What Next after Intake?
I have a 2002 type-s. Just put an injen rs-series cold intake in it. What would you suggest next to improve the performance besides an exhaust?

Exhaust is somewhat useless on a somewhat stock RSX.
The gains are very minimal, especially on 05+ RSXs so you're only buying it for sound and looks. Until you start pushing a lot more power you don't really need to spend that much money on an exhaust.
The best thing by far other than an intake is a Hondata ECU reflash. Combined with a CAI they make great gains and have a huge amount of praise for it amongst RSX owners. Then i'd get springs to improve handling greatly and the look, and then headers and then exhaust.
