Invidia 02-06 RSX Type-S Q300 Polished Tip Cat-Back Exhaust Reviews

Nice deep sporty tone on outside, when inside the car it sounds louder from my engine and the exhaust kinda drones but maybe because I have the trunk all gutted so probably have none of that trunk interior stuff to help keep the road noises out. I did have plm head installed with it. The plm header gave fitment issues, so I got the plm test pipe cut on both ends and flipped the pipe and reweld. Onto the axle back part, if you hear a knock on the back of your car, chances are that the axle back is hitting the frame of car, the axle back has 2 hangers and one hanger you can see it literally leaning against the car frame. So I took coolant hose, cut small piece to wrap around the hanger which makes contact with the frame. Worked out good and zip ties so it won

Shout out kseriesparts for always being the best plug for my rsx-s. The exhaust is beautiful. Invidia has done some quality work on this. My initial thoughts were wow this is bigger than I thought. The muffler is huge, bigger than stock I think. The test pipe and resonator are A1 quality. Comes with all the hardware (bolts/gaskets). Now for the sound; I'm gonna be honest, it's a lot quieter and less aggressive than I expected so I was a little disappointed. I wanted a quiet exhaust bc I hate people who have loud exhausts but their car is slow af. Didn't want to attract unwanted attention from cops and ricers. I knew this was going to be a quiet exhaust but not stock quiet. It literally sounds just like stock but noticeably a little louder and way more bass. Low tone rumble. And when you hit VTEC, it doesn't scream as loud as others have said. The only other mod I have is injen sri and I can hear that more during VTEC. Now don't be discouraged bc I am inside the cabin so I don't know how loud it is outside. Inside the cabin there is no drone at all but you can hear the low tone bass rumble of the exhaust. At idle on a red light, you can barely hear it. The common problem of the muffler hanger hitting the body of the car is still alive and real. When you hit a big bump on the road it will bang against the body. I fixed this by wrapping a hose around the hanger so it acts as a bumper for it. So I am hoping when I buy a header it'll be a little louder. My final thoughts are: yes it is a great exhaust. I gave it 4 stars because it's over priced for sounding similar to stock but just more bass and obviously a little louder. HP gains? Maybe idk I can't tell but I can feel the car flows better. Can't really tell until I get a header and tune. So if you want a quiet exhaust that's a little louder and deeper tone than stock this is the one.

Love this CAT Back. Not so loud and ricey sometimes forget it's even there. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is you would think by now they would know they welded the hanger wrong. Like everyone one else I used high temp hose and zip ties to stop the rattle.

Love this exhaust it's really quiet! I honestly forget that I even have an exhaust. I wish it'll come with hangers for the price but it's all good no fitment issues at all but I had a rattle at the back but it was an easy fix

I went from skunk2 R t this and it is a lot quieter, my neighbors love me for that lol. This exhaust is well rounded and cant go wrong especially with race header because at normal cruise it very mellow and doesn't create un wanted attention.

I love the sound that this exhaust makes, I can't wait to pair it with a new header soon. My only complaint is it sounds as if its hitting the under body of the car and makes a rattle type noise (normally happens at lower speeds). I just read a post that if you cover some parts (areas likely to be causing the rattle noise) in high heat rubber the noise goes away.

From the moment this thing showed up on my door step and i opened it i fell in love! Great welds and nice flange. My only complaint is a thumping sound that im hpping my MMI will fix!
