damn still no dyno yet?

 

Everybodys slacking... my custom exhaust is a taking forever and I don't wanna dyno til after that.

 

What you've all been waiting to read!

08 TL Type - S

Power Gains from RV6 Pre-Cat Deletes
20.70 whp / 14.17 wtq


thats like just $11 per 1 whp... cant get any better than!!!!

 

damn.....! =O

did you smell anything like what other members were saying?

 

Has anyone installed these with a stock catback exhaust. Would love to have the extra power w/o the extra noise.

 

^ But you have the Greddy! I will have these installed before my catback is ready.

 

Because if all of the aftermarket catbacks are going to be that much louder, than I'm want to go back stock. My only reason for upgrading was for power on top end. Now that I know it does produce more power, I want to go with an alternative to keep the tone as close to stock as possible. You don't know how much I miss my stock exhaust note.

 

You wanna trade your Evo2 for a CT?

 

i had the pre cats, j-pipe and race pipe to the stock type-s exhaust and it was very minimal in noise as compared to now having a full exhaust system. The smell is there even with the stock exhaust on, but with a full exhaust the smell is so much more noticeable but i like that smell of burnt fuel.

 

Why? Do you have one?


What about the power difference before putting the aftermarket catback on?

 

when installing the pre cats, j-pipe, and race pipe on stock exhaust, what does this mean for your stock exhaust, does it need to be chopped up or does it un-bolt??? thankss

 

everything on this car is pretty much bolt-on, bolt-off... no breaking up your old exhaust at all... everything can be turned back to stock

 

perfect, just wanna make sure that I can turn the exhaust back to stock if I have to (warranty) thank you.

 

i wouldnt worry about that too much... how likely is it, that a cat back exhaust will a) even give you any troubles and b) that the dealer can find a reason to null/void a warranty on anything in the car because of an exhaust...

 

Flanges FTW!

Dealerships are tricky bastards... if they wanted to void your warranty, they'd make up some BS. Good thing there still are honest dealerships out there.

 

To all with the deletes, did you get a reduced in low end power? I want to get these, but I'm worried about drivability.

 

I felt no drop at all and I went from procats to no cats... zero traction in first

 

^

HELL F****ING YEA!! VSA on or off... dont matter... my car tears first gear apart.... i LOVE it... just tonight i blew apart a turbo DC1... the light turned red and the two of us just tore up front tires..neither of us could get traction

 

I've been practicing brake torque'n, definitely works pretty good, been launching at 2k rpms minimal slippage, but not the fastest launch

Tried launching w/ vsa on, but it is pointless since it is unpredictable

 

That's going to get you nowhere fast lol.

 

^ lol... its so true though... everytime im at a red light with somebody revving their engine, i never know which method of launching will give me the best... i think brake tq'ing is smartest idea....

but not to get too off topic.. so.... PRE-CATS ARE THE SH*T !!!!! Yay Richiev6 !!

 

Just installed them last night along with mounts, coilovers, and rotors/pads...lol. As of now I am catless and the smell is "different" lol. Lotta fumes but I plan on doing somethin' with the 3rd cat sooner or later. Gains are very noticable...great product..

 

just got mine done, is there any reason why there is a loud hissing sound, like today i was playing around and i hit vtec in second and then in third i went up to about 4 grand and then let off, then my car starts making this hissing sound like its letting out a whole bunch of air. what is it?

 

Most likely a leak. Have somebody get under the car while you rev it.

 

thanks ill get to that first thing in the morning.

 

BTW, did you use the new gaskets it came with? or did you reuse the ones already on there?

 

Has anyone installed the pre cats with a S/C??? my set up is ATLP j-pipe,ATLP Race Pipe, Greddy EVO2 Exhaust, p2r spacer, And Comptech Supercharger, with CAI..... Am also thinking bout getting the precats...Does it smell like new exhaust???? or does it stink that u cant stand??? Thank

 

Cuba, installer did not line up the flanges between the precats and jpipe that surely causes hissing

Escobar, I tried installing wit an s/c, the elbow definitely has to be removed

 

i didnt do install, shop did i just gave them a call and im gonna leave my car with them tomorrow, the ac wasnt working either it just kept blowing out hot air, is that related? or no? also what should i tell them to look for when i drop it off to fix that hissing.

 

if you ac is not working, that can't be good, mine only blows hot air thru the vents when it is powered on left on high and then turned off again, I get cool breeze thru my vents when left on low and powered off

the hissing is most likely caused by improper installation of the jpipe to the precats, also make sure they installed the delete with the flex pipe in the rear and not the front

I am pretty local to you come out to the westchester meet next sunday and I will take a look at it

 

thanks, yeah ill be there next week hopefully its fixed by then.

 

quick question i bought my pre deletes and getting them installed tomorrow...but i bought them used so they dnt have the gaskets where they meet up at the j pipe.... i have richie j pipe on the car already for about 4 months and prob 4000 miles can i reused those gaskets or do i need new ones?... hope this makes sense

 

word should i tell them to put the oem ones back on or use the r-v6
ones?

 

I got a ton of them so if you need some you should come pick some up

you need 2 x 4 bolt gaskets, 2 x 3 bolt gaskets, and also need the other 3 bolt gasket for the jpipe because anytime you uninstall you should replace the gasket

 

^where you gonna b at tomorrow?

 

prob gonna install richie test pipe tomorrow to but i have the gaskets for that i bought it brand new... cant wait

 

^wash my car tomorrow, milk man.

keep us posted on the install tomorrow.
