Daughter ripped off bottom on 17 civic
 
The car is so low. Anyways it looks like it is a heat shield. How long can this wait before I put another one back in?

that looks more like the engine splash guard/access panel for oil changes. Not a huge deal to leave it off, and they unfortunately don't sell it on its own. There are beefier aftermarkets out there, but they def run like $250.

oddly enough, they sell the Type R one by itself, and word on the street is it fits the non-Type R hatchbacks, and I'd guess it fits the other 1.5Ts in that case, but not too sure if it'd fit trims with the 2.0L non-turbo.

That is just a flexpipe, not the cat.
