RSX exhaust on Accord?

[cb7dazz]

I have a question can a catback from a RSX type-s be modified to fit our cars or is it too much of a hassle?

yes

i even installed one on a maxima

Its common sense....MY friend threw a 5th gen lude exhaust on his 4th gen lude...looks like the cars exhaust is on viagra in the back its too long.

Actually, the 4th gen prelude and base 5th gen share exhausts except for 1 hanger which needs to be moved. Some of the cheaper (i.e. eBay) exhausts are designed for the JDM cars. They had a shorter cat on them so the mid pipe is longer. The same goes for the SH 5th gen preludes... the mid-pipe is longer to clear the ATTS module.
That's beside the point though... with enough work you can make any exhaust you like fit any car you like. The question is, is it worth it?

IM pretty sure as you mentioned it is longer. His tip sticks out the back at least another 3in or so. I keep on telling him to cut it. Everything bolts on though. Its a Tsudo from ebay he bought it used from some member in PP i think.

wont the axle back from an RSX directly bolt on our axle back ? if anyone knowes pm or aim me.

the rsx muffler is very constricting. i was going to go with the muffler for the quietness but after i saw the picture of how bad the exhaust had to recirculate in the muffler to leave it, i'd be better off getting an aftermarket to get some performance.

someone on clubrsx sliced open his 05 rsx muffler, which is more flowing than the 02-04s and is closest to the type-r muffler



just save your money :P and get an es oval, better flowing than that thing. all you're paying for is the muffler tip...


and last i checked, the rsx piping is a little smaller than 2.25" its around 2" if not smaller.

EDIT:
Just realized this thread is uber old
