Well as a Christmas present to myself, and after a few instant messages, I will be phoning ABP in the morning to book in my FN2 for next week for a Milltek sports exhaust and some PIAA sidelights!
Will post some videos once fitted!
Great Mod, I was just curious did you go for the resonated or non-resonated option? Looks like you kept the triangular endcaps... good choice. Cheers.

Indeed... It's the louder, non-resonated noise with discreet fitting behind existing triangle exits. ABP did a superb job fitting it.

People are often looking at the back of the car whilst scratching their heads!
All that lovely sports exhaust rumble, but where's the huge tailpipes?!

I am sure my YouTube video explains why I get those looks...

Nice one, it sounds awesome. I've heard a lot of good things about ABP. When I finally get my new civic that mod might be on the cards.

Well im very pleased with it!
The whole point of hot hatches is that people turn to look... and they certainly do!
Next on my list of mods will be the camber adjustment.

As i live in Nantwich, i have seen and heard the "208 ABP" plated CTR. It sounds Fantastic. I have also seen the Youtube footage, see the attached links.

Well Done ABP for producing this unique system.

I agree. It went past me while i was waiting to pull out of the local Morrisons and it was a lovely sound. Got my window down just in time.

I want to change mine but the car is too new and i think i'll be stupid to throw away a 5 year warranty on the standard exhaust. I'll maybe leave it for a couple of years then get it.

Are you sure the warranty covers the exhaust?? I know it'll be covered against a defect in manufacture, but not wear and tear. Honda's warranty is part specific.

What I mean is this..... If you change the exhaust you won't invalidate the warranty on your electric windows if they stop working. But if you blow up your engine and it's directly attributable to the exhaust sytem then no warranty on the engine.

Don't think it is just for Type R's. The exhaust surely will fit on the Type S too.
Only ABP can confirm that.

I'm lead to believe the exhaust has a seperate warranty for 5 years, but not sure on the mileage. I'll have to check my manual.

Might sound daft but do you do anything for the diesel with regards to exhaust and/or air filter?
