5th gen exhaust muffler alternatives?
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:45 pm
So, my rear muffler is nearing the end of its life and I would like to replace it in the near future - but only with an OEM style muffler.
(I have a sporty pass-through muffler but the drone it creates inside the cabin is horrible)
Thing is, I cannot for the life of me find a suitable replacement (aftermarket parts are non existent, and an OEM one is like 300 quid so fk that).
Does anyone have experience with taking a muffler from a similar model and making it fit? Or just taking it to an exhaust shop and let them handle it?
Since Accords of that era also had the f20a4 engine that our 2.0 preludes had, the accord's muffler should be pretty spot-on regarding the (audible) performance.
And since on our preludes the exhaust muffler is the same for f20a4 and h22 motors this should also mean that the accord muffler would perform well paired with h22.
