Will the AWE Track Edition Exhaust work with an aftermarket front pipe on the FK8 Civic Type R?

No. The AWE Track Edition Exhaust for the FK8 includes an integrated front pipe as part of the system, and AWE exhausts are not designed to mate with front pipes from other manufacturers. Aftermarket downpipes are a different story; those work fine as long as they use a factory-style flange. If you are running or planning to run an aftermarket front pipe from another brand, this system is not compatible.

How loud is the AWE Track Edition compared to the Touring Edition on the FK8?

Noticeably louder, particularly through mid-range acceleration and on deceleration. Both editions share the same integrated front pipe and bespoke mid-pipe resonator; the difference is the rear section. The Touring Edition runs AWE's 180 Technology® resonator at the rear to cancel drone-prone frequencies, while the Track Edition replaces that with a straight-through section. The result is a more present, unfiltered K20C1 tone at all speeds with more cabin noise at cruise. AWE notes this version may be more than some drivers expect.

Does the AWE Track Edition Exhaust for the FK8 fit the 2017 through 2021 model years?

Yes. The AWE Track Edition Exhaust fits the Honda Civic Type R FK8 from 2017 through 2021, equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 K20C1 engine. It is a direct bolt-on system with no cutting or modification required, and AWE backs it with a Perfect Fitment guarantee.

Can I switch from the Track Edition to the Touring Edition on the FK8 without buying a whole new exhaust?

Yes. AWE offers conversion kits that let you swap between Track and Touring configurations. The conversion involves changing out the rear axle-back section; the front pipe, mid-pipe resonator, and hardware all carry over. If you buy the Track Edition now and decide later that you want the drone-controlled Touring character, the conversion kit makes that change without replacing the full system.

AWE Tuning Track Edition Exhaust w/ Front Pipe and Triple Chrome Silver Tips for FK8 Civic Type R

The AWE Track Edition Exhaust for the FK8 Civic Type R is designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house at AWE in the USA, handcrafted from 3″ CNC mandrel-bent, U.S.-sourced .065″ wall T304L stainless steel. The integrated front pipe is included as part of the system, and the rear 180 Technology® resonator is replaced with straight-through sections; no filtering, no attenuation, just the full-volume, unfiltered K20C1 character the Track Edition is built for. The clean straight-through design keeps airflow unrestricted for maximum performance output, with max gains of 5hp and 9ft-lb of torque at the wheels. It bolts on directly for a factory-like install, carries AWE’s Perfect Fitment guarantee, and finishes with a bespoke stamped stainless steel trident tip merge and triple 4.5″ double-walled slash-cut chrome silver tips.

Track Edition Exhaust

The Track Edition shares the same integrated front pipe and bespoke mid-pipe resonator as the Touring Edition but replaces the rear 180 Technology resonator with straight-through sections for full-volume, unfiltered K20 character. The result is more presence inside and outside the cabin, built for drivers who want the exhaust raw and unapologetic.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
