Wake Up The Integra's Turbo Four With A Cleaner Exit Note
The B192-C192-C is a frontpipe back exhaust system built for the 2023 to 2025 Acura Integra. Using mandrel bent T304 stainless steel from the frontpipe connection through to the tips, the B192-C192-C increases exhaust flow over the factory system while giving the turbocharged Integra a sharper, more resonant exit note. Thermal R&D applies its True Helmholtz Technology to the B192-C192-C muffler to cut down on cabin drone at cruising speed without losing the aggressive character under throttle. The system finishes with black coated exhaust tips and bolts directly to the factory hanger locations, so there is no cutting or welding required for installation.

About Thermal R&D
Thermal R&D designs and builds its exhaust systems in Lancaster, California, focusing on flow gains and a controlled exhaust note rather than raw volume. The company's True Helmholtz Technology muffler tuning is used across its catback and frontpipe back lineups to reduce cabin drone at cruising speed while preserving an aggressive tone under acceleration. Every Thermal R&D exhaust system, including the B192-C192-C, carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty and is built from mandrel bent T304 stainless steel for long term corrosion resistance.

FAQ
What is the B192-C192-C?The B192-C192-C is Thermal R&D's frontpipe back exhaust system for the 2023-2025 Acura Integra, replacing the factory piping from the frontpipe connection back with mandrel bent T304 stainless steel and black coated tips.
Does the B192-C192-C fit the Integra Type S?The B192-C192-C is built around the standard 2023-2025 Integra's factory frontpipe connection point, so Integra Type S owners should confirm fitment with Thermal R&D before ordering, since the Type S uses a different turbocharged platform.
Does installing the B192-C192-C require any cutting or welding?No. The B192-C192-C connects at the factory frontpipe outlet and uses the OEM hanger locations, so no cutting or welding is required for installation.
Will the B192-C192-C trigger a check engine light or emissions code?No. The B192-C192-C retains the factory catalytic converter and does not alter any emissions componentry, so it should not trigger emissions related codes.
How much drone will I hear on the highway with the B192-C192-C?Thermal R&D tunes the B192-C192-C muffler with True Helmholtz Technology specifically to cancel the resonant frequencies that cause cabin drone, so most owners describe a controlled cruising tone with more character showing up under acceleration.
Can I install the B192-C192-C in my driveway, or do I need a shop?Most owners install the B192-C192-C at home with basic hand tools and a lift or jack stands, since it bolts to the factory hangers without cutting.
Does the B192-C192-C come with a warranty?Yes, the B192-C192-C is backed by Thermal R&D's lifetime manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What is the difference between the B192-C192-C and the polished tip version?Both systems use the same mandrel bent T304 stainless steel construction and Helmholtz muffler tuning. The B192-C192-C uses black coated tips, while the B192-C192 version uses polished stainless tips instead.
Install Instructions
- Allow the exhaust to cool fully, then raise the Integra on a lift or jack stands with adequate working clearance.
- Remove the factory exhaust system starting at the frontpipe connection, releasing the factory hanger isolators as you move toward the rear.
- Test fit the B192-C192-C frontpipe section at the factory connection point, leaving all clamps loose for adjustment.
- Route the remaining sections through the factory hanger locations, centering the black coated tips within the rear bumper opening.
- Adjust the tip alignment and overall system position before tightening any connections fully.
- Tighten all clamps to the specified torque, start the vehicle, and check every joint for leaks before returning it to service.
