Stainless steel A and B exhaust pipe

Do somebody know where to buy a stainless steel A and B exhaust pipe for a 2000 civic sedan dx? My car starts to have an exhaust leak and I'm planning to change to whole system with something durable in this summer.

Re: Stainless steel A and B exhaust pipe

Find a cheap exhaust shop

buy the cat. and resonator you would like, then the shop can fab the rest.

or

buy a full aftermarket exhaust system

or

If you can weld look at your stock system and use it to weld up a custom system.

You can find parts at any aftermarket auto shop, or you can listen to clips on youtube to see what aftermarket exhaust systems you like and buy direct online.


I run a Megnaflow system, but it is far louder than stock, which you may not want.

The full aftermarket exhaust systems are too "Hey I'm here". I need a quiet and discreet exhaust system that can last me for at least 5 to 10 years. Walker sells stock style stainless muffler but not stainless a and b pipes. Like what you said, I think I'm going to knock some local shop doors and ask them what they can do about it.

Re: Stainless steel A and B exhaust pipe

This is a 2000 car, 16 yrs old at the moment, you expect it to last another 5 to 10 years? Personally I'd just go with regular steel. Bound to have other issues that could cut the life of the car shorter than you'd like. Spend as little as possible on it.

The principal components of my car such the engine, the transmission and the frame are still in excellent condition. I' m very confident this car can last minimum another 5 years.

Probably located in a nice, non-winter climate... that certainly helps with longevity of cars

Lol, we have icy winters here. But the previous owner of my civic was an old lady, This is why the car is still in great shape.

Hopefully the son or grandson hasn't been driving it

But seriously though mine is a 97 and still doing ok. Had it since new in 1997. In the salt/rust belt myself. These 1996-2000 cars were really well made.
