Hello,
I am asking this here because I am sure their are loyal Honda owners who may be able to answer a question about a 97 civic for me. I couldn't find an active forum for 6th gen on the first few google pages so this is the easy button for me.
I have a 97 honda civic 4 door I bought because I know Honda's are bullet proof and needed something to save gas and miles on my truck.
As for my question, I purchased a hitch so I can pull a small trailer 4 miles to the where we have to take our trash (wife has to drive my truck for now because daughter is with us for a bit and I have to go tow her vehicle home and fix it so she is driving wife's car and I'm using civic exclusively). The civic has an aftermarket loud muffler on it that while I am not a fan of it works. The muffler is too big for me to be able to install the hitch. If I cut it off temporally will it be any louder than the "fart can" ? I would like to cut it off, install hitch, and then have a normal muffler welded on in the next few days so I don't run into same issue, also their are no bolts that I can just disconnect muffler from a couple feet back it is a solid pipe up to engine.
I drive it up to 4 hours a day and live way out in the boonies so it could be a week or so before I have a new muffler installed.
Also understand that exhaust gasses would not be vented out from under the car so would need to ensure good cabin ventilation until new muffler is on.
Thanks for reading this and for any advice!
