PRODUCT DETAILS
Invidia Catted Down Pipe, FK8 Civic Type R
If you’ve got a 17-21 Civic R Downpipe on your wishlist, this is the straightforward, bolt on move that actually changes how the car pulls. The Invidia Catted Downpipe Civic (SKU: NVD-HS17CTRDPC) fits the 2017 Civic Type R Downpipe crowd all the way through a 2021 Civic R Downpipe, including the 2021 Limited Edition. You get more flow than stock without turning the car into a total headache to live with. We run these exact parts on our own cars because they make sense for a real Civic R Turbo Upgrade, not because they look good in a cart.
This is an Invidia 4-inch Downpipe with a 4 inch stainless steel bellmouth, which matters because the factory setup chokes the turbo right where you don’t want restriction. More flow here means the turbo works less to make the same boost, or it makes more boost with the same effort once you tune for it. Expect the biggest gains with a tune, but even on a lightly modded car you’ll feel quicker spool and harder midrange. The one piece layout keeps install simple and it’s built for Invidia Exhaust fitment Downpipe compatibility, it mates up to an Invidia catback or the stock Type R Exhaust Downpipe connection without you playing exhaust shop with extra sections and adapters.
