To be honest I haven't looked into the 10-12 I know the mid pipes are the same I think just the tips are different. I captured the bend data from the 07 we had in here. I will see what we can come up with in Solidworks. First lets see how this downpipe does. A exhaust is a much larger commitment.

The ceramic is a pretty good thermal barrier and should keep your engine bay temps cooler. It is not required however.

Not to jump the gun or anything, but how long till you stay production on the intercooler? And will it be able to be bolted on directly onto factory areas or would it need further mods to install?

Production won't start for a few months. Most likely around tax return time. We are planing to have everything bolt up.

I have an ATLP exhaust (2.5" OD - I believe). If your D/P w/ideal high flow CAT configuration fits the ATLP exhaust, then, add me to the group-buy list, please. Please notify when you have stats on ceramic vs/non-ceramic coating. Thanks!

I didn't realize ATLP made a exhaust. It looks pretty good. We have pricing for the ceramic coating on our website.

Yeah we have a very nice system for the RDX. Actually have a few in stock at the moment as well. Careful with a 3" system though...it can get pretty loud pretty fast. That being said, we've been considering a 2 3/4" front pipe upgrade option to the ATLP kit for those looking for power over luxury.


Also, we have added these sweet new RV6 items to www.heeltoeauto.com. Just need some better pics and inventory.

I think I have been convinced to go no cat if it will not trigger a CEL.

Like the idea of the ceramic coating!

I have a custom 3" exhaust that connects to what looks like the same 3 bolt connector plate seen in the pictures, I just need to make sure I can link it up.

I have a 2012 model, I am hoping the fitment is the same...it should be.

I reviewed your site, the product looks great! Is your solution compatible with ATLP, I'm a bit confused. Mr. Heeltoe, thoughts? Thanks, in advance.

after going through checkout it would seem as though mine cat no coating will cost $747.48 shipped to my door? and there seems to be no discount code for price or shipping.?.

is this something you can PM us for a group buy discount? or should we let Marcus at HT be the middle man for us?

Awesome, I see no need for 2 exhausts in such a small market. That is great to know you will take some stock. This part is expensive to make if I could make 10 or more at once that would reduce overall cost.

It should compatible with any aftermarket exhaust based off the stock exhaust.

I will work out the details and start a official post when we return from SEMA. I am sure there will be a discount. We were getting a bunch of calls, and emails about how to buy the product so we added it to the website for reference. For those that paid already we will refund any difference in price before shipping. No worries guys this part will come to market and isn't vaporware. We were just overwhelmed with the calls and emails.

so I installed the down pipe. there is a huge difference in power and also the delivery of the power. as far as installation goes your best bet is to cut the inlet off of the stock cat then it will come out without nearly so much cursing and bleeding ( lots of unfinished edges in there ) if this isn't an option get a shop to do it for you and get a flat fee up front from them. it took me 6+ hours for removal. once it was all apart it was a cake walk ( 2 1/2 hours ) to bolt every thing back in .
