Milltek Cast Downpipe & HJS Sports Cat for Honda/Acura Civic Type R FK2 Turbocharged 2.0 litre i-VTEC (LHD models only) (2015-2017) – Improved Flow, Sports Catalyst
This is Milltek's cast downpipe for the Honda/Acura Civic Type R FK2 Turbocharged 2.0 litre i-VTEC (LHD models only). It replaces the factory downpipe with a cast, less restrictive design at the point where the factory system is most restrictive, improving flow from the turbo outlet into the rest of the exhaust.
It's a solid first step for anyone building towards a bigger power upgrade, since the downpipe is usually the single biggest bottleneck in the standard exhaust.

Is it road legal?
Milltek lists this as a race part without EC approval, so it is intended for off-road and competition use.
Do I need a remap?
A suitable remap is strongly recommended, as the engine management needs to account for the change in flow and sensor readings. Speak to your tuner before fitting.
How is a sports cat different from a de-cat?
A sports cat still contains a catalyst, just a less dense one that flows better than the factory unit. A de-cat removes the catalyst completely.
How long does it take to fit?
Milltek quotes approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
What is it made from?
T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration better than lower grades.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Milltek products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us with your order number if you have a problem.
