OKay, as per my standard noob ways I have another dumb question:

I have a 1990 CRX Si with a 2.25" exhuast pipe, I also a 2.25 inch tanabe muffler. I want to connect them and mount the muffler (pipe is already on). I do not however have the hardware or springs or whatever and no auto store I have called here does either. Any suggestions on what to get? Thanks!

 

(this should go in tech)
where does your exhaust piping end?
does the muffler have a 2-bolt flange or just the 2.5" opening?
pics would really be helpful.

 

It ends near the back wheel well, it has the two bolt flange and the opening. I can post pics tomorrow morning. Thanks.

 

PICS:

 

Get two bolts, and two nuts, and a gasket. use a wrench and tighten it...

 

is that tanabe an axle back from the same type of car? if it is, it should bolt straight up, and connect the exhuast hangers to the rubber mounts under there....if its not, then you will have to start wlding or buy some exhaust strap and use that with some bolts to the bottom of your trunk or bumper

 

That exhaust will fit like ---- on a crx, just a fyi

 

I think you may be right after I looked at it closer. Maybe I will try to trade the muffler for a better one to put on my crx.

 

that exhaust was designed for a 92+ civic/integra style. The crx needs a huge fart cannon chamber that sits horizontal under the trunk, and the tip exits on the left side (since thats where the cutout on the bumper is it)

 

The down pipe on my crx comes to the right side of the bumper, so I guess that means I just need to get an oem muffler until I can afford a better catback upgrade or something...?
