"Hey Honda Civic Type R fam, I'm looking to squeeze out some extra horsepower from my FK8. I've already upgraded to a high-flow intake and exhaust system, but I'm thinking of going further. Anyone have any experience with downpipes or engine tunes that can safely bump my performance without voiding the warranty?"

"Honestly not a Honda guy myself, but I know a friend who modded his Civic Type R with a cold air intake and a cat-back exhaust. Apparently it made a big difference in sound and some minor gains in power. Anyone tried something similar?"

"Hey guys, just threw in a lightweight exhaust system on my '20 Type R and it's made a noticeable difference. Also switched to Pirelli Trofeo R tires, grippy as heck. Next up, might try to dial in the suspension for some track days."

Just picked up my HFP kit for my Civic Type R and I gotta say, it's a game changer. The exhaust note is insane and the handling is even more dialed in. Anyone know if the HFP suspension is compatible with the Spoon Springs?

"Hey guys, I've got a Type R and I recently threw a Cobb accessport on it, it's been a game changer for daily drives. Got my 0-60 time down by about 1 second. Also installed a cold air intake and exhaust system for some added roar."

"Just threw in a cold air intake and a downpipe on my Type R, saw a decent 10-15hp gain. Definitely worth the investment, but don't expect miracles. Next up is a cat-back exhaust and some suspension tweaks."

"Dude, I've got a buddy who owns a Type R and he recently installed a downpipe and a cat-back exhaust. He says it's made a noticeable difference in power and sound. Now his car is even louder than before"

"Dude, just installed a cat-back exhaust on my '19 Type R and it's given me a nice throaty sound and some extra HP. Not too expensive either, about $800 bucks. Definitely worth it if you're looking for a bit of a boost."
