It will fit, almost any muffler will. It will also look nice, but it'll cost a lot to get one (unless you get it from someone who changed their RSX-S exhaust system) and the gains will be minimal.
If I can find someone who's willing to sell me theirs, I'll buy it because I think it looks nice.

I put a 02 civic SI muffler on mine. It fit, I just had to lengthen the two tubes coming out of it about 6 inches or so. No gains, but it seems to be a little smooter sounding (and I do mean a little). It just looks kind of nice. I'm kind of getting out of the whole bazooka muffler phase.

the rsx I dont see worthwhile.. sure it has a better looking tip.. but er..
the si one.. the dual tip one may look good.. but I duno how that fits with the bumper.
you cant go with the pipping up to the cat cuz I believe they have shorter mid pipes.

Why would you get it? I wouldn't pay for it. It might look nice, but you definately won't gain any massive amounts of hp. It looks nice though.

I think it looks nice but the black muffler from the DC5R looks better.
Even with an RSX, you won't gain "massive amounts of HP" either but you would get some gain depending on the exhaust and/or whether you have an intake with a good header. It's just an exhaust and you'd only gain "big" if you're pushin big #s within the engine.

having put a dc5 catback on the swap civic, i can tell you that after the hump over the rear axel you will need to splice in roughly 6in of piping. the SI and RSX rer overhangs are shorter than the civic. other than that, it should just about fir right.

Sorry guys, I don't have any pics with the SI muffler on. It looks okay, only problem is that the round indention on our cars is a little too small for the dual tips, so it hanhs a little lower than I would like. That's the reason I took it off. Anyone want to buy it? $50 anyone?

If you really want to see it on, I could put it on just for a pic. But only if you are really interested in buying it. Or maybe I'll just do it anyway this weekend because I'm bored and the weather won't allow me to go fishing.
