Installed RSR... - Honda Prelude Forum

justanotherlude · 05-14-2004, 05:26 AM

So yesterday, I installed my RSR. Oh boy, that took forever. Though, I was having a hard time removing those plastic hangers. It was a direct bolt on to my SE Lude... I will be posting final pictures of it soon.

The exhaust sounds kind of bassy, So far so good. No complaints yet, hopefully it will get louder later.

Exactly. My RS*R has stayed pretty quite ever since I put it on. I have had it for somewhere around 3 years.

you mean... you WANTED a loud exhaust????

That's Great ryan! Get some new pics of your lude up =D

Ahh i got it for 477.46 from rpmmotoring.com. Pictures will be up soon. Probably will do a photo shoot tomorrow.

It will break in a but, but wont get loud. My Tanabe Hyper was very quiet after install, but slowly got a little louder. The sound of the Tanabe Hyper is about the same as an RSR.

hey was that exhaust free for shipping, or did you pay for shipping costs?

justanotherlude · 05-17-2004, 08:39 AM

It included shipping.

Hey, I always wonder if an RSR Exhaust will work with a SI Prelude. I know it's designed for VTec, but is there a way to make it work with an SI?

yohan420 · 05-17-2004, 12:48 PM

It'll work but the difference is the Vtec has a longer cat converter and maybe a bit more on the down/flex pipe ... not entirely sure.

You will need to modify the flange on the rear cat flange to line it up with the vtec exhaust , and the muffler wont protrude out off the bumper as far as it would on a vtec.

I've got a 4WS non-vtec w/ a greddy SP (made for vtec). My bumper rattles on my rear control arm .. is annoying, im in the midst of getting a carsound pipe put in.

I've had my RS*R on my Si for years. It bolted up like nothing.

Mine bolted up just fine as well.

Thanks guys, I'm planning on getting an RSR soon, glad to know there won't be any problems installing it.

Few Pictures installed with RSR ExMag Exhaust & WW Rear Lip.

Hope you like the pictures.

SolRayz · 05-17-2004, 08:43 PM

That RSR looks good. Ive been waiting for the chromed out RSR! Real hard to find but worth it IMO. Although like 4bidden Im thinkin about the Tanabe Hyper Medalion.

prelude styl · 05-18-2004, 02:00 AM

Whoa, Jer you have a THM? Psh, I thought I was the only prelude on the planet with one..... weird.

Seriously I've NEVER... EVER seen/heard about another prelude with a Hyper Medallion, let a lone a 4th gen. And I've only seen it on ONE other car before, a Teg. ... Always thought it was weird noone had the same exhaust as me.

I've always wondered what the sound difference is between a THM and a RS*R.

Preyluder · 05-18-2004, 06:31 PM

That exhaust looks Fabulous, especially with the WWRS kit. Can't wait to order my RS*r. I thought they were in the 550+ range for h23s though. Guess not?

TheBigB · 05-18-2004, 07:55 PM

Man the RS*R is expensive now, i got mine about 2 years ago for $135.
