My car is gettin annoying with the fart can now...and i cant afford a muffler,...BUT I found my girlfriends old car muffler in the shack out back...Its a stock muffler off of a 96 civic. Will it fit the cb7? or whats my best way out of this? how can i make it fit? or will the junk yard take a trade? im really hatin my exhaust rite now bcuz i leave the house at 4:25 in the morning and its attractin way too much attention. Thanks guys

[sleepygreen]

i mean,...will it bolt-on...dats what i meant.

[cb7emokid]

no the cbs longer then any civic made...you would have to have a muffler shop made you a new piping...

[cvc7chris]

you can have my OLD stock lx muffler if you pick up i guess it's just sitting out back

[Flatline]

just chop that bitch off....


at least it will be an improvement


you can probably get one for pretty cheap... or look at getting a silencer.

Cherry Bomb Turbo II. $16.99 at AutoZone.

But im biased.

In all honesty, chop the pipe off right behind the muffler and you can put it on anything you want.

Yea i got a cherry bomb turbo on my wagon, I had on a flowmaster and it was just way too loud and annoying, I used the pipe that came with the dronemaster and bent up and welded on my own hanger, if I can do it, anyone can.

This "Cherry Bomb Turbo", how does it sound? Quiet, loud, throaty, raspy, etc.?

Edit: Is it the same cherry bomb everybody in the world has on their F150/Tundra/Explorer/Grand Cherokee?

It is quiet and a bit throaty, but don't take my word, I haven't driven my car in almost 3 weeks. I do recommend it, its awesome.

Well, it's $80 for a new muffler from a good parts store (not Honda muffler, but good aftermarket one designed specifically for the accord.
Add $10 for fasteners, a gasket, and some time and frustration and you're golden.--except for the part of removing the old fasteners, which is often a bear.
If you reallycan't afford that right now, i'd go see if if you can hang the Civic muffler on your accord,, measure the amount of extra pipe you'll need, then bring it in to a muffler shop and have them connect it with piping. But honestly, I'd be surprised if you saved a whole lot by doing that. Call them up, run it by, them, and get a quote and decide.


Make sure it's just the muffler that's the problem. sometimes there can be gaps/breaks in the exhaust piping near the exhaust flange that connects the intermediate pipe and the muffler pipe. Feel up around the top there between the pipe and the car and make sure there are no gaps before you waste a lot of time on the job and then notice that you've got to, for example, replacle the intermediate pipe too.

It's a good idea to not drive too too long w/o a muffler, as it will reduce the backpressure in the exhause system to the engine and the reduced backpressure may allow the catalytic converter to overheat, damaging it over time. So it's a good idea to fix the muffler soon, it isn't just a noise issue if you weren't aware of that.

good luck

I have a "fart can" muffler, with the stock cat, it's quiet as hell. So, before I'd do that, if you don't already have one, see if you can pick up a stock cat, that'll quiet it down a shit ton
