The Catback Exhaust your FK8 Civic Type R Needs!!

When we first got our Honda Civic Type R, I was fortunate enough to be allowed to take the car out for about a week and spend some time with the car. I could instantly understand the hype around this beautiful machine. Only I did have a few things that left me wanting more out of the car.

From a looks perspective, the 20's had to go... So we ordered some 18's for the car which we have yet to share any pictures of... However the other MAIN complaint I had was that the car was way too quiet!! Unsurprisingly, everyone else at the shop agreed which is why our MAPerformance Catback Exhaust will be the first product in our trio of MAPerformance parts to be released in the coming weeks!

My personal (obviously biased) opinion of the MAPerformance FK8 Catback is that it wakes the car up and gives the car the perfect low end tone without any of the unwanted raspiness that typically gets associated with 4 cylinder Honda exhausts. But that's my personal review, for the official product description you can check it out below!

Description
Modern Automotive Performance is no stranger to designing high-performance exhausts for modern turbocharged vehicles, but for the 2017+ Civic Type R, we decided to go straight to the owners to determine what they wanted most in an exhaust solution.

Performance:
Owners demand performance and performance is enhanced by decreasing the energy and effort that is required for exhaust gasses to pass through a system. To reduce restrictions, we used 3” inch diameter stainless steel tubing and meticulously designed the system with smooth, mandrel-bent routing. We also designed the long legs of the mid-pipe on our CNC mandrel bender to minimize the number of sections that had to be welded together, further decreasing areas that might create flow-robbing turbulence.
Another unique feature of our system is the ability to eliminate the factory 3 Bolt connections on the front of the catback and the rear of the front pipe. We offer the “For use with MAP Front Pipe” option that connects to the front of the mid-pipe section via V-Band, and then goes to the V-Band connection out the MAP Civic Type R front pipe, offering the least restrictive catback on the market for the Civic Type R.

Quality:
What you can control, in house, ultimately dictates the quality of the final product. Few other companies use in-house mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, but we do. Next, our expert fabricators TIG weld each flange and joint with their superior back-purging techniques to ensure each weld lasts as long as the life of the car, while never leaking. Finally, each weld is inspected for imperfections before being sent off to our shipping department for shipment around the globe!

Made from high-quality 304 Stainless Steel our 10th Gen Civic Type R catback is a rare find. Most exhaust systems on the market are made from an inferior 409 Stainless and are prone to surface rust over time. Designed with performance and longevity in mind we're certain anyone in the market for a 10th Gen CivicType R catback will be extremely pleased with the performance gains and exhaust sound of this system.

Sound:
When it comes to the 10th Gen CivicType R catback exhausts, few things matter as much as sound. Other companies design an exhaust for performance and fitment, but the resulting tone simply becomes the result. Here at Modern Automotive Performance, we take care to focus on the little details in order to bring out the best in each and every catback we build.
That's just part of what makes the Modern Automotive Performance 10th Gen Civic Type R Catback special. Of course, the sound it creates is nothing to shy away from either. You'll get an aggressive, throaty roar with the addition of a few extra ponies.

A unique feature of the Modern Automotive Performance 10th Gen Civic Type R Catback, is the offering of Multiple Options when it comes to the sound of our system. Every unit will come with a single resonated midsection, from there we have 2 tip options that are easily switched with a single 3” V-Band connection:

Street - The addition of a Single Ultra Quiet tip will be our middle-of-the-road design, quiet enough to comfortably take the car on a long road trip, while also producing a more aggressive sound when driving the car the way it's meant to be driven. The Street tip has been our most popular design among Beta testers and Staff alike. Finished with our Tripple 4” Tip, this is for those of you looking to get the performance, and up the sound a bit while still keeping the neighborhood happy (For the most part). Eliminating drone at freeway speeds this is the perfect all-around catback.

Race - The tip for someone that wants to be loud and proud of their Civic Type R, A 3” Straight pipe split to our Tripple 4” Tips is a sure way to make sure they hear you. This setup will produce the most sound, but surprisingly is for the most part still very driveable day to day, even more so if you have the factory restrictive catalytic converter in place. This tip setup will have slightly more rasp than the other options, but nothing we would consider unbearable.
