need to replace muffler from cat back on 1996 Honda Accord

Oct 19, 2006 3 Replies

getting quoted between $450 to $475 to replace muffler from the catalytic converter back...



anyone have a sense if that sounds about for a price?



that sounds high priced. what kind of pipes are they using? if it's stainless steel then it may be the right price. if it's just standard exhaust pipes then shop around.

Is this OEM from the dealer? If so, and if they're replacing the muffler AND the B-pipe for that price, that's about right, and keep in mind the muffler carries a lifetime warranty and lasts about EIGHT years with NO repairs. Next time you replace it it costs you less than $100. Pretty good deal.

The OEM "muffler" is one-piece from the B-pipe to the tailpipe. The B-pipe itself (from cat to muffler pipe join) is a separate item.

My son replaced the system from the cat back, OEM $500.
