Quiet a droning tailpipe and keep exhaust flowing the way the factory intended with the AP EXHAUST muffler assembly (MPN 40176). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 Honda Civic with the L4-1.8L engine, dropping into the original muffler location on those applications. A muffler dampens the pressure pulses of engine exhaust to reduce noise while routing spent gases out through the tailpipe, so a rusted-through or blown-out original often means a louder, raspier exhaust note or a rattle from the rear of the car.
If a corroded or failed muffler is the source of your excess exhaust noise, this AP Exhaust unit replaces it. Always inspect the surrounding pipes, hangers, and clamps and replace any that are worn during the job for a leak-free seal.
