Now a days one of the most popular car modification is modifying its back part with a new set of exhaust system.The addition of sports muffler or installing an entirely new exhaust system surely have some performance benefits however I will restrict myself only to the "appearance" benefits.However great collection of performance enhancing exhaust systems for Honda Civic hybrid (2001-2005) can be ordered online through this post.Just click the appropriate image of an exhaust system for your Honda Civic.New exhaust systems sure have some big bores so you will need to cut the part of rear bumper in order for the muffler to properly fit.Extra care is needed when the rear bumper is quite thin.

Since the exhaust system of the car has to directly cope with the heat of the entire machine so consideration has to be paid to this side and one should make sure to leave ample space between the rear bumper and the exhaust so that no damage is done to the bumper like scorching or even melting if a normal plastic body kit is used.The least thing which could happen in case of not leaving enough space is the unpleasant vibration due to the contact of the bumper and exhaust.The solution to this problem could be to cut a relatively larger hole when fitting the exhaust and then fitting a metal plate.Many car modifiers are fond of lowering their silencers more than their bumpers however this creates a problem of striking of the exhaust system to the road at road bumps and it tends to vibrate more than a properly raised exhaust system.Make sure to mount the exhaust tightly as it lowers the noise and also helps to expand when the exhaust gets warmer.Use of rubber mounts is most advisable.

Fitting an exhaust system in your car can also have some legal implications.Many countries have laws on the noise pollution emitted by the vehicles.In case of an exhaust system, the bigger the bore the greater will be the hum or the exhaust note.Similarly some countries have restriction on the extension of the exhaust where it cannot extend more than the outer edge of the rear bumper.So before installing an exhaust system in your car get yourself acquainted of the local laws and regulation.

Different shapes are available in the market.You can find shapes like square,oval,triangle and round or even more.The choice is yours.After choosing the shape you will have to decide the number of pipes like twin pipe or single pipe.When coming to the cleaning of the exhaust system many products are coming with the chrome shine which are resistant to rust and corrosion but still they need some cleaning.A simple piece of dry cloth is sufficient to clean it.To maintain the shine of the muffler or even to restore the shine of an old muffler, simple metal polish
can be used.
