what? can't use any exhaust?

hoanger · 05-08-2006, 10:10 PM

I'm so confused.. I've never installed or purchased an exhaust before and my civic coupe is going to be coming in a couple of weeks... So from the numerous threads i've read.. it seems as though that I need a special exhaust in order to fit the new 06 civic?
I don't understand why though, can't I just go to minutemuffler or whatever and ask them to install the exhuast I want?

I cant seem to understand...

Oh, I have the DX-G... but does that also matter?

dx-g/dx/lx/ex are all just trim levels. The car is basically the same. The trim levels just add stuff like a/c, power locks, etc.

you can put any muffler you want on your car. A muffler shop would just replace your muffler and weld the needed parts etc to make things work.

For people wanting to just unbolt the factory exhaust (from the converter back) and just bolt up a replacement - you need to have the exact bends etc. A muffler shop would do it, but obviously you can't just bolt one on yourself. It would have to be custom.

what is the difference b/t exhaust, muffler, and muffler tip?
this might clarify

OH well that makes it easier... I guess the only thing that confused me was that people are asking is there "item" out for "model" yet? and that got me thinking that maybe I had to get a specific kind... All i want is the exhaust and i'm wondering how much that would cost on average, and if its as good as... say a catback... I, like some people here are completely clueless about stuff like this... Thanks webby
