What is the main difference between this and a muffler delete?

A muffler delete simply removes the factory muffler, often resulting in a very loud and sometimes raspy sound. This HKS Hi Power system is a full cat-back replacement, including optimized piping and a designed muffler, which aims for a more refined and aggressive tone, especially with the included silencer.

Does this exhaust system include a catalytic converter?

No, this is a cat-back exhaust system. It replaces the exhaust components from the catalytic converter back to the tailpipe. The factory catalytic converter is retained and remains in place.

What is SUS304 stainless steel and why is it used?

SUS304 is a type of stainless steel known for its excellent strength and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for exhaust systems that are exposed to heat and moisture. This particular system uses it without any coating, offering the natural, durable finish of the material.

Product Details

This is the HKS Hi Power cat-back exhaust system specifically made for the 2002-2003 Acura RSX Base model, which is the non-Type S version. If you're looking to change the sound and performance of your RSX's exhaust, this system replaces the factory muffler and piping from the catalytic converter back. It's designed to give your car a more aggressive exhaust note while potentially improving exhaust flow.

The system is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, a well-regarded material for exhaust components because it's strong and resists corrosion well, especially since this particular finish has no coating. This means you're getting the natural look and durability of the stainless steel. It includes a silencer, which you can install if you want to reduce the exhaust volume for quieter cruising or to meet local noise regulations. The piping diameter is optimized for the RSX Base model to help with exhaust gas scavenging, which can lead to a more responsive feel from the engine.

When installing a cat-back system like this, you'll typically be unbolting your old exhaust from the catalytic converter and bolting the new system in its place. It's a popular choice for RSX owners looking for a noticeable change in their car's sound and a more performance-oriented exhaust note. Make sure to check local regulations regarding exhaust noise levels and emissions equipment before installation.
