DC Sports Short Ram Intake - 2002-2006 Acura RSX Base (SRI6515)
If you want more intake sound and snappier throttle response out of your RSX Base without hacking up the car, the DC Sports Short Ram Intake does exactly that. It opens up the induction noise, sharpens how the car responds when you get into the throttle, and still fits like a factory part. It's also fully 50-state C.A.R.B. legal, so you can run it on a daily driver and pass inspection without swapping parts back and forth.
How It Breathes
The kit is built around smooth mandrel-bent aluminum tubing paired with a DC Sports high-flow air filter. Airflow opens up compared to the restrictive stock airbox, so your K-series breathes easier and comes to attention faster when you roll into the throttle. You'll notice better part-throttle response and a deeper, more aggressive intake tone when VTEC comes on, without turning your commute into a drone-filled headache. The filter placement is sensible for street use, so underhood heat stays manageable in normal driving.
Reusable Filter
The DC Sports filter is a high-flow, cleanable, reusable unit. You service it with standard filter cleaner instead of buying a throwaway filter every service interval, so it pays for itself over time.
Direct Bolt-On
Installation is straightforward. The kit comes with all the brackets, hardware, and couplers you need, and it mounts to the factory points, so there's no cutting, no drilling, and no trip to the hardware store. With basic hand tools you can swap the stock airbox for this intake in an afternoon. We run this same setup on our own cars, so everything from the brackets to the couplers lines up the way it should.
