RSX-S Exhaust?
okay i tried searching everything under RSX but nothing comes up for what im looking for..... are the RSX ones a direct fitment to ours???? or would i just need axle back....thanks guys
you know whats funny? ive been looking into the EXACT same thing this past 2 months. from as far as i know, you can just buy the muffler itself and have it welded to our midpipe.

the rsx-s axle back wont fit. i had one, never used it. it's basically too short. it has the right bends in it, but the tip would sit a good 8 inches too short of the bumper tunnel.

[/IMG]thats my car and yes the axle back will fit. but like skipbarber said, the stock rsx exhaust tip ends about 6 inches short of the civic's bumper (for the coupe anyways). you'll have to get an extension welded onto the end.
I had the integra type-r one. Close to the same as the 05-06 rsx-s ones. It had a valve in it that opened up at higher rpms. Sound was great and not loud. Must be welded on. Different hangers on the actual muffler. Loved it until the swap happened.

the axleback exhaust from the rsx sounds stock, you wont notice anything different in terms of sound or performance.
i'm not sure if the type-r and the type-s (mine) is different, but i didnt have to weld anything. the rsx axleback bolts directly onto our stock midpipe and the hangers match up exactly too, it just falls short of the bumper.

why did you like it up until your swap happened? Was the buzzing sound of the exhaust at WOT beginning to annoy you or what?

^^ That looks just like the RSR. Looks great but if you got the cheddar..just get the RSR cause its bolt-on. BOth make noise.
The type-r ine was never loud enough to hear any raspiness.
i have the stock exhaust for an 06 civic si sitting in my room. I have been thinking about putting it on mine, but a few months ago when I inquired. Lots of members told me it would sound ricey..I am gonna either gonna sell it or attempt to modify it so i can slap it on my ride.

Well I apoligize for not be able to catch every single thread that has been posted on this site. I said that because I personally was not aware that this could be done, or that people have done this, and obviously (from some of the posts on this thread) others have felt the same way that I did. So that's why I am praising the thread starter, who brought this to attention for those of us who are just getting into modifying, or don't sit here and search back through the million pages on stuff we never knew about. Anyway, thanks on answering to this thread again because it looks like you have pulled off putting the RSX muffler on your ride, and as I had said before, it looks really good.

i see a lot of old members in this thread. civicpesek has been here since 01 and i havent ever seen him post. LOL.
^^^actually it was CONFIRMED that the 05-06 type S mufflers DID NOT have the valve.
Someone from clubrsx a while ago, chopped up this muffler to check it and it turns out that it did not have it. I would search for the thread, but i'm too lazy.
