Upgrading the Type-R with Powerflex

The Honda Civic Type R is built for drivers who actually enjoy driving. With its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and six-speed manual, it’s all about precision, control, and performance. But as these cars age—or get driven hard—the factory rubber exhaust mounts can become a weak link.

Over time, OE rubber mounts soften and deteriorate, allowing excess exhaust movement. This can lead to sagging, knocking noises, and in extreme cases, the exhaust contacting the chassis or road surface. Not exactly ideal for a car designed to be pushed.

Powerflex fixes this with high-performance polyurethane exhaust mount upgrades designed to outperform the original rubber parts. They’re engineered to control exhaust movement under load, reduce unwanted flex, and withstand heat and harsh conditions far better than OE rubber.

Designed for Type R owners who demand more.

While the focus here is very much on the FK8, Powerflex’s latest exhaust mount range also covers:

  • Civic Type R FK2 2.0T (2015–2017)

  • Civic Type R FK8 2.0T (2017–2021)

  • Civic Type R FL5 2.0T (2023 onwards)

Available parts include:

  • P/N EXH044 Exhaust Mount

  • P/N EXH045 Exhaust Mount

  • P/N EXH046 Exhaust Mount

Whether your FK8 is a daily driver or a track-day car, upgraded exhaust mounts deliver tighter control, improved durability, and long-term peace of mind. Backed by Powerflex’s Lifetime Warranty, this is a true fit-and-forget upgrade.
