How to Change the Exhaust on a Honda

Though it may seem unneeded, a change of the exhaust system on your Honda can make a world of difference. Also, exhaust kits can be relatively cost-affective and easy to install. The process of replacing exhaust can be done without any specialized mechanical knowledge.

Instructions

    1

    Back the vehicle on to blocks, or use a jack to raise the rear end of the vehicle.

    2

    Use a standard flathead screwdriver to remove the hose clamp from the joint between the muffler and piping. Also, unscrew the mounting clamps that keep the muffler attached to the bottom of the vehicle. Pull the muffler off the piping and away from the vehicle.

    3

    Remove the hose clamp that attaches the piping to the exhaust port. Remove all of the mounting clamps that keep the piping attached to the vehicle. Remove the piping.

    4

    Replace the old piping with newly purchased piping. Make sure to place heat-treated silicon around any joints. Attach the hose clamp to the exhaust port joint, and replace all mounting clamps.

    5

    Replace the old muffler with a new one. Again, place heat-treated silicon around the joint. Attach the hose clamp to the joint between the muffler and the piping, and replace all mounting clamps.
