When it comes to turbo cars, the OEM exhaust system is generally pretty restrictive. This is mostly due to emissions compliance and keeping the exhaust quiet. An aftermarket catback exhaust is a great way to get more power out of your FK8 Civic Type R, but the OEM downpipe will still hold your car back. By replacing the stock downpipe with an aftermarket unit, the turbo can spool up much faster resulting in better throttle response, and the turbo can spin faster resulting in more power. Invidia is a massive name in the JDM market, and it was only a matter of time before they got their hands on an FK8 Civic Type R and developed parts.
Invidia is going to offer two different versions of this downpipe: a catted version and a catless system, both of which are for off-road use only. Both versions use 76mm (3-inch) piping, which is significantly larger in diameter than the OEM downpipe. The larger diameter allows the exhaust gases to flow faster and more freely, which is where the improved throttle response and increased power comes from. On top of that, the Invidia downpipe is much lighter than the stock unit. If you’ve been looking for a high-quality downpipe for your Civic Type R FK8, then these new downpipes from Invidia are perfect for you.
- Off-road use only
