CLEIB ORIGINAL RACING MUFFLER 80MM FRONT PIPE SET FOR HONDA CIVIC TYPE R FL5 CLEIB-00002

Here are the top technical advantages of the CLEiB Original Racing Muffler 80 mm + front pipe set (CLEIB‑00002) for the Honda Civic Type R FL5:

Key Technical Benefits:

1. Large‑bore 80 mm stainless 304 piping

• The significantly increased diameter (from stock ~60 mm to 80 mm) dramatically reduces exhaust back‑pressure, helping the K20C1 make more power and rev more freely at high RPMs  .
• Constructed from SUS 304 stainless steel, it offers superior corrosion resistance and durability over cheaper materials  .

2. Single-muffler layout with front pipe included

• The straight-through, single muffler design simplifies the system and ensures a smooth exhaust flow path.
• The inclusion of a front pipe means full-flow optimization from the downpipe back, eliminating typical choke points between stock front pipes and aftermarket cat-backs.
• On the FK8 equivalent, the setup is praised for combining flow efficiency with aggressive sound.

3. Handmade precision & fitment

• Fabricated in Japan by CLEiB’s founders, the entire system is handcrafted for exact fitment, clean welds, and a high-quality finish.

4. Aggressive, track-focused exhaust tone

• The straight‑through design and large diameter deliver a pronounced sporty sound and induction tone, especially when the valve opens (WOT).
• Users often report a richer, deeper note compared to the flatter, bass-heavy stock system.

5. Lightweight, low back-pressure setup

• Removing restrictive resonators and using single-canister design lowers weight and exhaust restrictions simultaneously, improving throttle response and power delivery.

Performance Takeaways

Power and response

• The larger-bore stainless pipe improves flow, resulting in sharper throttle response and stronger high-RPM performance thanks to reduced back-pressure.

Sound characteristics

• Expect a sport-tuned roar with more bark and pops under gear-shifts and valve modulation. It may sacrifice a degree of mid-range resonance for a sharper tone overall.

Fitment and reliability

• Quality craftsmanship ensures bolt-on installation (keeping factory location for the valve), robust durability, and sleek weld quality.

**The verdict.

1. The CLEiB CLEIB‑00002 is a premium, race-oriented exhaust system tailored for the FL5 Type R. With its 80 mm stainless steel construction, full-flow design and aggressive sound profile, it delivers measurable performance and a standout tone. 

2. Best suited for enthusiasts who prioritize track capability and bold acoustic presence, it’s a flawless upgrade—just be ready for a louder ride and some highway drone.
