this is exactly the sound my car has been making, i just posted a video today. but mine is at 1500rpms. PLEASE tell me you found out what was wrong with it. it's driving me CRAAAZY!
Tighten the heat shield. Happened on our 04 honda odyssey. Honda was going to charge us like 300 dollars but we went to a local mechanic and they fixed it for 20 bucks
Have you checked your plates around the Cat converter? I had a annoying rattle on my 2002 RSX at around 3,000rpm but later fixed that by tightening up a bolt to the heatshield underneath the car.
Do you issues with clearance with an aftermarket front strut bar? Or did you relocate your front license plate? Those were problems for me, but an easy fix
My G37 has the same sound pretty much. Did you fix yours?
I am going to dealership in next few days and mention loose heat shield to see if that fixes it.

Check the timing chain tensioner. Manual says nothing about it but they tend to fail around 100k easy part to replace. Hope that helps

It's most likely the FLEX GASKET in between your header downpipe and where the cat meet.. I have something similar , but not as bad as yours.
check that out..

maybe its a broken mount, cuz rsx come with weak stock motor mounts

No, everything is totally stock! The front license plate is actually not there (wasn't there when I bought the car).
