leongcpa Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi, I have a 1997 Accord EX. The muffler is loose and it is emitting a loud noise (both while idling and while moving). When I look under the car, I think I see emissions coming from near the muffler. Does this mean I will need to have the muffler replaced? If so, how much should it cost me? Thanks!

airjordan223 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 yeah you probably have a hole in the muffler or a leak. get under the car and see where its coming from. if its small they do make muffler patch up type of stuff. if its really bad, and you need a new one, should be 1-200 for a new one, depends on who you get it from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben. Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Your muffler fluid must have run out. Gotta' get it refilled ASAP! Easiest way to find a leak beneath the car is by jacking it up, starting it, taking a spraybottle full of water and spraying most of the area's you think are most susceptible to leaking. If bubbles form, there you have it. Edited January 28, 2008 by busted ls1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 its a stock exhaust right? if it is then the weld where it meets teh muffler is prolly brok meaning take it to a shop and see if they can weld it if not then time for a new catback....

James Matteu Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you got to Honda and shell out the big bucks for the OEM peice, they extend a life-time warranty to the part. Retain the receipt and the warranty transfers to the next owner. This could be a selling point if you and the Accord ever break-up and go your seperate ways.
