Just wanted to inform folks that have been running the RT Cat for a while (+2 yrs), my NAPA gaskets finally gave out and I had a leak. Evidence was a slight sound of an exhaust leak as well as soot like marks on the aluminum heat shield. My leak was on the top to driver's side of the connection.

I have noticed the leak for about 2 weeks now and I finally had time to address it. I disconnected the cat from my Comptech cat back exhaust and had to scrape the area clean. I then just reattached the two together and put the mother hurt of torque on the bolts (probably only 100 ft lbs). Started it up and no leaking. I will probably put new NAPA gaskets on there at some point, but for now, I'm done.


FYI, I have the Hondata reflash and I was able to freely rev above 4500 rpms (it was an accident) as I was expecting it to stop at 4500, which isn't possible as I recall on the OEM program. So I might have found a quasi easter egg with the reflash, not that it is a good one to do. Can someone confirm on the OEM ECU that you can rev above 4500 rpm?

 

thanks for the info, i'll be sure to inspect my setup soon
