It doesn't matter with the weight difference. The rsx base would get it every time. 5 spd ex is no comp sorry to say. It won't even get it if it has i/h/e.

intake doesnt do shiet. and it DOESNOT add 8.9hp. along with exhaust and header setup. you will get 5-10 max out of I/H/E on d17

Rep Power: 0 This is the way I see it. Yeah on an ex you put on an i/h/e you might get about the actual 130 horses at the wheels, and about 115 torque if that. On an rsx you have about 141 horses at the wheels and then about 135 torque. So I still think the ex would need a little more.

Well actually if you look at the dynos on the AEM website, they have a 2001-2003 civic with a cold air with a peak gain of 8.9. That was the first thing I checked when I read his post.

Rep Power: 0 it does make a difference. he gained 15hp top, which would put him at something like 120 at the wheels. vs 140 at the wheels and more torque on the RSX, sorry, he'd pull no problemo.

Rep Power: 0 base rsx's are slow in case u didnt notice, be it stick or auto, a civic with i/h/e could definitely pull on that car, i know, cause ive done it, plenty of times, there heavy, thats all there is to it!

What's next? Soon you're gonna be telling me that you beat focus svts, mustangs, and 350zs
just because they're "heavy as hell" and your civic is a lightweight, nimble, acceleration monster.
Why do so many members here claim that the 7thgen is faster then the 6th gen, when in fact, horsepower output is the same and the 6th gen is lighter? From what I've heard, the 6th gen even responds better to mods.
Plus I've yet to see any member here post a dyno of your cars with I/H/E gaining more than 6whp, so please don't bull$hit yourself...

Rep Power: 0 haha i started this post as a test becasue i just wanted to see if people get the impression that the rsx is fast or not. since it is just as fast as the EP civic si. From reading a prior post most members of this site thought that they could beat an si, so i wanted to see if the rsx's appereance changed their opinions.
i'd also like to extended a challenge to any one in the seattle area with a 7th gen civic who wants to challenge a civic si, or a base rsx because RSXTC has a base rsx and i have an si and we'll settled this argument once and for all vs a natuarly aspirated d17

Rep Power: 0 sorry but i still stand by my opinion on the ex 5spd won't beat a rsx or a civic si, even with i/h/e. You never know it might be close but i doubt that still.
