Acura utilized a series of baffled plastic resonators and a constrained, corrugated rubber intake hose that introduces significant air turbulence. This localized turbulence, combined with the inherently restrictive paper panel filter, stifles the upper RPM breathing capabilities of the high-revving K20 engine. As a result, the K-series engine suffers from muted VTEC crossover acoustics and delayed throttle response during spirited driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis DC Sports short ram intake remedies factory restrictions by utilizing a smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe that significantly reduces aerodynamic drag within the induction tract. By straightening the airflow path and replacing the dense paper element with a washable, high-flow performance air filter, this system maximizes the volume of ambient air delivered to the throttle body. The aluminum construction ensures rigid durability, while the precision-engineered brackets prevent vibration without requiring core support modifications. Operating under C.A.R.B. EO# D-370-15, it delivers a pronounced, aggressive induction note and sharper throttle transitions while keeping your RSX emissions-compliant in all 50 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eK20A2, K20Z1 \/ DC5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e200-210 hp \/ 142-143 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eSRI6514\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2002 Acura RSX Type-S (2.0L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003 Acura RSX Type-S (2.0L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004 Acura RSX Type-S (2.0L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005 Acura RSX Type-S (2.0L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006 Acura RSX Type-S (2.0L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Acura Performance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a platform as celebrated as the DC5, unlocking the true acoustic and performance potential of the K-series engine is essential.
