Trending Topics
you will be splitting hairs trying to compare them.
I would base my decision off of price and or customer service.
all of the latest and greatest ones are designed well and have stock like clearance.
my buddy bada$$vtec has the other one and is slammmed TO THE MUFUCKIN ground.
again; the purchasing factor would come down to customer service and price

Anything for you AL. What have you been up to?
Here is a quick RV6 crash course, this is rough draft that will eventually be added to the webpage. You can get more details on the rv6 website www.rv6-p.com
The order of exhaust components.
Heads (engine) > precats > Jpipe > 3rd cat > exhaust
Jpipe+3rd cat delete
The RV6 V3 jpipe is our latest design and has the best gains due to its 2.25" long runner design. It replaces both the factory jpipe and 3rd cat in one piece. No check engine lights are triggered since there are no sensors on the 3rd cat. It is recommended that you get the jpipe before PCDs or HFPCs.
Pros:
Good mid and high range gains
Replaces factory jpipe and 3rd cat in open piece
Bolts up no modifications needed
No obvious place for a 3rd cat.
Cons:
May not pass visual inspection in some states.
Precats
There are current 2 RV6 options for a precat replacement. These options are effective because Honda used a very restrictive precat design. They are made with stamped sheet metal to reduce cost and have a small 1.75" out.
Precat deletes or PCDs replace the factory precats with a straight pipe using smooth flowing castings a 2.25” outlet. Precat deletes include special adapters for the O2 sensors and do not throw a check engine light.
Pros:
Maximum performance gains
Low cost compared HFPCs
Cons:
Raspy exhaust
Exhaust smell
May not pass visual inspection
Requires an extra resonator for rasp free operation
High flow precats or HFPCs replaces the factory precats with high flow catalytic converters. They offer the best of compromise between performance and daily drivability. They are also paired with our smooth flowing castings 2.25” castings.
Pros:
No rasp
No exhaust smell
May pass visual inspection
Cons:
More expensive then PCDs
Slightly less power gains compared to PCDs

What kind of power difference is there between the HFPC's and the PCDs? Forgive the stupidity of this question, but under what circumstances is the exhaust smell smelled? I.E. While driving inside the cabin? Or just smellier exhaust on the outside?
Very excited to hear that none of this stuff will throw a check engine light! That's all Illinois checks for (since the last time I've tested).

or Florida, for that matter. 
Richie, I'm giddy, can't wait to see what you come up with. Please do get back to me on whether or not you'd like that set of oem tips to help shape etc, or even someone to volunteer to have whatever you make test fit (welded in) with reviews etc. I'd be glad to help out.
