The Integra Type S delivers a spirited driving experience from the factory, yet many owners look to upgrade its exhaust for added horsepower and torque gains, a more refined exhaust note, and a sportier overall feel. Below is an overview of what to expect when browsing our collection of Integra Type S Performance Exhausts.
Why Choose a Performance Exhaust for Your Integra Type S
-
Power Output
Less restrictive piping can help the engine breathe more efficiently, often resulting in noticeable increases to horsepower and torque. -
Improved Sound
Many drivers prefer a deeper, more aggressive exhaust tone that matches the car’s sporty character without creating excessive cabin noise. -
Durable Construction
Most performance exhausts feature stainless steel or titanium materials, helping them resist corrosion and maintain reliability over time.
Performance Gains
Manufacturers engineer their exhaust systems to reduce backpressure and streamline airflow. Depending on your setup, you may see modest dyno-proven power increases at various RPM ranges. When paired with supporting modifications—such as an upgraded intake or engine tuning—these exhausts can boost throttle response and deliver a livelier driving feel.
Design and Materials
-
Mandrel-Bent Tubing
Ensures consistent diameter throughout each bend, maintaining optimal airflow and preventing bottlenecks. -
High-Quality Welding
Superior welds offer both structural integrity and a clean finish, minimizing the risk of leaks or cracks under heat and vibration. -
Stainless Steel or Titanium
Materials designed to resist rust and withstand the high temperatures generated by the Type S engine.
Refined Sound
Many owners value a tone that complements the Integra Type S personality. Performance exhausts typically provide a deeper, throatier growl under acceleration while keeping drone manageable at cruising speeds. Actual loudness varies by brand and design, so consider your daily driving habits and local noise regulations when making a choice.
Street and Track Advantages
-
Reduced Weight
Performance systems often weigh less than stock components, aiding balance and acceleration. -
Cooler Exhaust Temperatures
Lower backpressure can reduce heat build-up, which may benefit engine reliability during track sessions. -
Potential for Future Upgrades
A freer-flowing exhaust can serve as a foundation for other engine modifications like a high-flow downpipe or engine tune.
Installation Tips
Most systems in our collection offer a direct bolt-on design, reusing factory mounting points and hardware. For best results, read the manufacturer’s instructions thoroughly, use fresh gaskets, and ensure the exhaust sits correctly to avoid vibrations or leaks. If you are not comfortable with DIY, consider professional installation to maintain fitment and alignment.
Choosing the Right Exhaust
-
Brand and Reputation
Established brands often feature consistent build quality and reliable dyno testing. -
Desired Tone
Each design produces its own signature exhaust note, so pick one that suits your taste for volume and character. -
Budget and Materials
Stainless steel offers a long-lasting option at a mid-range price, while titanium can reduce weight further at a higher cost.
Whether you’re seeking a modest gain in horsepower or an exhaust note that complements the Integra Type S’s dynamic attitude, our selection of Integra Type S Performance Exhausts covers various budgets and preferences. Browse our collection to find a system that delivers the power, sound, and quality your build deserves.
