I was wondering if the 2.0 downpipe could fit the 1.5, since I’ve ordered a 2.0 downpipe because I couldn’t find any down pipes for the 1.5 specifically.

@sdawgwolfe8371 5 ай бұрын

When reinstalling, if I were to use that plug where the stock primary sensor goes and instead install the primary onto the downpipe would that cause any problems? Any check engines/ rich lean codes? Reason I’m asking is I want to install the type r inlet and the o2 sensor would have to be moved where it is on the prl downpipe.

Yo boss hope you’re having a great day. I just installed my PRL catless downpipe & im also runic Borla Catback Exhaust with stock midpipe. For whatever reason, my setup sounds raspy do you have any idea what could cause that? Im currently untuned should be running Phearable Stage 3 later today I don’t know if that could help with sound.

@TheLemonFactor Жыл бұрын

I would imagine it’s from the catless down pipe and Borla exhaust. 🤔

Hope it makes that power u thought u felt. I want to see if my local tuner shop was correct. Also imo for the cost and time of this install, I would need a 15 whp gain

You know I don't like relying on the "butt dyno", including my own... let's see what our DynoJet session reveals. However, at this point, I'm not questioning myself as I drive it more. I certainly do not feel anything higher in the rev range like some people have claimed. We'll find out soon enough.

@tonyn6969 Жыл бұрын

For the O2 sensor that you plugged. Can you use that one and cap the original top location if you wanted to? Only asking because I have seen the issues where people were trying to install Type R inlet pipe but the top O2 sensor gets in the way and there was no way of installing the inlet pipe because of that issue.

@TheLemonFactor Жыл бұрын

I haven’t tried it / checked it out, but I’m surprised to hear that as the air inlet is in front of the O2 sensor, not above it 🤷‍♂️. I guess we’ll find out soon enough 😉

If I get the down pipe do I need any other mods to go with it like a new inter cooler? I have a Borla exhaust currently I want to get the down pipe I also want to tune my car as well. I know tunes are usually the way to go when you do a down pipe but do I need anything else

Installing a downpipe is not dependent upon any other mod 👍. With that said, have you checked out the video in which I dyno tested the downpipe?

So I’ve been watching some videos because I want to upgrade my dp and inlet during one install. Would you suggest getting the turbo and dp blanket instead of messing with the heat shield ?

I'm with you, the fact that they haven't posted any quoted gains definitely is a "tell" to me. How does your sound given that you have the front pipe as well? Except for WOT, I don't notice any difference in exhaust sound.

hey. Need some advice! My Accord is FBO with PRL Catted downpipe also. I need to get my car smog checked this year, And I will be installing in FL5 CTR Turbo in about a week, Aslo im tuned by D rob also right now. I know with the tune I wont pass smog, as I checked the Cars Monitors with a scanner and it says the 02 Sensor is not ready. So I'm wondering after i get my FL5 Turbo installed, and when the time comes, Can I flash back to stock, and just drive easy to get to the smog check then flash it back.? There's another guy i'm following. He had a downpipe and the usual bolt ons. he flashed back to stock, and took about 100mi for the CEL to come on. I don't half to go that far to get my car checked. you thnk that will work with the new turbo? or am i screwed? LOL.

@TheLemonFactor 5 ай бұрын

It’ll depend on how your state tests. If it’s simply a tailpipe snif test, or an OBD read of codes as well. I don’t have any direct experience with this car as it’s still too new to require it 🤷‍♂️

@Gazi - on an otherwise stock exhaust it did not make it louder under “normal” driving. However, under WOT it does give more of a growl, which quickly goes away when you let off the gas.

From what I've seen a full front-pipe back exhaust doesn't produce any meaningful gains on this platform.

I’ve driven it with catless only and with front pipe and catback. It may not show any gains or little gains but you will be faster on top end. What I’m saying that is you will see the whp line hold better power though out on higher rpm than a big drop.
