RSX Catback Exhausts

[BRACETDC]

Hi all

Just wondering if a USDM RSX Catback Exhaust will fit an ADM DC5 Integra. Since it's catback I thought there wouldn't be any major differences but I emailed one supplier and he said the exhausts were designed for LHD only?

Has anyone imported and exhaust? Have any advice?

Cheers

Just to clarify - you're looking to get an aftermarket catback from an American supplier or you're looking to buy the stock catback off an USDM DC5?

I have a Skunk2 Megapower 60mm which is an american brand. You need to make sure the exhaust is for an RSX Type S. Mine was a Type-S which is the equivalent to ours here and it was a perfect fit for the catback...

LHD has nothing to do with it

Okay so a Type S is the equivalent of an Australian base model?

And yes looking to get an aftermarket 2.5" system

No, the RSX Type-S is the equivalent of our AUDM DC5R, not our AUDM Base DC5.

[BRACETDC]

Okay so is the RSX base the same as our AUDM base?

Can anyone confirm this?

[ggwpty]

Should be ... RSX is just what they called the DC5 integras.

02-04 RSX Type-S = AUDM DC5R
05-06 RSX Type-S = AUDM DC5S
And pretty sure all RSX Base = AUDM Base.

So do you have a base DC5 or the DC5R/S?

[BRACETDC]

I have a base DC5, just wondering what my best option is for catback upgrade.

They seem to be a lot cheaper in the states

[ggwpty]

Ah true ok. I'm fairly sure that if you want to run an aftermarket exhaust for DC5R/S on the base model you would have to have a Type R/S header or an aftermarket header because the aftermarket catback flange won't bolt up properly to the base model header. Unless you chop the flange from the cat and re-weld a flange that will bolt properly to the catback.

No, you misunderstand, I just wanted a US base model catback on my AU base model DC5, so will it just be a bolt on job?

What benefit would it b to you to change to an base rsx exhaust??

Would have thought u would go for a type s exhaust with a jdm/audm if u just wanted to free it up a little.

These parts are not very expensive to buy as type s/r owners upgrade there systems.

I think he means he wants to buy an aftermarket exhaust from the states because it's cheaper. So he now wants to know whether an aftermarket exhaust designed for a USDM DC5 Base model would fit an AUDM Base model?? That's what I'm getting from this A logical guess suggests it would mate, but I can't be 110% as I've obviously never done it myself.

Not really cheaper from the states.. Shipping cost for a catback exhaust kills you

Beg to differ, Skunk2 Exhaust shipped i saved at least 40% off some of the Australian stores id rather not mention

[BRACETDC]

^Yeah these were the exhausts I was looking at, and they are a far bit cheaper than anything I've seen here.

I do not want a standard exhaust of any kind. I'm after a 2.5" stainless aftermarket catback exhaust. I just wanted to know if the ones sold in the US for RSX base models will fit the AUDM base model.

dnapol is this what you did?
