Hey guys, I haven't posted much here, but I always enjoy browsing the forums.
My question is, I have bought a Magnaflow cat-back for my '04 civic lx (I think it's an LX...) and I'm wondering how difficult it is to install? I have little to no experience with exhaust work, but it doesn't look overly difficult to me.
Would anyone here recommend me do it myself? I know I can get a pit to work in, and I have all day tomorrow to work on it if I want. It looks like the only tools I'd require are a few wrenches, and some wd40.
its not that hard... just remeber patience and may need some wd 40 to lossen some bolts, also if yer gonna do it yer self.. just make sure yo use stirdy jack stands and have fun!
Got it installed today! I broke one bolt, but replaced it with a new one (roads are salted a lot here, so they were rusty).
What do you guys think?
The only issue right now is that the tip is rubbing against the car..I'm not too too concerned, but what's the easiest way to fix this? A friend recommended bending the hangers on the muffler.
Lookin' good. I don't know where in Canada you are situated...I'm in Montreal and I only hope that you don't get pulled over like I did. That Magnaflow got me three tickets of $154 each. Not because it was loud, but because the cops saw the muffler...and in Canada mufflers cannot be a straight-through design for the street. I wish you luck.

Really?? I've never heard of that before. I'm from Nova Scotia, but I haven't seen anyone get in trouble for that before. There are a lot of cavaliers, sunfires, and neons around here with annoyingly loud exhausts, so I'd imagine they'd pull them over first, haha.
I'm surprised, the magnaflow isn't loud at all. It idles no louder then the stock exhaust.
damn car looks hot! props on the install as well. lower it next you be golden. +rep
