i know this has been asked before and there was a video of it, but the video no longer works (won't load for me on youtube).

someone had the jdm itr on their 7th gen and it looked really nice, but i can't seem to find them for sale anywhere. and which year of rsx type-s should i go for? i found an 02, but not sure if i should get it.

the JDM ITR sounds nice...it has a valve that opens up at higher rpm,but its still pretty quite. get an 05-06 RSX-S axleback. They have bigger diameter piping and overall better sound.

Video works when i try it. I almost sourced out a used 8th gen HFP muffler for a cheap price, but someone beat me to it. Im still wondering how that will sound on a 7th gen.

yeah... thats my car with the si exhaust. its okay.... got tired of it after about a year. sounds good cruising but in high rpm's, the rasp is terrible. i tried adding a glasspack muffler as a resonator to quiet it down but it still has some rasp to it. i got the exhaust for free so it didnt bother me to much. i should have never took out the resonator though. im looking into getting the obx twin loop exhaust... im not sure yet.

it's odd. still no luck with the video. im logged into youtube. other videos play fine, but i cannot load any of sk8erelemnts' videos. i just get the dots going around in circles repeatedly.

ok, i just remembered to use keepvid to download the mp4... yeah, i don't like the sound.

i have it on my 04 and the rasp is bad
i don't like it

so i bought the 05 type s axle back. wow the tip is big (compared to mine). if i bring it to a muffler shop, will they know how to weld it on? or...

if they don't, i don't think they will be in business very much longer. I am pretty sure with the type s axle back they are going to have to extend the piping a few inches. they will know what to do

does anybody have a video or sound clip of what the rsx axle back sounds like?

yingjai

i'll make one of an 05 type s on 7th gen when i get mine on. you can find videos of the rsx exhaust on an rsx on youtube though.

yingjai

so anyway, i got it put on today. there isn't much sound. sounds even quieter on a 7th gen than on an rsx. there is a little rumble when you go wot which is louder than stock 7th gen muffler but that's it. at least it isnt raspy like 06 si. i used my old digital camera to record the video, so the sound quality isn't that good.

where is the video? is it on youtube? also for those that ran the si exhaust. i actually do think it sound that bad but the raspiness does that come from the fact that you removed the resinator or just the type of exhuast?

Not much sound. Is there a break in period for stock exhausts? Mine only had 10,000 kms on it.
