if you get kpro and get your car tuned, you will see the difference, kpro will also get rid of the o2 CEL popping up, that or defouler

You must have a si. If you do, the reflash is just plug and play. If youre putting the stock exhaust back on your gonna feel a difference. K's like to breath so the bigger diameter in the exhaust the faster your car goes.

The mufflers that come stock on the RSX/EP3 are pretty free-flowing. The OEM B-pipe is where the restriction is. Buy a 05-06 RSX-S B-pipe. Be powerful and silent.

It still amazes me why folks replace perfectly good OEM parts with aftermarket crap that doesn't do anything for power.

And yes. stop typing in all caps. That's a good way to get your post locked.

just the b section exhaust because it is larger diameter.

Incase you dont know
A=Exhaust Manifold(Header)
B=Mid section exhaust
C=Muffler
