Got one in black. Traded in my FN2 for an FK8. The FN2 was a loyal beast for 9 years, loved that car but this thing is on a completely different plain of existence.
Check out the J's Racing exhausts for the Type R, They make the car growl and depending on which one you chose they can get loud and crackle a little! Here's the link for one that I like: ruclips.net/video/_CNvbgFhxMU/видео.html
I think the Honda Engineers were right on the money. Stock mufflers to produce a low exhaust tone is the way to go. All aftermarket exhaust sound awful. lol
Only disadvantage is not being able to free up the restriction when turning up the power. The factory system gets the job done, but does not provide max efficiency after installing intake, tune, downpipe, etc..
I miss the crazy intake sound of the NA K20. I guess this is progress, but there was something special about the old K20 breathing fresh air at a million RPM. It will be interesting to see the longevity of the Turbo K20's and find out how we're paying for that extra 100hp. The NA ones were insanely reliable.
Indeed! So far they have proven fairly reliable, a lot of our customers are running our tunes on their daily vehicles and are still going 100% till this day
This is an excellent video covering a lot of sonic ground. I've been driving my 2019 with RV6 hi-flo cat DP for 3-years now, currently have the AWE system with the additional resonator section up front to get rid of the horrible drone this system has with an aftermarket DP. Dropped 1" on Swift springs, I have maybe 2" of ground clearance and the resonator scrapes over everything. Shopping for new exhaust and my problem is that I don't think any of these actually sound good. Type R is just a funky sounding car...OEM exhaust sounded best, just too quiet and too restrictive due to its tubing size. I hate to sound like a suck-up, but the best I've heard so far is your new VR system. I ran across a Type R in Tenn. on the Tail of the Dragon this summer that had the VR system. Sounds the most OEM...improved OEM, and the valve system offers excellent flexibility. I looked into it and unfortunately, it's just priced out of range for me. Second best to my ears is the Invidia R400, which I can get for near half the price, so I'll probably go that route. I'll have my bang for buck build completed soon. The chassis/suspension/brakes, etc., are done. Just need to complete the power mods when the last parts arrive, and it's finished. I plan to create a video series detailing each modification I've made, the logic behind them as well as the benefit/cost (ROI). Based on my experience, I'll probably give the VR exhaust system a shout as the best of the best (IMO) for those that can afford it. It is truly an exceptional item.
Check out dream automotive exhaust in my opinion it sounds like a proper jet . Every goal of an exhaust for a honda should be to make it sound unique from the rest bottom line . When I pass you must wonder if you should go behind it
Which ones give sound but DO NOT drone kill you when you are cruising down that hiway at 70mph? I wouldn't mind more sound but I don't need to heard 3 miles away all the time and don't want it to be annoying as hell constantly.
There are arguably many good exhaust systems that will increase sound when you need it to (at higher rpm) and remain calm at cruising speeds. We recommend our very own VR Performance FK8 cat-back exhaust system, feel free to email us at sales@vividracing.com to further assist you in your build!
That would be a good comparison, just hard finding people that all have the same exhaust, but with different downpipes. We have a few different options though! Shoot an email over to sales@vividracing . com and our sales team will get you hooked up
I reckon if anything it’d be the Milltek one. I have one on my Fiesta ST and I get no drone when going down the motorway even though it’s non resonated.
@@vivid_racing exactly! Wish it had a bit more of that "fart" or "boom" sound since it probably isnt loud enough, but that sound is very relaxing for me to hear it, but again, im not fan of exhausts that are way too laud, like ppl on the streets trying to show off and you hear only "bamm bamm bamm" from an exhaust that is a bit overexaggerated
Looks so beautiful i really do love the look but it sounds like the rest, to much vw and merc exhaust note, old hondas vtec's stood out thanks to that raspy exhaust note.
@@vivid_racing I have to disagree. I have a full GReddy supreme SP (HG) triple tip exhaust plus the optional 3" front and mid pipe that they offer with a stock DP. The in-cabin drone at highway speed (between 70-80mph) is unbearable. The word subjective gets thrown around a lot, but its terrible. $2k for an exhaust system that's pretty difficult to live with. It does however, sound great outside of the car. The only one that has got a lot of praise for minimal drone is the HKS Legamax
Have a 2019 Typer R and I agree with some of the comments below. Just as fun now as the day I bought. I'm leaning to the AWE Touring. Biggest fear is drone. This is an everyday driver, do you have any video's that have someone just cruising 60/65mph with this exhaust from inside the car? Can you comment that drone is not heard inside the car when just cruising at a steady speed?
That's definitely an important factor! If you send us an email at sales@vividracing.com one of our reps can provide some clips of the exhaust itself and the cabin noise!
@@vivid_racing ok.. but is it street legal? Its hard to tell by the sound on video. Will my check engine light go on if ever i buy one? I want that isn't that loud.. i want it a little bit louder than my stock exhaust.. can u tell me which one.. thanks man..
I'd say any Type R exhaust that doesn't come with a front pipe (i.e. a simple catback) will fit on the hatchback Sport. Will need to trim the rear fascia to fit 3 tips tho.
Couldn’t agree more. I know AWE makes great products (I’ve got a touring edition on my Jetta 1.8t and love it) but they just didn’t showcase it well. Thanks for sharing the one you did!
None of the exhausts in this video will fit the Si or Sport models, but check out this link here to some of the exhausts we do carry for the Si and Sport - www.vividracing.com/catbacks-c-4369.html?class_8=33&class_9=41857

To truly hear the differences between every exhaust it is best to hear them in person. This video gives owners an idea of what they are purchasing beforehand. Can’t wait for the Mugen one to come out though!
@@vivid_racing yes that's very true you do have to hear it in person but on microphone on a video on your phone is making it sound the same. The Mugen one is in development now if you put it in on Google fk8 Mugen
First exhaust sounded the best
Armytrix makes a quality system, that's for sure
Meh. Super puto sounding exhaust
My favorite
Vivid Racing yeah if only I could afford it 😬
They are the best. Pricey though
I got the Milltek non-res installed on my FK8 and I couldn’t be happier. It completely transforms the car.
2:33 my favorite I think
Aggressive yet dialed at the same time!
Vivid Racing i agree
I got that Ark.. sounds amazing... but the build quality is bad.. welding broke twice!!
You think?
This right here is my absolute dream car right here 😍
Same 😍 i was at a local Honda Store a few Months ago. There was a Type R in red. Such an awesome car. I wanted to buy this but it costs over 40000 € 😂
1.5 years of ownership. Its just as exciting today as my first day!
It’s a dream to drive I tell ya
I'm so close getting it
Got one in black. Traded in my FN2 for an FK8. The FN2 was a loyal beast for 9 years, loved that car but this thing is on a completely different plain of existence.
I have a good choice once I get my hands on the 2020 FK8 . Just waiting for delivery since factory delay.
Good for you bro, congrats! :) How is it right now? :D
Mee too i still wait for my 2021 FK8. They deliver on June or July during pandemic and it also the last car delivery here in Switzerland
AWE PERFORMANCE - Track Edition👌🔥❤️
🙌🏼🤘🏼 one of our favorites
Is that what I should get?
The AWE track edition exhaust sounded incredible.
It does!
I love the AWE Performance Touring
Same here! 😍🙌🏼
@@vivid_racingsadly I cant drive the AWE legal in Germany.... So I think about the Invidia R400 🤔
AWE will probably be my #1 pick. Milltek sounded awesome until it made it to high rev.
AWE features the 180 drone cancelling technology which is why it's so refined throughout the rpm range. Definitely a good choice!
I agree with you 💨
Watching this video in my 2013 2.2L civic haha wishing it was a type R a y Type R. Never understood the fan boys but now im such a fan boy
They have definitely become a lot of peoples favorite car even after not liking Honda's before!
Thanks for the video- My top choices on my list are the Magnaflow, Remus or maybe the AFE. The Borla Type S on my 9th Gen Accord hits the spot!
Thanks for sharing! We can't make up our mind which is our fav :D
Still havent found the sound that suits me, hmm gotta still look for some more

DanT-Rex im aimingvfor the invidia r400.. sounds not too over the top
@@upbeatmantis86 alot of drone tho
@@dant-rex1727 thats definitely the one im going with 🔥
Same boat. Nothing. i mean nothing suits me.
All is missing is that 9k red line
Nothing sounds better than the cat back remus exhaust system in my opinion 😊
That is a solid opinion!

27won is what I have.... Hands down such a nice exhaust
Clinton Popham I have the same agreed but biased
Still sounds like a civic. Imagine all the 3 am rips you could do. Perfect
They do have a much better sound than the previous civics that's for sure
1 HKS
2 Tomei Type D
3 left out Greddy.......
IMO
NO 1 IS ARMITRYX
I’ll take the ark, the idle sound is not too obnoxious. some of my other picks are the awe and the remark.
Best one on here is armytrix
Alex Peguero tend agree, a lot of nice ones though ❤️👍
The stock exhaust is way to quiet anyways so this is a great upgrade!👍
All of them do a great job at eliminating restriction and unlocking the glorious exhaust note that is muted with the factory exhaust 😁

Thermal I would say is best
Is the turbo upgraded? I heard loud flutters on the black type r
Most likely just had a cold air intake and a bypass valve delete
Check out the Remus exhaust for the fk8 it sounds insane 😍
For sure! Thanks for watching!
First one the best 👌
Armytrix sure doesn't mess around! Thanks for watching.
I love them all🔥🔥
We do too! Thanks for watching! 🙌🔥
27won exhaust!! Zero drone!!!
Takeda i think is the best one
Good choice
Rampage exhaust awesome sound
Would love to hear it
Ke sounds really nice
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Vtec sound always be my sound...... :)
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Can you make a video of s2000 exhaust compilation
That would be sweet, we can definitely look into it! Thanks for watching!
Boost logic should be added for sure.
No J's racing exhaust? Its a fair chunk lighter than OEM even the SUS one, also unique souding IRL compared to most others out there.
That'd be interesting to see!
Armytrix or the ark one was my favourites by far.
Definitely up there for us too!
first and last exhaust product D is nice for me xD
Thanks for watching!
Where is Remus 3 pipe, with 3 adjustable buttons? Thx 👍😃 great video guys. TYVM
You should do this type of video but with downpipes, speaking of which do you know which DP would sound good paired with AWE
That would be a good comparison, just hard finding people that all have the same exhaust, but with different downpipes. We have a few different options though! Shoot an email over to sales@vividracing . com and our sales team will get you hooked up
Prl catted dp
Armytrix souds like a honda should be!!
Agreed!
For me its the hks legamax and ark. Thats it. Lot of them sound too raspy.
Those are our top two right there as well
Milltek exhaust 💨💨💯💯🙏
🔥🔥
I ordered AWE touring for my fk8 in South Africa...too keen
How are you liking it??
These are all amazing! Just wondering which one has little to no drone when just cruising at high way speeds
I reckon if anything it’d be the Milltek one. I have one on my Fiesta ST and I get no drone when going down the motorway even though it’s non resonated.
Anything with a Valve will be best
Armytrix is my vote too
Top competitor! Love the throaty sound to them 😍
I like Remark one nice bass
Has some really deep tones 🙌🏼 love it
@@vivid_racing exactly! Wish it had a bit more of that "fart" or "boom" sound since it probably isnt loud enough, but that sound is very relaxing for me to hear it, but again, im not fan of exhausts that are way too laud, like ppl on the streets trying to show off and you hear only "bamm bamm bamm" from an exhaust that is a bit overexaggerated

Stock sounds best
Looks so beautiful i really do love the look but it sounds like the rest, to much vw and merc exhaust note, old hondas vtec's stood out thanks to that raspy exhaust note.
Unfortunately, many owners did not like the raspy tone. They definitely do have the looks and performance though!
Great vid fella 👍
Thank you!
Vivid Racing welcome fella 👍
Fi Exhaust sound good
Need to get one in to hear it!
HKS 👌
Would have to agree
Milltek part resonated in my opinion
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
No problem thanks fpr the awesome content
Remark and Tomei type D
Probably the most refined, yet, raw sounding exhausts! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Afe sounds good.

Amazing sounds my Dude
Thx!
My dream car 😍❤️
Anything is possible if you put your mind to it! You got this :)
1:37
Why can't this sound like the damn Volester!!! That's the only thing that car has on the Type R.
This is where engine design plays a huge factor in the difference in sound, but agreed
Also has more value for the money at the cost of the type r you can buy a new rwd car...
Some drone like crazy that’s the problem with the type r the drone inside
Downpipe usually is the problem
