So my muffler just rusted out. Actually, the pipe that is welded direct to the muffler rusted out and it broke clean. So I'm without a muffler and it's loud as hell. I went to manhonda.com and an OEM one is $130. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm not looking for noise or totally redoing the cat back. Just the axle back.

I also measured the opening and it is only 1 3/4 inches wide. Just in case someone wanted to know.

Why don't you get an aftermarket one? It'd be stainless steel so it'd hold up quite a bit longer than your OEM one did.

How much was that and was it just an ez bolt on? Oh, and where would I get one. I looked on manhonda.com and I can get an OEM Civic one for $130. The local Honda dealer quoted me $190.

Well I bought it from a local guy here for $100 bucks. It was 100% bolt on since I have GReddy catback. Check on ebay, there's a guy that's selling them brand new with warranty for like $130

Ok, so I get under the car and start to try to get the bolts off from the axle back. I sprayed some WD-40 on it earlier to soak. I then went at it and it was still frozen. So I put all I could into it and it began to move. Then all of a sudden SNAP! I broke the fawking bolt in half and the nut is still frozen on the other side! I'm gonna have to bring it to a shop to get it out and the muffler installed. Something that was supposed to be easy just got complicated. Damn rusted bolts.

for that one that is stuck just soak it in wd40 and let it sit for a while then tr and get it out. i that fails get something that actually breaks down the rust so that you can get that bad boy out.
