I have a 1994 honda civic coupe. I am looking into buying a muffler off of ebay, but was wandering if I will need to purchase any more parts, and how difficuilt is the installation?
You could take it to a muffler shop or a weld shop and they could weld one on for you. Or you could also buy a replacement muffler and you’d have to unbolt the pipes underneath your car and bolt the new one in. There are these little rubber things that hold the hold thing suspended on the bottom. The only worry is that sometimes the bolts on the exhaust pipes get stuck really bad because of the intense heat they can be subjected to. I’d say get under your car and check the bolts, they should be near the rear wheels, to see if they will come loose. Chances are they should. If they will then I’d buy a new muffler and put it on yourself if you can find one. Both ways will cost you about the same but if you do it yourself at least you’ll know the quality job you had done. At a shop you will never know how good of a job they did. Overall, swapping the muffler out is really simple so if you can find the muffler for your car, which is the hardest part, I’d say just do it yourself. Good luck!
