  1. Problems & Solutions RSX
    The noise happens when between 1700-1900 rpms, only when I hit the accelerator. My catalytic converter does sound like it has a marble in it if I hit it while working under the car so maybe that's it? But weird it would be at certain intervals of load. Tell me if I'm heading in the right direction.

    Hi all, I just installed the Invidia Q300 catback yesterday. The pipe between the resonator and the cat is hanging too high, almost touching/touching the heat shield between the chassis and the pipe. I can't even put a piece of radiator hose between them. The exhaust rattles like crazy when...

    Hello, I've got an '03 RSX type S and I recently started hearing a hollow rattling from my exhaust system, I looked into the muffler and it's pretty apparent that its internals are rusted away.

  12. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I got my RSX two weeks ago, and have been hearing this noise from underneath the car when I have the windows open. All I know is that this often happens when I'm going really slow, and I'm not sure if turning the car increases the chance of the noise coming up. I recorded a few short(10...

    I recently installed a new axel back exhaust and the new spring bolts I got from NAPA auto parts will not stop rattling at all.
