My RV6 Downpipe comes on wednesday, and my custom intake should be here by the end of the week. Lets hope for more performance mods! I'm thinking of getting the car tuned but don't want to ruin the turbo warranty with only 700 miles.
I checked with my local Acura, bolt-on's are okay with it, they even offered to install it for me.
Just received the Downpipe!
From reading on some of the accord 2.0T gains, this should be around the 15-20+ wHP. Hopefully, might get it dyno'd at my local tuner. This car is already fun, i can only imagine with some tuning and parts! so excited!
Still waiting on my intake, from the engine it seems i have to take out the intake tube for the downpipe so i want to knock off both at the same time.

wow that surprises me, looks like an awesome part, let us know how it goes
This is really interesting! Could you please do a sound comparison video of in car (idle, normal acceleration and hard acceleration) also would you mind sharing the source, cost and install cost?
Did you get a check engine light after or currently have it on. I’m a master Techncian for Acura so I know what I’m doing when installing it. Just keep getting second oxygen sensor codes since down pipe was installed. Trying to see if you had the issue. Rv-6 said had no problems with any they knew of.

If it was a catless one you installed, even with a defouler there is always chance of tripping the o2 code. Hopefully hondata or ktuner develop an application so we can disable it altogether
Ya I know. Just wanted to see if you are having the same problem. My also has the catalytic converter and the defouler that comes with it. I know hondata released a reflash but they haven’t created one for any modified ones. Kind of waiting don’t really want a tuner that has not messed with one here practice on my car.

Im not the OP of this thread, i did check out hondata for the reflash you noted and it turns out its actually a flashpro they released. You could just run a stage 1 or 2 basemap tune and turn off the secondary o2 without getting a full custom tune. A good honda tuner should be pretty familiar with these motors as I am sure you know the type r and accord 2.0 share the same foundation.
Damn shame my sister leased her RDX, I'd get this for her for her birthday xD
Mitsubishi good I like the way it sounds. I also installed a prl intercooler then I got ktunner flash. Like the power gain. Just have to dealer with the light coming on every 100 miles. I just have to email ktunner and they will help me shut off bank 2 oxygen sensor.
Having a down pipe and intake could also void your warranty...
In a Consumer Alert issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the agency confirmed that “The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty simply because you used an aftermarket part.”
so i just joined today, got my 2020 rdx aspec this past Monday and im really interested on performance mods....i know this is a old thread but any updates or vids?
