Yeah, cuz the muffler fills up the space on the passenger side.
I am looking to buy one, so if you have one let me know.

I just got mine form HondaAutomotivepParts.com.
The part was only $36.54 but they charged me a $4.95 handling fee and $17.10 freight! Damn.

It didn't come with any fasteners. Anybody know what size bolts I need?
