Replacing a muffler on a 1998 Honda Civic is a fairly straight forward process. I'll be using a Walker exhaust for this installation. Walker is a global supplier of exhaust parts and offers direct-fit mufflers, catalytic converters, pipes, resonators, and other exhaust accessories. Walker sent me the exhaust replacement kit for the use in this blog post. For more information on the parts used, check out http://www.walkerexhaust.com/
Step 1: Raise the rear of the car up onto jack stands. Be sure to do this properly, use this video link for reference. Can you tell why the muffler needs replacing?
Step 2: The next thing I do is soak the nuts/bolts securing the muffler portion of the exhaust with penetrating oil, and allow that to seep in for a few hours before working on it. If the nuts aren't rusted on, you can begin working immediately. Remove the two nuts using a 12 mm socket.
Step 3: Remove the muffler from the two exhaust hangers at the rear. You can use a little oil on the hangers to make it easier.
Step 4: Remove the muffler. It's as simple as pulling it out now, over the lower control arm of the rear suspension. There are only four points holding it in, the two bolts and the two hangers (which are already removed).
Step 5: Reverse the process and reinstall the new muffler. Start by sliding it into position, then connect the rubber hangers, and finally tighten down the two bolts connecting the muffler to the rest of the exhaust piping.

Nice tutorial! Cool that the catalytic converter is part of the manifold, never seen that done before.

ReplyDeleteI'd like to add that I was concerned about the spring pressure on the two flange bolts, but by the time they were ready to come off, there was no remaining pressure from the springs. Also, you had it easy! Your tail pipe had come off. If it's still on, it can be a battle to get the muffler free of the hangers. Going back on was easy though.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I'd like to thank you for this great write up! It was very helpful!

ReplyDeleteA bottle jack or whiskey jack is a jack which resembles a bottle in shape, having a cylindrical body and a neck. Within is a vertical lifting ram with a support pad of some kind fixed to the top. The jack may be hydraulic or work by screw action. In the hydraulic version the hydraulic ram emerges from the body vertically by hydraulic pressure but the most popular one is the Pittsburgh 3 Ton Floor Jack.

ReplyDeleteThis above article is really very informative and useful article. So thanks to you for sharing this informative article with us. Do you know that the Commercial vehicles are an important component of our big electrification strategy, comments Jim Farley, Ford's chief operating officer for Ford, also released the first teaser image of the future Transit EV, but he says little about the new product. Obviously, the car will take the form of a modern Transit with an internal combustion engine, but you can expect some visual changes in the front that will distinguish the electric van from its gasoline and diesel counterparts. The carzaamin(.)com/blog/suzuki-cultus-for-sale-in-lahore-pakistan/ automaker expects the Transit EV to deliver huge benefits for fleet customers compared to the current Transit, including fewer scheduled maintenance, lower operating costs and - obviously - no refueling at the gas station. Rumor has it that the electric van may receive federal, state, and local tax benefits.
