Rv6 review

So I installed my rv6 cat back and high flow cat and I'm kinda disappointed. It has a really nice sound. It's a deep tone but definitly not loud at all. I really didn't notice anymore power just a little smoother power band.

Usually exhausts and intakes and tb spacers are not going to get you much, if anything at all. However if you get pcd's, and a jpipe to match that I promise you you'll feel it but the question is are you willing to drop another $700-800 for the jpipe and pcd's? Note the power band for AT is not really noticeable from 2k-3.5k

Get the RV6 v3 j-pipe and I assure you will notice gains. I have stock exhaust with the v3 j-pipe and the butt dyno could feel it, I can only imagine how it would be paired up with the rv6 catback.

I know what you mean. I had a mid muffler delete which changed the noise levels dramatically, but didnt feel anything (i shouldnt anyway with just a midmuffler) and got it reversed the same day.

really? I did the mid muffler delete and changed the res to dynomax in one shot and was super happy with the sound. Since then I've added just the Jpipe and I can say I felt it make the car move faster and sounds super aggressive. Perfect for me...

I was thinking that but the pics off the car look pretty decent, maybe the angle of the pic.

You are right, don't take the resonator off!! Still add on the HPCD's and J-Pipe, should sound nice and some MOAR pull!!

rv6 jpipe (deletes last muffler)>dynomax res>mid muffler delete is pure perfection, to me.
I don't like loud exhausts though...it sounds aggressive...has slight rasp at 4k when cold...but sounds like an exotic car when warm. (had many people tell me this). Maybe they were being nice.

looks great. I just wanted to confirm something, are those dual tip mufflers fitting on a base bumper?????????? if yes, I need to get a pair those.

Does RV6 sells just mufflers????? I guess I can ask them.

Yes they fit on the stock rear bumper. I do not know if he sells them seperatly. The piping is really were your power and sound come from. I don't think the mufflers would do much for you

I already have RV6 PCD, XLR8 jpipe, ATLP race pipe and custom SS 2.5" catback, I just want the quad mufflers............ I want to go quieter, My muffler tips are 4" which I don't like.
