Upgrade your Honda Civic Type R FK8 with the HKS Legamax Premium Exhaust System, a high-quality stainless steel performance exhaust designed to deliver improved exhaust flow, refined sports sound and premium styling while maintaining road-legal approval for European use.
The HKS Legamax Premium exhaust is engineered for FK8 Civic Type R owners who want the performance benefits of a sports exhaust without losing the elegance, quality and everyday usability expected from a premium Japanese performance brand. Built from high-grade SUS304 stainless steel, this system provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance and a high-lustre finish that looks as good as it performs.
Designed for the turbocharged 2.0L K20C1 engine, the HKS Legamax exhaust features a 75mm main pipe diameter and a straight-through layout that significantly reduces exhaust back pressure compared to the factory system. HKS states that exhaust pressure is reduced by approximately 50% compared to the stock muffler, helping the turbocharger operate more smoothly from low RPM and supporting improved engine output across the full rev range.
As tuning levels increase, exhaust flow becomes even more important. The HKS Legamax Premium exhaust design is suitable for Civic Type R FK8 builds with engine outputs of up to 540PS, making it a strong upgrade for both street-driven cars and more serious performance builds.
The twin titanium tail tips give the rear of the FK8 a premium motorsport-inspired appearance while maintaining the refined character of the Legamax Premium range. The result is a high-quality exhaust system that improves sound, flow and appearance without making the car feel excessive for everyday driving.
This HKS Legamax Premium exhaust system is ECE/TUV approved, making it especially suitable for road use and certification in markets such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia and other European countries where homologation and approval documents are important.
