The stock OEM 05-06 exhaust.
If you're lookin for just sound then aftermarket is the way to go. Performance wise you're only going to get maybe 1-2 hp more then the 05-06 exhaust.

Its like risktypeS said, you will barely gain anything on the dyno with an aftermarket exhaust over the 05-06 exhaust. Your money is better spend on something that will actually add some power. Maybe an RBC intake manifold or something to accompany your header.

No difference. I think some people use sport and race interchangeably. But really, it's a race header. The only other type of header would be a shorty header which doesn't delete the cat.

Of course everything on ebay is "JDM"
OP:
like i said before... keep the stock exhaust save money put that money towards something else that will make you faster unless you just want that sound difference.

If you want a sound difference, just go to a muffler shop and have them remove the last resonator off of the OEM b-pipe. That'll make the OEM exhaust sound a lot better.

If your going to be getting Kpro, then I would definitely leave the exhaust for later and just go with a race header and intake manifold. The intake manifold will really help out the top end in the rsx. People have been getting fairly large gains with the rbc intake manifold. Just remember you have to eat before you poop so I would work on the eating part first.

If all you want is the baaaaahhhhh then see if the Buddy Club Spec exhaust is made for the DC5 it will give you all of that you can get.
P.S. ClubRSX has some great info also! hint hint

i vouch for dc header and greddy evo 2. its not WAAAAAHHHHH loud. Just a nice low end rumble, tolerable noise on the highway too. To be honest...most of my sound comes from the injen sr intake.
