SRS R60 Catback Exhaust System TÜV – Honda Civic EP2 (CBS-CV013D-R60)

Product Overview

The 7th-generation Sport model (EP2) shares the sporty styling and agile chassis dynamics of its legendary Type-R sibling, but its factory original equipment exhaust system acts as a severe structural bottleneck. The stock setup utilizes narrow, low-diameter pipe dimensions, restrictive chambered internal baffles, and heavy materials that suppress the engine’s power output and choke off its acoustic character.

The SRS R60 Catback Exhaust System TÜV – Honda Civic EP2 (CBS-CV013D-R60) is a premium, race-engineered exhaust upgrade that perfectly balances performance flow with daily road compliance. Available at JDMaster.net, this catback system is constructed entirely from high-grade SUS304 polished stainless steel and features a continuous mandrel-bent 60.5mm (2.38-inch) straight-through architecture. It maximizes exhaust gas velocity to optimize engine efficiency. Crucially, the system features a high-density acoustic dampening design that suppresses annoying cabin drone, carrying a complete TÜV certification for worry-free street legality across Europe.

Key Features & Benefits

• Official TÜV Certification Legality: Fully tested and approved under European noise and compliance standards, allowing you to drive legally on public roads without noise or inspection concerns.

• High-Grade SUS304 Stainless Steel: Fabricated entirely from aircraft-grade, industrial-polished stainless steel to deliver superior resistance against corrosion, rust, road salt, and harsh thermal cycles.

• Mandrel-Bent 60.5mm Piping: Continuous, smooth-wall mandrel bending maintains a perfectly uniform internal diameter throughout, maximizing exhaust scavenging and eliminating flow restrictions.

• Acoustically Tuned Straight-Through Silencer: Outfitted with a signature straight-through core and an elegant polished 100mm tip, producing a deep, sporty exhaust note without annoying low-RPM cabin drone or boominess.

• Significant Weight Reduction: Considerably lighter than the bulky, multi-chambered factory original equipment setup, trimming dead weight from the rear axle to sharpen cornering agility.

• Direct Bolt-On Layout: Precision CAD-aligned heavy-duty flanges and factory-positioned mounting hangers ensure a seamless installation using original original chassis mount locations.

The Mechanical Advantage: Unlocking Volumetric Flow Within Legal Limits

While the 1.6L VTEC D16V1 powerplant is highly appreciated for its daily reliability and fuel economy, its exhaust stroke benefits massively from a reduction in parasitic backpressure. The original factory exhaust forces hot gases through tight press-bends and a series of internal baffle walls inside the rear muffler to keep the car quiet. This design creates a backup of thermal energy and positive pressure, forcing the engine to work harder to push exhaust out, which robs you of usable throttle response and mid-range torque.

The SRS R60 Catback System corrects this performance barrier. By transitioning to a smooth 60.5mm straight-through corridor, it removes internal restrictions entirely. As exhaust pulses flow unimpeded through the mandrel bends, they create a powerful low-pressure vacuum behind them (scavenging effect) that actively pulls remaining exhaust out of the cylinders—drawing a cleaner, denser fuel mixture into the engine for the next combustion stroke.

To achieve official TÜV certification without sacrificing this high-velocity flow, SRS engineers utilized high-density acoustic packing wrapped around a perforated inner core rather than power-robbing baffle walls. This architecture absorbs low-RPM boominess and high-frequency rasp, providing a daily-driveable cabin experience while delivering an authoritative tone when you hit the gas.
