Honda Civic 10th gen 2017 Civic hatchback mods.. IMG_3400.JPG
So I bought a hatch sport about 2 weeks ago and I'm looking at throwing in some hid's, and contemplating an exhaust/muffler change to get a throatier sound. Since it has a turbo how hard would it be to retune if I changed exhausts and what brand/size lights should I be looking for?

You don't need a "retune" if you change exhaust.

For HIDs I recommend Morimoto. A little more expensive than shitty ebay kits, but you have to pay to play.

Nice looking car!

I was there the day they took it off the truck you can call a dealer and have them get you one via dealer trade or order one for you

Please don't be an idiot when it comes to aftermarket headlights - Keep in mind there are other people on the road you will be blinding the hell out of. Which is exactly what everyone is doing when they just throw HIDs into halogen housings. The Retrofit Source has some nice stuff for proper HID conversions, but they probably don't have Civic specific stuff yet.

They already have projector housings

Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's not as bad as reflector housings, i'll give it that, but it isn't ideal either - at least it wont be like these dickheads putting straight up LED Flood lights in their Jeep headlights.
My WRX had projector housings too, but the lenses are different for HID, they're way more intense and the light is focused differently; I had to swap out the projectors.
