What are the extra pipes on my Honda Civic Type R exhaust?

I drive a 2017 Honda Civic Type R, and this is something I’ve always wondered about. What are the extra pipes on my Honda Civic Type R exhaust? Do they do anything special, or are the extras just for show?

That’s a great question! The 2017 Honda Civic Type R exhaust system has specially designed features for optimal sound levels and airflow, including:
  • Exhaust pipe that branches off into three tailpipes
  • Two mufflers on the two outer tailpipes
The flow of air through these three pipes will adjust depending on whether you’re driving at lower or highway speeds, ideally giving you a good balance between satisfying sound and ride comfort as you’re headed down the road.
The more you know! As you continue looking after your Honda Civic Type R, it’s worth making sure it’s protected by the right
