I have a 96 Civic EX 5 speed. I need to replace the rear muffler. The dealer quotes me at $174.00, which I find ridiculous. Ive seen prices in the $80 dollar range at web sites such as honda-auto-parts-wholesale.com. Are these guys reputable? Who is a good provider of OEM on-line parts at a discount?

 

I went to this place called Vallasqez and sons 40 bucks. It was local

 

best place IMO is a local junkyard cause you don't have to worry about shipping costs. where are you located at, u didn't put it in your profile? i'm not sure if you were talking about hondaautomotiveparts.com or somewhere else, but honda automotive parts is

 

why dont you just get an aftermarket one?

 

I guess getting an aftermarket one wouldn't not be a problem for me as long as I know it will have the same quality as the original.

 

Both HKS and 5Zigen make bolt on aftermarket mufflers that use your existing stock piping. Might want to browse www.optauto.com to get a glance at them.

 

hmmm, i love my magnaflow cat-back, gives it a nice purr, and growls when you startup

 

I've heard of people putting RSX mufflers on their 6th gens. Anyone know if they bolt the same or if they have them modded?

 

RSX muffler needs to be modified.

Just an FYI...you can use any 96-00 2 or 4 door rear section from any model including the Si.

They all bolt up.
