I would like to get a catback system for my new 04 Accord. Do any of you know who makes something like this?

Greddy, tanabe, DC sports all make one for your car...IMO for about the same performance check out http://www.kteller.com he is a member on here and has mandrel bent tubing and mufflers for sale; it would save you some money

Was that the 4 cylinder or 6?

 

HKS also makes a catback exhaust for your car. HKS, GReddy, Tanabe, and DC sports are all high quality exhausts. If you are trying to save some cash, I don't see anything wrong with VRDrvr's suggestion of kteller.com.

 

unfortunately, the HKS exhuast is NOT cat-back. it is AXEL-back, meaning it's the muffler plus like 2 or 3 feet of piping. It's still a bolt-on, just not cat-back

 

Thanks. I am looking to get something Axle back. If worse comes to worse, I could go with a magnaflow muffler and have the local muffler shop install it.

 

Why do you want axle back??

 

For the ease of installing. I would rather just bolt it up than take it to a muffler shop to cut and weld it in. I could just bring a muffler over to the muffler shop and have them install one. I would like good performance without the loud tone.

 

Don't get an axle back just for an "easier" install...do it right or don't do it at all

 

Why? Are Axel backs not direct bolt on?

 

I would think you would have to cut...why not just bolt or get it welded to the cat and get a "cat back" ?

 

I will agree it is probably easier to just rip the old muffler out and have one installed. The muffler shop here in Austin charges about $70 to do something like that. It would probably be cheaper because the cost of the muffler and labor costs would run me alot less than a full Axel back system. My only concern is chaning out a muffler and running into problems later, as what happend to a Taurus I had. After a performance muffler got installed by a shop, I had major emissions headaches and problems. (Of course, it could have also been the fact it had 130K on it too)

 

if you're worried about having the cut things off and weld the new stuff on, just get a cat-back exhaust from Greddy or the likes. All a shop has to do is unbolt the piping from the cat-back, pull the exhaust from the hangers, and then take the new exhaust, slide them into the hangers and bolt it up to the cat. A lot of people do it themselves.

 

Perhaps I should have clarified.. I plan to do the work myself if I was going to unbolt it. When I was under the car, I did notice that the muffler bolts up close to the axel and after doing a little pricing, the route to go would be to go with a regular muffler and have my shop install it.

Anyone have any suggestions to types of mufflers? What about Dynomax, Magnaflow?
Thanks
