I DO NOT OWN THE MUSIC
Awesome, thanks for the content! :)
PRL Motorsports no problem appreciate the amazing product!
Just did mine yesterday. Definitely louder! It also helped with a decent increase in power.
where u get it can't find it
@@fc1willcatless downpipes are illegal to selll now. You can only get high flow cats
@@johnfredericks8438👋🤨❌ is this only in Canada ❓❓
@@eurekaakerue4649 no. In Canada I heard you can’t have ANY downpipes shipped to that state at all. But for the rest of US, I’ve been seeing a few catless options start to pop back up lately, go google it see what you can find
I have this same setup on my 1.5 Accord sport 2018 except I’m full turbo a kid straightpiped with no resonater and a full 2.5 inch exhaust. It’s crazy loud and I love it my car is insanely fast with the intercooler, ktuner and some other mods I’m at around 300hp.
TheRealTruman sick af
Is the car still alive?
@@meower6303 I hope so :)
Dang that downpipe made a huge difference
Yea it was well worth it!
Wtf, do you have a 10th gen too @tactical toolbox? Lol
Tactical Toolbox wow! Good to see you on this side of TH-cam! Especially commenting lol 😎
Man, i watched this first and I knew that I was missing out on your channel. Love the vid bro.
Jastin Dilla really appreciate it that bro, thank you!!
I'm gonna watch this channel grow, that's for sure. Love it bro!❤😅
I had to download all the fd2 content just because you have my dream car. Sick as hell.🤩
Jastin Dilla that’s awesome thanks! 😁🙏🏼
This video was equally informational as it was hilarious 😂
chris pignotti lmao I’m happy you enjoyed it
Sub'd! Love the channel. I just bought a 2020 Si so your vids will be very useful! Already ordered a Greddy exhaust
Rooster 7six awesome! I’m happy your enjoying it! Thanks for subscribing!!
again, very nice and helpful videos! will go prl dp/fp too. excited for the cobra cai install with the winshield washer relocation kit from prl as well
Thanks buddy!! Hoping to have it sometime soon ;)
Soon as you said princess auto I subbed lol wondering why I haven't come across you channel before 👊🏾
Eljay Ovo thanks a lot for the sub!! 😁
Would this fit to a MAPerformance Race exhaust? Love the videos bro thank God we have a channel like yours to serve as a guideline. Very appreciative
Yes it should! Appreciate the comment thank you!
Yea I have it on the MAPerformance street exhaust.
Great content and instructions on how to install the Downpipe and front pipe 🔥, i wanted to ask how to disable the o2 sensor on Ktuner v2?
Question do you need the new turbo gasket and the tabs for OEM heat shield?? Please answer me
Have you had any fitment issues with the front pipe? I’ve seen a few wherein the front pipe was pretty close to the oil pan.
Never had any fitment issues, mine was absolutely perfect
Freaking hell that sounds good! This will be my next investment since I already have a k tuner with the tsp stage 1 turn on my 2019 Honda Civic EX 1.5 Turbo. After that I'm considering getting a new intercooler cuz I'm afraid of heat soak and I don't like the high temperatures of the exhaust going back into the engine. Then eventually I will wrap things up with a Cat-Back exhaust and I should be pretty good to go. I don't think I'm going to get an ethanol conversion kit. But I guess Never Say Never
15:21 🔥
You’re not worried about the downpipe not having a heat shield? My PRL front pipe and downpipe just came in and I wanted to know if it will be an issue to drive the car without the heat shield on the downpipe
I’ve been personally driving without it but having definitely helps keep it clean
Once I saw that Zum bus I laughed haha. Supporting over from Georgetown brotha
Lmao thanks brother!
If you don’t disable the check engine from the downpipe is it going to do anything to the car ?
You only need to take out the two middle screws to get the skid plate off.
Good video bro,subscribed and hope to see more
Thanks!! More shall come!
Late comment: did you use a regular rench to do all top bolts of down pipe?? It seems like a tight reach
Yes I did!
Excuse me and that pipe does not affect you when the car passes by SMOG ?
new in the channel love your vids man! im also new to 10th gen community. so what tune do you need after intsalling your prl intake and prl dp + frontpipe?
Hey thanks for subscribing! Look into the Two Step Performance tune. I’ve had it for a couple years without issue.
Chris Lowpes and how much power you making if you dont mind me asking? idk if you dyno your car already , just curious
Led TiBi honestly I haven’t put it on a dyno but roughly 230-240hp and 240-260 tq
This is great lol! Good stuff bro
MikeMcflyy thanks a lot bro!!
This comment has nothing to do with the FP/DP. Just wanted to say everytime I see a video of a new Si from Canada it reminds me of how jealous I am of our neighbors to the north that you guys get the LED headlights and we're stuck with the halogens with just LED daytime running lights.
Marc Schubert lol honestly it was one of my favourite things on the car!
Check out the 2020 Si.....LED’s and a facelift
Good video bro keep it up!
TTorres1183 appreciate it bro! Been following your build for a while, keep up the great work!
Is it true u need to tune your car for a down pipe install, i have a honda civic sport touring 2020
Will the CEL still come back on if something else is wrong with the car tho? Or does ktuner fully disables it?
Yes it will, in ktuner you only disable the cat codes.
What mods did you have when you noticed your clutch slipping? I have a prl race cobra cai and ktuner with phearable stage 1.5. I haven’t noticed anything yet but I am looking to upgrade to catless down pipe but I am kinda worried lol
Mine started slipping bad once I was full bolt ons, I noticed minor slipping in higher gears at lower rpms after the TSP tune and catless downpipe
@@ChrisLowpes thanks man
this remains in the original exhaust
Do u need a tune? After installing them?
I’m getting catted front pipe from prl will it throw a code I heard it does by chance?
Do I need to put a heat shield or anything over it to avoid heat soaking even more?
Can you do a tutorial in how to delete engine/emissions light from a Ktuner.
Hello, could you help me, I put my downpipe on my honda and now I have the light on
Just got an 2019 Si. have you raced any v6s ? how does the Si hold with them or even other 4 cylinder turbo cars
Alex Corral only car I’ve raced was a 2007 Tl Type S and it’s a very close race but this was before the downpipe and front pipe
@@ChrisLowpes These little 1.5T's are quite impressive and can definitely hurt some feelings. Some of our employees have had some fun in the Si toying with some larger displacement vehicles (All closed course ;) )
PRL Motorsports oh I believe it! I can’t wait to do the Cobra CAI and the PRL intercooler and get a proper tune
PRL Motorsports got my si about a week ago. I was shook on how fast a civic can be. this is definitely a different breed. Can’t wait to get my PRL intake & tune soon !
Sounds good man!! 👌
djcostamized thanks bro!
LOWPES!!!! What’s your wheel setup? They look like rpf1’s what size you got?
username username they are RPF1’s and they are 17x8+35
Im doing this tomorrow man cant wait ! I was straight pipe but cops pulled me so i put back a magnaflow not bery lood as straight but i guess with Dp Fp sound will be loud
TheOnlineGam4r yea it’s a little to loud now for my likings. I’m looking into exhausts and manga flow is on my list!
I only bought magnaflow exhaust but in near futur ill change my full line
I bought invidia N1 🔥
TheOnlineGam4r nice bro! Congrats!!
Have a reflash on my car , do you need a tune when you put prl fp dp ?
You say you had muffler delete. Did you also have a resonator delete or did you keep that?
I kept my resonator!
What’s the best blow off valve for a 10th gen civic si
Is it less noise with front pipe and performance?
Got a question . After you installed your kraftwerks supercharger in your 9th gen . Hondata does not come with a basemap for the kit . Kinda wierd I have the same problem . What was your solution ?
amatbox27 I had a friend of mine give me his map so I can drive it to the tuner safely. Most people tow the car.
@@ChrisLowpes you still have a copy of the map ?
amatbox27 I believe. Message me on Instagram Chris.Lowpes
@@ChrisLowpes sent . Thank you kindly . Appreciate it.
Sorry for the dumb question iam getting into cars and dont know alot should the front pipe and downpipe be install together or can one be installed before the other?
I would recommend doing both at the same time
Chris Lowpes thank you so much brother 🙏🏼 also really like your built amd your channel
Yan Garcia not a problem and thanks!!
Would the car stay quiet if you did the front pipe/down pipe but left the muffler on? Also, would leaving the muffler on be restrictive and not allow for a better tune?
Lukeamania yes it would much more quiet! The OEM exhaust is supposed to be half decent so having the mufflers on won’t make you loose power. Removing the exhaust you shed more wait than anything!
@@ChrisLowpes Awesome thank you for clearing that up. I want to get a new Civic Si and although I do like loud exhaust, I want maximum performance but without waking the dead lol. I'll leave that to my Harley.
I feel like an idiot for not thinking of using the handle from my jack as a breaker bar this whole time.
Do you have a link for the downpipe and front pipe?
Hey man love your stuff definitely the next tj hunt overheard you say that to Robbie i met you outside of the show when you first showed up
shit box garage really appreciate that man!!! It was nice meeting you dude!
When u get it inspected are you just gonna put the old cars back ?
Vlads Type S yea if it ever happens I will have to
How’s the clutch after the reflash and downpipe ? Are you still on stock clutch
Anthony koch I’ve had no issues yet luckily
Awesome content👍
Bro buy a o2 spacer of Amazon works amazing I did the same on my mk6 gti full straight pipe no check engine
Anthony koch thanks buddy!
Anthony koch good to know I’ll check it out for sure!
Did you still put the heat shield back on the front pipe?
Nope because mine was all bent
Is that o2 remover really necessary? Can't you remove it with an adjustable wrench?
Yea you can
@@ChrisLowpes Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed my o2 sensor on my 9th gen accord using an adjustable wrench. Just wondering if there was a difference
"Might end up doing" 🤣🤣🤣 the guy in the back
Hey, I’m planning on getting this dp+fp for mine but what if instead of muffler delete, I kept the stock muffler and did a resonator delete instead? Would it be too raspy or would it still have a nice tone
You may get some rasp but I’m not entirely sure as I’ve never heard one without it.
What tune do you have to do after installing dpfp?
Can I take off the engine light through Hondata?
Yes
With adding the front and down pipe did you need a tune right away ?
You don’t need a tune right away but I’d recommend it
prl work with the original factory muffler?
I just ordered the RV6 Catted downpipe. Anyone know if it's a guarantee I'll be getting a check engine light? I've heard definitely yes and definitely no. Anyone actually know?
I just got my fc1 and I was wondering if this is the race or street version?
This is the race version
@@ChrisLowpes thank you so much bro love your vids. Gonna help me put in the future. Keep it up!
Tpango 1 really appreciate you watching, thanks dude!!
If I was to replace just the down pipe, would it fit to the stock front pipe?
Please anyone give the answer. I have the same question here.
Hey i have a question. Can i just install downpipe and frontpipe without catback?
Yes you can, I had that set up for a while
Wish cali would get rid of emissions man
hi ... does it make sense to buy only a frontpipe? car better sound stock exhaust?
Get an AWE exhaust. They come with the 3" front pipe. Got the touring edition for my '20 Si & it sounds great. Super low & bassy tone
Who wants to see more pulls!!! Subscribe for more videos!!
I might do this
Do you have any exhaust recommendations to pair with these set of PRLs?
Tons of great ones on the market. I went with invidia because I like a quieter exhaust but I’ve heard great things about AWE
Can you smell fumes with the non catted version?
Yes
nice, wish I had a lawnmower that big...😭😍
hex 23 I’m sooo lucky 😂
I installed the Catted PRL downpipe and front pipe on my 10th gen EX sounds amazing with magnaflow catback exhaust system, was wondering if Hondata or ktuner will remove the CEL and ever since I installed my remote start doesn’t work my car start for like a second and shuts off anyone having or had this problem?
Yes tuning managements can remove the cel and as for the other problem, I haven’t personally experienced anything like that.
@@ChrisLowpes thanks for the fast reply i was reading on a forum says its a common problem wonder why it’s been going on tho
would the install be the same on the civic sport hatch?
yes
Hey bro whered you get the type r steering wheel? Newmarket Honda says they can't get me one cause Honda Canada won't release it without a type r VIN.
Sean hey man! I got it from a buddy of mine but I believe garage16.ca has them
@@ChrisLowpes thanks bro didn't know about garage 16! Looks like I'm making a trip to mississauga after work tomorrow lol
@@ChrisLowpes also man I know this is kinda ridiculous, but next time you put the car up on Jacks could you make a video of how you did it safely?
Sean no problem man, make sure to give them a call before going to make sure they have it in stock!
Sean yea of course I’ll try remembering on my next video!
This is race or street version?
Akkhara Paurohit this is the race version
Is there anything I should do before downpiping??
Definitely a rear motor mount and ktuner
Do you know if this install would be any different on the hatchback sport ?
Troy Higgins I’m not 100% but it should be similar. I haven’t looked into it sorry
Not the spoon breaker bar 😂
Lmao
How is the drone
How much for both pipes ?
Do you have a clutch ? Does it slip ? I just installed my prl
Scott King nope it’s a oem clutch without slip
@@ChrisLowpes is your car tuned in this vid how did u do the 2 step and how do you not have rev hang at all😂
@@tylerMRDX yea I have Ktuner with a TSP tune I believe at this time.
Does it smell a lot
Do you have adjust the tune after this install currently on tsp stage 1 tune
No I didn’t have to change anything
Catless or catted. If it is catless how bad is the smell.
I’m either used to it or have a bad sense of smell since I barley smell nothing 😂
@8:56 lmao your homie is a troll 😂
Abae sigma lmao he wouldn’t be my homie if he didn’t 😂
Would this fit on a stock exhausr
Yes my exhaust was stock when I did it
Anyone have a problem with the front pipe rubbing on the heat shields?
Is this a street or race version?
This is the race version
Did u tune it after installing it?
Carlo Cruz I have the TSP stage 1 tune
It threw some code after you installed it?
Carlo Cruz yea I have a code because I’m catless. I need to install a defouler
@@ChrisLowpes ok i bought a frontpipe only. And do u know if this one needs to be tune or will it throw a code if its only frontpipe?
New subscriber here
Did you experience any smell?
Yes I did, I’ve driven catless for years so I’m used to it
How bad was the smell when you were revving it? And will the smell ever go away?
GOT RICE honestly I don’t think it’s that bad and if it bothers you just open a window a bit. Smell will always come and go because of the catless downpipe
So you can still smell it from the inside even when the windows are up?
GOT RICE I only really smell it when I start the car up and start driving aggressively but it’s not that bad in my opinion
sorry bro, dont like how it sounds. Great content though. Have seen older videos from you with the 8th gen; that one sounded great :)
charliedontsurf79 appreciate the comment man, yea the sound of it is subjective. Hopefully after an exhaust it sounds a little different
yeah with muffler delete it sounds straight trash like an old ricemobile
Art Vandelay yea the low and mid range is good in my books top end gets to raspy. I’m looking into exhausts as we speak!
@@ChrisLowpes what exhaust did you end up putting on
Jonathan Sidhu videos coming out this Saturday!!
Are those 17" wheels?
bob smith yes they are. 17x8+35
Is it the race or street ?
Luigi Touchette this is the race version
@@ChrisLowpes thanks !🙏
show us the new wheels already!
Cray Cray it will be coming in next couple videos 😁
Is the code cause of downpipe or the front pipe?
Its from the downpipe not being catted
@@ChrisLowpes You may also experience a CEL on the catted/Street downpipe as well. We suggest a tuner for both units. :)
PRL Motorsports that’s good to know thank you!
PRL Motorsports if I get the catted downpipe frontpipe do I have to tune?
@@BradenWiseman We recommend you have an engine management system on your car, even with the street version you are likely to throw a P0420 code. These products do not "require" a tune, the vehicle can operate without one, but the maximum potential of these products will be achieved with a tune.
Not to bad at all .But the 2 door looks much better then the 4 door.
Matthew Sisk thanks!
no check ligth ?
Yea you get one
@@ChrisLowpes YES , sir i cant remove the ligth ?
sounds like a Honda
Shocking
