Thermal R&D Catback / Frontpipe Exhaust System – 2017+ Honda Civic Type R (FK8)
The Thermal R&D Catback / Frontpipe Exhaust System is the ultimate performance upgrade for the 2017+ Honda Civic Type R (FK8). This true 3″ system delivers a deep, aggressive turbo growl during acceleration and launch while maintaining a completely drone-free cabin at cruising speeds, thanks to Thermal R&D’s exclusive True Helmholtz Technology (THT) and an internal rear chamber.
The upgraded polished triple-exit tips are designed to perfectly fill out the OEM valance and bumper, giving your Civic Type R a factory-integrated yet distinctly more aggressive appearance.
Constructed from high-quality T304 stainless steel with a mill finish on the front pipe, tubing, and resonator paired with a brushed muffler, this exhaust offers excellent durability, improved flow, and the thrilling sound that Type R owners expect. It retains all factory hangers for a true direct bolt-on installation with no cutting or modifications required.
