94 civic - rear exhaust joint leak?
 

I am having a problem with the new exhaust on my 94 4door civic LX - it's a
stock replacement walker system.

The rear pivot joint in front of the rear axle leaked a lot, even with a new
donut and spring bolts. We ended up using exhaust goo to seal the joint.
We also had to toss the springs and bolts in favor of threaded rods - no
more exhaust leaks but now we get vibrations since it is a solid connection.

What's the solution? The retailers claims he never had a complaint on that
model before. He offered me a replacement donut gasket, but it was exactly
the same as the other new one, so I didn't take it.

I ended up at Monro muffler - they found that the local parts store supplied
Walker main pipe I installed was a little too long past the flange - once
they cut it to the proper length and installed a new gasket, it is fine now.

Thanks for the inputs Rocky......I have just purchased a Walker muffler
from Advance Auto with a lifetime warranty. I will match it up against the
stock muffler on my daughter's 98 Civic before installation to check for
length. The OEM muffler lasted a little over 8 years.

The OEM replacement muffler is one-piece from B-pipe to tailpipe, and comes
with a lifetime warranty. you never checked that out, did you? You'll be
lucky to get two years out of the Walker.

Aftermarket exhausts are a poor choice unless you need to get the car
safetied cheaply before unloading it.

what is the price of the oem unit?
I will be needing an exhaust for my Pilot and if the oem is competitive I
would rather not buy Walker again.
