We've kept our FK8 downpipe development under wraps for a few weeks because we tossed around a handful of different ideas. Today our renderings were 3D printed and passed a fitment test.

Precision investment casting allows us to utilize a non-restrictive CLR, or center-line radius to maintain velocity out of the turbine into the 3.5" middle section. This process also allows us to retain the factory heatsheilds. The outlet of the downpipe features a 3" ID to connect seamlessly to both our 3" front pipe upgrade and the factory front pipe. All downpipes will be TIG welded and back-purged for optimal strength.

Once we receive our pieces back from casting we will be ready for testing and final fitment. Stay tuned with data and results!

Samples castings are finished, we are just designing a fixture to finish machining them. We plan to have a working prototype for pictures and data purposes within two weeks from today. There were a few issues that needed revised in the castings, hence the prolonged release. Once fitment is approved, we will begin manufacturing a giant batch and pre-order sale!

Prototype 304 SS castings have arrived for our 2017+ FK8 Civic Type-R downpipes. Our downpipes will be available in both Street (catted) and Race (catless) options. Both options will will fit factory heat shields as well. Stay tuned for dyno testing and our pre-order sale! :headbang:

Our downpipe castings are getting finished up being machined and then getting ready to be fabbed up by our welders. Wait until you see our downpipe jigs for welding! ;) Downpipes should be shipping in chronological order shortly! :)

Another batch of CTR downpipe castings are getting machined and ready for fabrication! All back orders will be shipping shortly in chronological order, we thank everyone for their patience. Please keep in mind that every downpipe is machined, welded and packed by hand in-house with close attention to detail. ;)
