Pros
Manufacturers continually develop new and exciting products for the K20A engine that's shoehorned into the RSX Type-S's engine bay. For testing purposes, we gathered three of the most popular modifications for this powerplant with the intentions of making more horsepower.
Cons
There's little to complain about the Type-S's overall performance and handling. If there is anything to gripe about, it would be the stock appearance and overly quiet exhaust system-a problem easily solved after our powerpage.
Notes
Before conducting our powerpage, we gave our RSX an overall tune-up by changing the oil and spark plugs, and double-checking our ignition timing.
