Ebay, AliExpress, or you can do Ikonmotorsports. I bought mine from them. Takes a little modification, and paint, but you can order and pick up same day if you local to Southern California and are impatient like I am.

I've regretted buying the catless version of the RV6 pipe since about a week after installing mine a few years ago. Since you can't get a new one anymore, I got a generic one from Summit Racing. Not enough room to put it on the downpipe section, and I can't weld, so it went farther back. Seems to be holding pretty well so far with the clamps.

It's not optimal, but it's better than nothing and the exhaust note has lost its raspy quality.

I can't remember what muffler I had installed, it was some kind of perforated core magnaflow I think. Sounded great until the packing started to wear out, then the rasp came back. I stuffed a bunch of steel wool in and it was good again for another year. Might have to repack it again but seems fine at the moment with the cat on there.

Hi Doc, Where did you get your side mirrors from? I recently busted driver's side. Mine appears to be the same color as yours (White Orchid?).

Oh, I just now saw that yours is a 2018, where mine is 2016, so I guess the side blinkers must come with the newer models.

Coolant hose was a little short so I'm using the stock rail thing that is also attached to the breather hose or whatever it is. The breather line they provided is a larger diameter so I did use that. I'll eventually make it a cold air but need the hydro/dust sleeve first and time to install. I took a piece off the stock intake and have that flipped upside down (can probably spot it) to help direct air better. Definitely feel a loss of power in low end but it's more alive around 4k+

You can bypass the TB coolant line... It won't bring up any code... Did it to mine when I mounted the CR-V throttle body....

Mounted spacers on the rear so it has about 30mm more of rear track width, since they seem to have a narrower rear track width..... Or at least it looks like it 🤷🏽‍♂️🤔

*note.... Wrote wheelbase inatead of track width! And a fellow FITter corrected me! Thanks bro


15mm

Barely notice them

Did a little touch up painting to the drums...

8 lug nut FIT🤪

Final fitment... It sits as flush as the OEM front...
