Lightbulb Trouble finding matching parts

Hey,

Trying to find parts has been a pain, I'm really hoping people can point me in the right direction.

I'm needing a new exhaust system, the original one has rusted and finally broke, now the car is too loud. hoping to find something to make it quieter. Preferably something DIRECT BOLT ON, no additional welding or craziness needed.
Amazon has stuff, but it's hard to find if it will actually fit before ordering.

Not really looking for something ultra performance or anything fancy. Keeping the car performance relatively stock.

Checking my local facebook marketplace and junk yards, no luck yet.

Update: I'm looking for options of Manifold all the way back to muffler. Just replacing the whole system. OR just muffler on the back of existing.

I feel the car give a little resistance before accelerating, feels like cat might be clogged up, so was thinking of replacing the whole system.

96 civic dx hatchback 138k miles



This one on amazon is correct bolt on pattern, but it's $400+ dollars, and I'm looking for something priced a bit more reasonable.

Most others I find are 3 bolt pattern which doesn't fit my manifold/catalytic/downpipe converter.

Found this, but doesn't look direct bolt on. what do you guys think/ price looks good, but i can tell its missing some rubber mounts, and most likely have to get it welded to fit my car size.

You need to accept that a complete exhaust including a cat is going to cost a few hundred dollars. Check rockauto

Re: Trouble finding matching parts

Any benefit to converting it into ex style?

I like the idea of a clean looking manifold up top.

Not really, you'd have to extend your o2 sensor wires.

Re: Trouble finding matching parts

Found 2 different mufflers, neither of which match mine.

They were too big, and didnt alight with my hangers or bumper.

Mine looks like this, but the one off of 4door and 2door do not match.
