I think its definitely one of the better sounding ones ive heard. Is this the price we can expect for cat backs on this car? 1600-2k? that seems like a lot in comparison to other catbacks from the same manufacturers

That seems to be the price range for the exhaust for the R. I think it’s because they are new, give it some time once manufacturer’s are having a hard time selling them they will be cheaper. Ones for the Sport hatch are ranging from $600-over $1000. I suspect the same will happen with those. I think it’s better to invest in a downpipe/frontpipe combo.

For me it seems like aFe is gonna be the way I go. Initially thought Milltek was gonna get my money, but I’m leaning more towards aFe or MAYBE Remus now. Idk...

Side note I will probably compile a master list of the exhausts coming out with audio files when I get a chance. May not be until tomorrow.

make sure you get under power and part throttle sounds - the sit and rev don't show the true vocals of the exhaust - probably the worst way to compare alone.

Best sounding exhaust so far

I’ll do what I can. But ya know, only so man vids out of exhausts.

If anyone has any vids of their own posted up somewhere PM me the link and I may use it in the thread I make.

price: $1405.69

Even the latest-model sport compact vehicles have room for improvement and is why aFe’s Takeda stainless steel cat-back exhaust system for the 2017 Honda Civic Type R L4-2.0L (t) engine is here to turn it up. In-house testing shows this Takeda exhaust system delivered gains of up to +19 HP/ +20 lbs. x ft. TQ and offers an aggressive growl under load! Constructed of 3” into 2 ½” mandrel bent, brush finished, 304 stainless steel tubing for improved performance flow, corrosion resistance and overall breath-taking appearance, it is 100% hand TIG-welded by certified craftsmen for race proven strength and durability. This uniquely designed system incorporates a resonator, dual free-flowing 304 stainless steel mufflers and a center “open-pipe” to improve performance across the power band while maintaining a smooth, deep tone. Dual 4 ½” and single 3 ½” carbon fiber tips (“Tri-Tip”) provides a track-ready, competitive look.

Performance Gains:
In house testing produced a max gain of +19 horsepower and +20 lbs. x ft. torque

Brush Finished 304 Stainless Steel Construction:
3” into 2 ½” brush finished, mandrel bent 304 stainless steel tubing for maximum performance, corrosion resistance, durability and overall appearance.

Mitered Merge Collector:
A mitered collector separates exhaust gases into three individual tubes. This decreases turbulence and increase exhaust velocity resulting in increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response.

Smooth, Deep, Aggressive Sound:
Uniquely designed, dual free-flowing 304 stainless steel mufflers and a center “open-pipe” to unleash horsepower and torque gains across the power band while producing a powerful, smooth, deep tone.

Tri-Carbon Fiber Tips:
This system features two 4 ½” and one 3 ½” double-wall carbon fiber exhaust tips. The tri-carbon tips or “Tri-Tip” completes the form and function of this Takeda exhaust system for a stylish and competitive look.

TIG-Welded:
100% TIG-Welded by certified craftsmen for race proven strength and durability. TIG-Welding provides the strongest welds reducing stress cracks.

Hassle-Free Installation:
OE-style bayonet hangers are used to maintain stable exhaust location during every driving condition. All hardware is included for a hassle-free installation. aFe POWER offers a 2-year warranty.

Note:
Will NOT fit Honda Civic Type R (FK2) Europe models.

All aFe exhaust systems are engineered and manufactured in our Corona, California facility.

This setup looks like it'd drone BAD

Constructed of 3” into 2 ½” mandrel bent, brush finished, 304 stainless steel tubing

People have been crapping on anything that isn't 3" piping, but yet the aFe tapers down to 2.5" tubing and nobody bats an eye? LOL.

it goes from 3" to TWO 2.5" - (so from a sectional area of 7.069 to a sectional area of (4.909)*2=9.818)

Talked to someone from AFE and they said the exhaust is backordered to Dec due to the high demand. If anyone has received one and installed it, can you post videos to share?
