Unlock the full performance potential of your Civic Type R FK8 with the HKS LEGAMAX Premium Muffler System (Code No. 31021-BH003). Engineered for maximum flow and minimal back-pressure, this exhaust delivers a dramatic improvement in turbo response, mid-range power and full-throttle performance—without sacrificing daily drivability or sound refinement.
Key Features & Benefits
Overwhelming low exhaust pressure
The large-diameter φ75 main pipe with a full straight-through structure reduces exhaust pressure to approximately 50% of the stock system. This allows the turbo to spool faster, especially in the low-RPM range.
Performance gains across the rev band
With significantly reduced back-pressure, the engine breathes more efficiently, delivering stronger output from low-end torque to high-RPM power. Tuned FK8 builds have achieved up to 540 ps with no compromise to engine reliability.
Premium construction
Manufactured from S304 stainless steel for outstanding durability and corrosion resistance.
High-quality finish
Equipped with a 97 mm titanium-finished tail for a motorsport-inspired look and a clean, refined exhaust note.
Legal & certified
Fully EU certified (JQR30183001 K20Ct) for street use and compliance.
Fitment & clearance
Direct bolt-on fitment for the Civic Type R FK8 (6BA-FK8) from 2017/09 to 2022/08. Road clearance is approximately 110 mm on stock suspension. Note: clearance may vary depending on aftermarket suspension setups.
