Obviously, a RSX shifter box will not fit under any of the above consoles, so here is how it works:

1. Use the pre-engineered template to guide you into cutting the center of your chassis tunnel. To ease the consumer, the Installation Instructions provide a procedure that enables confirmation of proper fitment of the mount before any cutting is performed.

2. Attach RSX cables (Base & Type S cables are identical) to a RSX style shifter box (neither included). Then bolt the shifter box to the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit. All hardware is provided with the kit to secure the shifter box to the mount; however, you will need to obtain the appropriate Honda/Acura hardware to fasten the cables to the shifter box and transmission.

3. Mount the assembly to the chassis and reinstall the console for that stealthy factory look.

Observe how snug the Karcepts Shifter Mounting Kit fits within the chassis tunnel. A lot of R&D went into creating a shape that contours the insides of the tunnel while providing the optimum mounting position.

4. For a completely sealed enclosure, use the supplied high temp silicone sealant to fill in any gaps or crevices. The sealant will prevent exhaust heat from transferring into your cockpit, eliminate any moisture or condensation, and inhibit any air noise or draft.

5. Run the cables under the chassis, into the engine bay, and attach them to an RSX or EP3 transmission.

This design also avoids any exhaust interferences when the factory exhaust height is maintained. Clearances between the bottom of the Shifter Mounting Kit and the top of most exhausts have been observed to be around 1.50 inches. If this dimension is less than 1.00 inch, the use of exhaust wrap around the piping under this area is required.
