If you want more intake sound and snappier response out of your RSX without hacking up the car, this DC Sports Short Ram Intake for the 2002–2006 Acura RSX Base checks all the boxes. It turns up the induction noise, sharpens throttle response, and still fits like factory. On top of that, this Acura RSX DC Sports intake is fully 50-state C.A.R.B. legal, so you can daily it and pass inspection without swapping parts.
Whether you’re hunting for a 02 RSX ram intake, 03 Acura RSX intake kit, 04 RSX performance intake, 05 RSX aluminum intake, or 06 RSX air intake system, this single DC Sports RSX performance kit fits every 2002–2006 RSX Base model. We run this same DC Sports intake Acura RSX setup on our own cars, so everything from the brackets to the couplers actually lines up the way it should.
The heart of the kit is smooth mandrel-bent RSX aluminum tubing intake paired with a DC Sports high flow air filter RSX owners can clean and reuse. Airflow opens up compared to the stock airbox, so your K-series breathes easier and snaps to attention 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 drone city.
The 05 RSX aluminum intake layout keeps filter placement reasonable for street use, so heat stays manageable in normal driving. It’s a simple RSX base intake upgrade that adds some character and a bit more punch, while still keeping drivability and reliability where you want them for a daily.
Install is straightforward: this RSX short intake kit comes with all the brackets, hardware, and couplers you need for a direct bolt-on. No cutting, no drilling, no weird trips to the hardware store. With basic hand tools you can swap your stock box for this short ram intake Acura RSX setup in an afternoon. The RSX reusable air filter cleans up with standard filter cleaner, so you’re not buying throwaway filters every service interval.
If you’re after a clean, honest RSX base intake upgrade that gives you more sound, better response, and a tidy engine bay, this aluminum intake RSX base kit does exactly that.
