Love the video. All your help is appreciated. Always great to see someone that makes a mistake tell others how not to. Was that the only nut you had to heat up?

@DanVilla7 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks appreciate it! I heated both lock nuts . The one I spoke about and the other one diagonal from it . It can be done with out heat but should let soak in penetrating oil for longer to ensure they don't snap.

@njmenaceify 13 күн бұрын

So would it be worth spraying and heating the nut to loosen it or just turn the whole nut/stud in one piece?

@DanVilla7 12 күн бұрын

I've seen some loosen them cold after spraying them with penetrating oil, as well as heating them. Kinda your call to be honest

@@DanVilla7 yea i saw that too. was thinking about just pulling the studs all the way out so i dont have to worry about snapping them. appreciate the reply bro

How did you get to the lower two bolts for the top end of the down pipe? We’re they easily accessible like the tops? Bottom seems very straight forward. Thanks in advance. 2022 2.0 Touring with 500 miles and got the ktuner and PRL HVI arriving today!

If you were to put a down pipe and a front pipe on a 2020 accord how much would you charge them ; the reason I’m asking is Bc I’m doing it for a customer and I don’t wanna over charger them

I'm not a mechanic so I wouldn't be able to tell you

@iiAzT3Cii 2 жыл бұрын

Azariah Alicea- My 2¢ but the fact that you’re on a “how to” video & asking how much to charge them to do the install tells me you’re not a mechanic. That said, do it for free with your friend instead of attempting it by yourself & charging them.

I'm about to install the rv6 downpipe and just wanted to make sure that the accord plug goes on the top since that hole is not used right?

@DanVilla7 2 жыл бұрын

If you have the factory turbo the o2 sensor goes in the same location as stock and leave the plug on top

It can be done with just penetrating oil, the longer you let the bolts soak the better. Yes should fit a 21 nothing engine wise has changed

im noticing slight rattle after the DP install. im guessing its the heat shied touching. It only happens at a stop with the AC and when the car reaches around 130+ iats FL weather. Are you experiencing anything like it?

@DanVilla7 3 жыл бұрын

I never got a rattle from the heat shield? Could it possibly be the notorious hood rattle?

@TR1_93 3 жыл бұрын

@@DanVilla7 its definitely the dp. it was the last thing installed. The rattle was worst at first when I left of the same exact bolt that you did. Everytime iats went near 130 with the a/c on it rattled bad. I somehow got the 4th bolt in which basically eliminated the rattle except for the minor rattle while in reverse when engine is very hot. Guess I gotta go in again and hammer that shield some more to fit the dp

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. I know it’s a different downpipe but it should be similar process

@DanVilla7 Жыл бұрын

Borla tends to be that way especially when adding a downpipe. Im afraid a tune will not help it. Your best bet is to add a resonator to it and it most likely wont be enough but will help

Any difference in power gains? Or is this mostly for sound?

@DanVilla7 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely this is a power adder and will put out roughly 23whp and 20 ft/lb. It's not really a sound mod especially for this car although it does change the sound and will be a little louder. Working on posting those videos as well. A downpipe is one of biggest bolt on power adders there is besides a different turbo.
