Default Muffler

I know nothing about mufflers/exhaust anything so I'm asking this and I may be stupid in asking this in this forum but I was just stuck with my sister's 95 Honda Accord LX....I don't know why nor hwo but it sounds like a bumblebee, and I literaly HATE it, it makes me embarrassed to drive it. I used to hate cars like this, now I'm driving one.

It may not be cheap but let me know ways to fix it. I don't have the money but one day I may be able to fix it, I just wonder if there's somehow to die down the noise or just embarrassment

Sure, or try local car-parts stores. Often they're cheaper than the dealer, but not always.

Here's a picture of the stock system. You'll need to look underneath your car to see how much of it is stock & how much of it is "custom" bumblebee junk.

Oh yeah... Once you find out how much of your system is NOT-stock, then you can shop around either junkyards, or AutoZone-type places, or the Honda dealer.

I just replaced the B-pipe (resonator pipe ahead of muffler) section and muffler pipe section on my 94EX w/ Walker Quiet-Flow. I think parts were about $200 from Rockauto.

It's a job to DiY, but w/ a lift probably a 1 hr job for a muffler tech.

good luck
