Petrolheads all over the world have been thrilled by the latest generation Honda Civic Type R. The razor-sharp chassis and incredible 316BHP 2.0 Turbocharged K20C1 V-TEC engine make the FK8 Civic Type R one of the ultimate driver's hyper hatches. With 316BHP, the Type R can race from a standstill to 62MPH in just 5.7 seconds and it will out-accelerate its rivals, with a top speed of 169MPH.However, the one aspect of the driving experience where the Civic Type R disappoints is its exhaust system, which is subdued from factory, and masks the true potential of the V-TEC engine.Cobra Sport's all new Cat Back range has enhanced the driving experience of the Civic Type R, by developing a precision TIG-welded performance exhaust which not only adds performance but also unlocks a new level of sound to create a hyper hatch with an exhaust tone to match its extreme looks. Cobra Sport's research and development team were also able to increase the sound level by +16.5dB in non-resonated front flex back configuration.This all-new performance exhaust features a unique rear silencer which utilises noise cancelling technology, and is engineered to enhance the unrivalled sound of the high revving V-TEC engine, whilst eliminating unwanted drone.The turbocharged V-TEC engine is extremely capable making the Civic Type R a tuners dream. For those looking for the biggest upgrade in terms of performance, Cobra Sport have developed their full turbo back performance exhaust.The turbo back system has been designed with a 4.5 in/114.3mm 200 cell high flow sports catalyst and is true 3in/76.2mm pipework throughout, maximising the flow rates and optimising tuning potential of the Japanese icon. After equipping our development FK8 Civic Type R with Cobra Sport's all-new high flow sports cat turbo back performance exhaust, the Type R headed to Honda tuning specialists 'TDi North' where it produced 417BHP on the dyno when teamed with their specialist stage 2 remap.Cobra Sport has also improved the styling of the Civic Type R creating a noticeably enhanced and balanced look to the rear of the Civic with a choice of triple 4in/101.6mm slash cut highly polished stainless-steel tailpipes.
