RV6 Performance High Flow Precats - 2013-2017 Accord V6 / 2015-2020 TLX

Your Accord V6 or TLX's got stock precats that are holding the engine back. They're tiny. They're restrictive. Honda built them to pass emissions testing not to flow exhaust. You're losing power because of it. RV6 makes precats that bolt right where the stock ones came out. Bigger tubes. Better flowing cats. 304 stainless steel throughout. They're TIG welded by actual welders who know what they're doing. Every joint's backpurged to get rid of impurities and weak spots. The stainless transition is smooth and clean so exhaust doesn't fight turbulence. You're getting better scavenging. You're getting lower backpressure. You're getting real power gains. They work with stock J-pipes or any aftermarket J-pipe you've already got. Best results when you pair them with an RV6 Long Tube J-pipe but they're solid on their own. Just bolt them on and you're done. No cutting. No welding. No headaches. The EGR tube hookup's already there so nothing's fighting your stock setup.

Here's Why The Factory Precats Suck

The stock precats on your V6 are small and that's on purpose. They're not engineered for power. They're engineered for emissions compliance and that's it. The cats are barely 200 cells. The tubing's narrow. Exhaust gets choked trying to get through those things. Your engine's fighting backpressure just to push the air out. You're losing horsepower that should be going to the wheels. The RV6 precats are bigger. 300 cell cats. Wider tubes. The transition flows smooth without any turbulence screwing things up. Scavenging gets better. The head breathes cleaner. The engine makes real power without beating itself to death.

Built By People Who Care - Not Some Cheap Knockoff

These precats are solid 304 stainless steel. Everything. Tubes. Flanges. Transition. All of it. Master welders TIG them together. Not some robot arm slapping welds on. Then they backpurge to clean out all the junk and eliminate weak spots that crack later. The cast stainless transition's designed with CAD and real measurements so the fitment's tight and the flow's optimized. You're not getting gaps or rough welds that trash the exhaust path. We've seen people buy cheap knockoff precats trying to save money and they start cracking at the welds in a year. The flanges warp. The whole thing falls apart. Don't do that. The RV6 precats are built right.

Bolt It On And You're Done - No Custom Fab

These bolt straight in where your stock precats came out. You pull the old ones off and the new ones slide right on. No custom brackets. No welding. No cutting anything. The EGR tube connector's already built in so you're not jerry-rigging that part. Everything bolts up clean because RV6 designed this thing to fit your car right. You're not fighting loose bolts or gaps. It installs like it was made for your engine. Because it was.

Pair With What You've Got Or Go All In

These precats work with your factory J-pipe. They work with any aftermarket J-pipe you're running. So if you want to just swap the precats and keep everything else that works. You want the real setup. Grab an RV6 Long Tube J-pipe and pair them together. The combination flows perfect. You get the best power numbers. You get the best scavenging. Everything works smooth. But honestly the precats alone are still adding real power. You don't have to replace everything to see a difference.

Real Power - Not Fake Dyno Numbers

You're getting a solid bump in horsepower and torque. How much really depends on what else you've already done to the engine. Stock V6 with just these precats. You're looking at 8-12 hp. Engine's already got an intake and a tune. You're still gaining real power but the exact number depends on your setup. Either way you're getting a sharper throttle response. The exhaust flows cleaner. The motor pulls harder. You feel it when you drive. We've seen people order precats expecting them to magically add 30 hp and then get mad when they don't. That's not how it works. Precats are one piece. Add a J-pipe and a tune and now you're actually making noise.
