around 5 years now. Over that time, we have obtained much experience on how to make performance precats last. Precats are subjected to high temperatures and constant stresses from the deflection of the engine. Which unlike conventional headers that distribute the stresses between several runners, all of the stresses are concentrated in one area.
