Thermal R&D B183-C183 Catback and Frontpipe Exhaust — 2016+ Honda Civic Hatchback Sport 1.5T
The Thermal R&D B183-C183 is a complete catback and frontpipe exhaust system for the 2016+ Honda Civic Hatchback Sport with the 1.5L turbocharged engine. Engineered and manufactured in Lancaster, California from T304 stainless steel, the B183-C183 routes a full exhaust path from the turbo outlet all the way back to the dual polished tips, eliminating the restrictive factory front pipe and catback in one bolt-on package. Thermal R&D's patented Helmholtz resonator technology keeps the interior quiet at cruising speeds while the system delivers a sport-tuned, vocal exhaust note under acceleration.
The B183-C183 is designed specifically for the Hatchback Sport variant of the 10th generation Civic with the 1.5T engine. All connection points match the factory dimensions for a straightforward bolt-on installation.
