[botaccount]

This is what my new muffler looks like. The old one fell off. Tim is making new parts to go with it. I will put pictures of it as we go along.

it just needs to have the pipe welded to the flange pipe where it rusted out. and i need to make the tailpipe,and i used the original hanger bracket,after i cut it off the old truck size muffler.

HOLY HELL!

Thats the Largest Muffler I've ever seen on a Honda!

Well good luck with the new muffler, and your husband is one of the most talented people I have ever met :D

[lostforawhile]

i would hate to run over one on the road,be like hitting a deer

are we going to be able to listen to it? where do you get raptors ?
I wish they still made cherry bomb Q, I had a pair on my 73 Grand Am , yes I said 73 but it was not in 73 lol

those were nice sounding mufflers, I think I heard they were making them again but I dont believe they are the same. The originals looked about like regular mufflers but they were chambered and had a coating on them.

I need to change my car too , it is getting louder.. smitthys is broke in now.

good work there Mr Tim..

Looks ALOT better then the POS Civic one.

I wonder WHAT WAS HONDA THINKING?!?! At times

[labeledsk8r]

^^ i aggree with forrest.. but you gotta remember its a civic lol honda uses w/e on them lololol.

[Cheeseburger]

Hey Cathy!!!! how are ya! glad to see tim is working on ur car too! cute cat btw :D

[GraniteLXI]

Nice pick, be sure to post a sound clip after install :)

[MessyHonda]

at least it does not have a 5 inch tip on it

[lostforawhile]

i'm uploading a clip right now, it's quiet,when i get a chance to jack it up again i will post some pics of the welds,thanks a million david maule. the remaining piece of the pipe up to the flange,was completly split and cracked,also full of holes,talking about the curved part. i cut a piece of stainless bend in two pieces,fit them over the rotted out pipe, and he welded and hammered them into place. it now looks like a continuous piece of stainless pipe all the way from the muffler to the flange. even though it's about six pieces. fit right up there like factory,thanks to some careful fitting,and marking by your truly. the pipe from the front to the back is getting bad,but i should be able to find an exact replacment and it will bolt up like factory. the muffler and stainless piping will probably outlast the car.

sounds good to me, i wonder what it will sound like on my V6 lol

[87LXiR]

Sounds nice, wish you would have given it a little more throttle though.

I have a pair of those on my chevelle, and boy do they sound sweet on a V8. It has a deep bass tone to it,that is until you gun it.

[GraniteLXI]

Nice sound on the lower rpms, wish we could have heard a bit more of the top end but oh well. Once again, congrats on the new muffler..the old one was just a tank lol

[Civic Accord Honda]

nice
i need a sound clip of my oem one LOL

[AccordB20A]

large ek mufflers aye

[forrest89sei]

Sounds Good :D

[lostforawhile]

well this is the wierd thing, we had two engine codes that defied description, one for the map sensor,and one for the rear o2 sensor, after i put the muffler on,the light codes cleared for some reason,and havent come back on. maby it had something to do with the pipe being broke off so far up. back pressure tripping a code?

[fogged]

I like the low rpm sound. Like the others id like to hear it above say 4500rpm.

[lostforawhile]

update,it's holding up good,i was afraid it would change tone,but my wife has put a lot of miles on it it's still not too loud

[Civic Accord Honda]

hey lost I've been thinking about getting a Flowtech raptor for my civic. do you think you could take a new video of it revving it a bit higher? i would really like to here it at the higher end.
