FL5 TYPE R / DE5 TYPE S - POWER MODS | RV6 Downpipe | Episode 5

The power increases have begun boys! Shout out to RV6 Performance on this one. We installed their catted down pipe, ceramic coated in silver to help to keep the 🔥 inside and away from the rest of the engine.
It definitely made a difference in the exhaust note and butt dyno approved. No tune necessary, but you can count on that it's coming soon!

Got mine here in PR back in November. Enjoy it! Definitely following this series!

Very nice! Finally some good Type R content!

[@accoRding2Joel]

Thanks for the nice words brother!

[@wtam1100]

Very similar to FK8 DP install but slightly easier since u don't have to remove the intake n all that piping. Sounds nice

[@accoRding2Joel]

Agreed!

They sure don't

Joel, you should've made a video about the install of that reat strut bar. I've always wondered how it's done.

[@accoRding2Joel]

I actually have footage of it! I'll make it just for you

I like the rear strut bar! Old school 😅. Good job papi 😙

Little by little!

I actually like that it's not too loud still. Do you notice any faster spool or throttle pick up with this compared to oem?

[@accoRding2Joel]

Same! Not that I can tell on the spool or throttle

[@nickc5341]

Nice. Is the dp catless? Heard catless is the only way to make any worthwhile gains as the catted one didn't show much gain on the dyno with the accord. I wanna install one on my accord next year when I upgrade the turbo.

[@accoRding2Joel]

Catted because of the EPA

[@speedisf]

Great job

[@accoRding2Joel]

Thank you bro!

[@A_guan]

I've always been scared to do downpipe because of those 3 bolts that you gotta spray wd40 or pb blaster with near the turbo. Did you just spray it and immediately start taking the bolts off or did you spray some before and waited a bit before working on it? Also I'm assuming the O2 sensors just have a simple plug you pull and then you just unscrew them from the dp?

[@accoRding2Joel]

I've done maybe 5 or 6 of these already. The first I did I snapped, cold car and no prep. After that I learned heat is your friend. To be safe you can put a torch on it for a minute and then do it right away. But I've found with the car hot (full operating temp) and some WD40 right at the time of trying....that's all you need

[@XOX-fs4ww]

​@accoRding2Joel thanks for the operating temp tip.

[@accoRding2Joel]

Absolutely!

[@akim24]

How'd you decide on the RV6 instead of another brand?

[@accoRding2Joel]

I had it on my Accord 2.0t and I loved it

[@iapplezray2660]

Is this stock exhaust with just replacing down pipe?

[@accoRding2Joel]

Correct

[@rickeybradley2635]

Should have done a before and after bro.

[@accoRding2Joel]

There's a bunch of videos on the stock exhaust, there would be no point in adding to that I thought?

[@rickeybradley2635]

@According To Joel I have a FL5 myself, looking forward to some exhaust options.
