This video features the muffler replacement on a 2001 Acura Integra. Admittedly, one of my favorite vehicles and I love when it comes into the shop. That said, it came in due to noise from the exhaust. I found that the muffler was in less than stellar shape, and decided to replace it. The rest of the exhaust was in good enough shape. I used an aftermarket part which is something I’m always cautious of when it comes to imports. The quality and fit is all over the map it seems and to be honest, this one was no exception. In fact, I could have cut about 2″ off of this one to make it fit a little better.
This video also features tips on using a torch to remove rusty fasteners. There was a little excitement when the torch caught on fire, but we fixed it and moved on with the repair.
**Note that this is the first repair video featuring my new camera and editing software. I’m still learning the ropes, but I’m getting better with each new video I produce. So in case you were wondering why this video looked and sounded differently, you now know why. I hope you like the changes.
