I was quoted $800 if I bought my own mufflers, resonator, and tips. Another place quoted me $6000 but they were a pro hot rod shop that does completely custom pipe work that looks frakking amazing (if only it wasn't completely hidden under the Civic)...
They both sound over priced... I'm talking about like an axleback not a full catback if it's over 300 I'm just going to get a ktuner and a stock 9th gen si muffler
Did they have to cut any of the medal behind the diffuser to fir the pipes?
Yeah they had a to cut a half circle of sheet metal to be able to reroute the exhaust
Does those fit for over stock bumper or does it have to be removed before installing new one?https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172805214695
This sucked more than I thought it would. It would probably be easier to remove the entire bumper first, since the two screw points are literally inaccessible with the bumper mounted. Took about 45 minutes, and I'm still gonna have to pull the bumper off later to get the screws in and ensure the row of clips on top are actually secured properly (think one of them didn't go in properly, so there's a minor gap). Having two sets of hands might help as well.
There are four clips on the bottom, easy enough, then 2 screws on each side. The far passenger side clip has an additional hanger that the clip needs to secure to.
Four clip locations
The center two clip points. The far side driver and passenger sides have little "slip holes" where the diffuser slides in.
Two screw points, that I accidentally tore off the stock piece when removing. Oops. Yeah. Definitely remove the bumper first.
This replacement sticks out a little, where the stock was flush. I'll get a better pic in the daylight. Now I just need proper exhaust to go with it.
Where did you get this diffuser?
I got a similar diffuser and went to an exhaust shop
