Do these sound any different at all then the stock civic muffler. I dont want a loud exhaust and i herd the rsx axel backs are pretty close to fitting. They also look pretty nice as well.

RSX Type S You can check my post and pics on the Type S exhaust i have installed in my car. The exhaust is as loud as the stock civic exhaust.

so the rsx axel back fit onto stock b-pipe? or aftermarket b-pipe? Im wondering the same, I just need to know If I need the stock b-pipe cuz I still want to use my greddy-bpipe and the stock axelback so people wont think I have exhaust especially the cops.

So the whole cat back fits, it just needs to be extended a little?

if you want to use your greddy b-pipe you might need to modify the flange of the muffler or the b-pipe. The flange joining the RSX Type S muffler and b-pipe are flexible type flange( the one with springs), while some aftermarket exhausts use the fixed type flange(just bolts with no springs). You can use either the greddy muffler flange or the RSX B-pipe flange to match them. All you have to do is cut one of them and well the matching flange in the other part.

Here are two pics showing the differences between the civic and the RSX Type S Tip. The tip diameter of the civic is 1.75" while the RSX S tip is 2.5", just the tip, not the whole exhaust piping. Also you can see where the stock b-pipe front flange goes for EX, DX/LX and Type S. othe than those two modifications, the exhaust fits perfectly. It sounds almost like stock, mostly because both the resonator and the muffler are bigger on the RSX as well as the piping.

Would anyone know if an 05 Type-S fit on an 02? Is there a difference at all?

Not at all, quite simple and less expensive than a full cat-back of a known brand.

The shape of the exhaust system is basically the same, I think the 2005 Type S has the same as the Type R. It has something in the rear muffler(EXUP-type Valve) to help a bit in the lower revs.

you will pay out the *** for the 05 muffler however, kids want about 100+ shipping for them because they are high demand. They also sell very fast.

Still much cheaper than an aftermarket exhaust, even with modifications done at a muffler shop and if it's the same as the Type R, it must be a very good exhaust.

that's what i'm doing fellas. getting me an 05 type s muffler IMO it's just like getting a rs*r muffler.

 
Rep Power: 301

in the second pic did you have to extend the tip or something?

05 look and sound so much better. Work at Acura anyhow! Discounts baby!

Yes, the tip has to be extended, so it match the civic bumper. The RSX is a bit shorter than the civic, that's why you see a weld in the marked aea, where the RSX was and where the Civic is now. The Chrome Tip can be unbolted and relocated in the new pipe extension.

I think the one oem muffler that looks most like the rs*r is the toyota solara hard top v-6 muffler. I work at a toyota dealership and these things look just like the rs*r. I think thats what im going to end up getting.

I acutally ended up getting the full rsx cat back....i think ill do a cherry bomb res instead of the stock rsx one and get a extention made from my ex header to it. No cat and a cherry bomb should sound great

 
Rep Power: 301

nice should sound great.

Rep Power: 281
