These have been tested to work without throwing a CEL?

I would like to pick up the high flow cat version of this when available. I already have the p2r secondary pipe, and will need a cat in the path.

The PCD is in final testing to ensure no CEL's, so far so good. The P2R pipe will not be compatible with the RV6 PCD. Development of the high flow cat option is on hold right now since they moved to a new bigger location and are currently setting up the shop again. Development of the HF CAT should go quick since it's a simple part.

So if you have the p2r pipe this will throw a CEL?

Due to the design of the PCD, you wont be able have both physically installed at the same time. Not sure if I can legally say more...

Its either one or the other. If you have the RV6 PCD installed, you cannot have the p2r pipe installed. If you have the p2r pipe installed, you cannot have the RV6 PCD installed. You cannot have both pipes installed at the same time. Did I clear everything up?

That's a total bummer! I just installed the P2R pipe recently and was hoping for a freeflow exhaust (no cats)

For the RV6 PCD, there will be options to keep the secondary CAT, replace it with the High Flow CAT, or have just a straight pipe. Not sure what options will be available when the PCD is released since it all depends on getting the shop set back up after their move.

Well, I need to get my stock pipe back from that other vendor then, as I want to free up the flow closer to the head, which I think is a bigger choke point.

If all works out ok, I'll have a p2r pipe for sell I suppose. ??

Yup, you will get a CEL and a black hole will open up on your dash and swallow the entire car...

It is not about getting a CEL. There is no way to bolt up both at the same time. Sorry I cant post a pic of it, the pic would show it clearly. I guess you could say that the RV6 PCD will functionally take the place of the p2r pipe.

Testing is taking awhile since the Primary 02 sensor is mounted to the top of the precat and the secondary 02 sensor is mounted right after the precat to measure the exhaust gas. RV6 is fine tuning the PCD geometry in order to prevent the car from throwning CEL's. The secondary CAT that the p2r got rid of is there only to obtain the ULEV rating.

Just a small PCD teaser:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_JxrTy_Y5g

Taken with my phone so sound quality is so-so. Quality is a bit better when going to 720p. It sounds super loud in the vid, but I think its cuz of the garage.

Since there are no pics of this, shall I assume that the PCD is a full catless downpipe that elminates the main and secondary cat? If so, I guess I need to sell my P2R pipe.

At launch, the only option that will be available is the delete the primary CAT aka pre-cat (PCD - Pre Cat Delete). You will still need the secondary CAT to fit everything up.

You will have the option of replacing the secondary CAT with either a High Flow CAT or Test Pipe (test pipe will give you a full catless exhaust ). The options development has been put on hold due to the RV6 shop move/upgrade, but they'll probably be able to design those parts quick since they're fairly simple.

I think RV6 wants to do it this way to give customers options on how they want to customize their exhaust or to make swapping CAT, High Flow CAT, Test Pipe easily for track days or emissions.

i just want to know 2 things:

1. will it pass CA emission (visual and non visual)
2. any changes to how the exhaust will sound? hopefully it will sound badass instead of raspy ?

Confucious say 'confused'? If this is desigend to work with the seconday cat in place (which is a donut gasket) why would this not work with the P2R pipe, which is also a donut gasket?

The donut has been removed, basically it goes head > flex pipe > secondary cat. I don't want to release the design yet unit production is further along. I am shooting for around black friday.

I would wait for the RV6 pipe since it eliminates the pre-cat which the P2R pipe doesn't. The RV6 pipe also gives you more flexibility to customize your exhaust too.
