Muffler-less 1992 Accord EX

[DisfuncionJcT]

i have a 92 with 175,xxx 5spd and the exhaust is broke right after the cat and its crazy loud lol but it doesn't sound to bad

[moogmanXanders]

coulda been worse though, coulda payed money to install a fart cannon and have it sound like that

[AlphaZombieSquad]

should of floored it to see the locals run with fingers in their ears

[choking1smurf]

mine sounds like that. the muffler's weld rusted off

[CHARLIETWW]

That sounds so nice! I love my Honda, too!

[scrapkilla321]

Mine 92 Honda accord coupe has 332xxx on it as of yesterday lol

[scrapkilla321]

Mine sounds like that with a muffler u saved some money to dammit lol

[fordxbgtfalcon]

wow thats pretty low mileage

[waltwitherspoon]

Yea mines sound like that RIGHT NOW... I just havent replaced muffler yet but hey its all good.. oh & by the way im @ 234,6-- & still rolling strong...(92 Accord EX) 4door

[bmxfelon420]

lol, only 99k miles. That car is a baby. 317k represent!

[TheDragonHelix]

I have an 1993 accord f22a6 and it still runs like a champ, I love that old Accord! The manual is so smooth :)

[joc1394]

@TheDragonHelix Oh how I wish my Accord had been a manual. I would have probably kept it a lot longer than I did. Alas, I sold the Accord when I bought a 2007 Civic EX - with a 5spd manual of course!

[TimLenhartTech]

Not bad at all. I was wondering what my B20 would sound like without a muffler. This is a general idea.

[mariorm89]

wow. mine sounded like that about 4 months ago, when i first bought the car..then i out a magnaflow fart can, yes i say fart can cuz piece of crap is now burnt out, i mean i only driven it 9k miles since i owned it. o well its better than nothin. next it will be headers and all4-2-1

[joc1394]

Sadly, I sold this car to a friend recently. It left my hands with just a few less that 145,000 miles on it. The new owner is quite mechanically inclined, so I'm sure it will see many more miles and years of use. These cars are literally reliable like a tank.

[joc1394]

@joc1394 If I still owned the car, as of today, it would have about 165,000 on it.

[SHADOWMONK3Y]

sounds like a ricer now.

[anthonysterling1]

lol nice those are low miles i have a 92 dx with 130 lol but could have twice that i have had it a week and has not changed haha and have traveld about 1000 miles haha

[joc1394]

@anthonysterling1 The odometer is still working...about to roll over 140k today.

[SocietyFailing]

Slap a flowmaster on that! :) you have an excuse to get a custom exhaust on it.

[hady11]

Did you notice loss of power and fuel economy and btw how the fuck did your muffler fall off

[joc1394]

@hady11 I wouldn't say it lost power, it just revved a lot higher to put out the power. Fuel economy stayed about the same.

A massive pothole snagged it and pulled it right off the rest of the pipe.

[hady11]

@joc1394 I hate pot holes but i have 96 supra lowered down and i hit a pot hole and my hole cat back system failed i was losing power and my mpg went down like 40 percent

[diznitter905]

@hady11 pretty shure it wouldnt lose power... with the muffler off there would be less restriction and it would actually add a horse or two

[HondaKillerG]

LOL wow how does your muffler just fall off? It's kinda loud though not as bad as the civics out here WITH mufflers...

[Seth6Strummer]

Got the F22a1 in my Honda prelude..

86,000 miles.. Great car.

[ponchochan]

That thing shifts so nicely.

[ianofales77]

i own a 92 lx. 4dr, perfect shape, drives like a champ 157k and I'm never getting rid of him. best car i have ever owned.

[3lchicano202]

ha i got 288k on mine...lol...ya need to drive more.....

[Latincitizen]

I got on mine 450, I wonna get to 600 k

[calebcowan85]

Just bought a 2000 honda accord EX with 192k miles on it.. Hopefully she'll hold for another 100.

[joc1394]

The previous owners are the ones who didn't drive much. I'm putting roughly 35k/year on it, and still loving it. I've only had it for 2 years now.

[andrewJeep]

automatic? what motor? i hacked off mine and it was the loudest air plane in the world! haha i have a clip actually and the camera didnt capture really how loud it was.. oh yeah i have 90,000 more mile than you haha

[jnalley2]

did h22 swap 8000 miles ago..but my f22 had 282k...body now had 288 still in great shape!

[civicaccordhonda]

mine just fell off too XD it rusted at the seem and my driveway ripped it off.. i like the sound so im leaveing it off for now until i can get a whole new exhuast :)

[cubanboy9191]

mine have 230k and still rolling as a new one i love it

[Tippey764]

Wow only 99k

[joc1394]

Just rolled 125,000 today. FYI

[Tippey764]

Nice, mine has 146k and my bros has 279k. By the way that muffer couldnt have been installed correctly or else it wouldnt have fallen off. I jsut replaced mine and it was welded back on.

[ralekriver]

A couple of my mental notes-

1st, it seems like your transmission likes to let your engine do all the work! It seems to let the revs get too high for no real need. Unless you like it that way, maybe you could save some MPG's by adjusting it?

Also, I've got a '90, and I experienced rough shifting (160k miles on transmission). I am a mechanic, and a few mechanic buds recommended the Lucas transmission fluid treatment. I was skeptical, but dumped the stuff in. Worked great! Smooth shifts!

[joc1394]

Those aren't the normal shift points. It just didn't have it's normal pep without the muffler and I was putting my foot into it more than normal. Also, I solved my rough shifts by changing the Trans. Fluid for the first time at 117k putting in genuine Honda ATF. Fluid was like $15 too!

[mustangcobras128]

since everyone's sharing stories, i just got a 1990 honda accord with 69K on it. i wanna do some mods to it but im not quite sure how yet

[BryceGrover]

just a thought

if you want some performance mods

never ever get an exhaust on a 4 cylinder

they lose a bunch of torque

and you know they have none to start with

[Tippey764]

My brother has a 93 accord EX and the top of his entire exaust on the S peice got rusted away. Sounds very similar to yours i belive his is a bit louder though.

[ralekriver]

Got a '90, and the same thing happened to mine ^^

[61Galaxieboy]

Sounds Better This Way.....

[ATCRyderX]

Typical Honda car...no exhaust. Sounds way better than a fart can though!

[DAKOTARTLUVA]

Im at 168000 miles on my 93 accord lx still runs great all orginal-

[ACcCoRd]

can you feel your tranny shift? is it rough?

[joc1394]

Yes, usually. The transmissions in these cars are notoriously harsh, but they hold up rather well. They're known to go 200-300k miles.

[joc1394]

Just a thought...had my front axels replaced and changed the trans. fluid while I was at it...Replaced with Honda Auto Trans. Fluid and it shifts smoother now. The fluid change cost me $20 to do it myself and about 1 hour tops - you don't even really need to jack the car up if you don't want to!

[blacky448]

i have a 92 honda accord with 189000 miles runs good but need a trany still can smoke em its getting lookd at monday

[KRMPKNGZ]

i have a 1995 Honda Accord EX with 180000m and still no leaks or problems

[BryceGrover]

i doubt it

yeah they hold up well but

if you take off your oil filler cap on top of your valve cover, and if you feel any air coming out, that means you have to rebuild your head

:(:( spoiler alert!!

[ralekriver]

There's a couple of reasons air would come out of the oil filler cap while the engine is running. Such as normal engine operation. Or worn piston/piston rings/worn block or any combination of the three.

[truemetalist89]

isnt driving without a muffler illegal?

[nckkinney]

nah not unless its over 120 db and if u dont have a catalytic converter thats illegal

[twisted62380]

I have a 92 EX w/ 208K on it..and running smooth.

:)

[hellyeazz]

i have a 92 accord lx...it has 315000 on it and still rollin as well

[cb7215]

hey i think i beat you all on the miles i got a 92 lx with 305k,runs srong all day every day no leaks or oil burns or spills...wheres my prize..lol

[Amishman35]

All you need now is the monster tach and a 130 kilowatt stereo system.

[joc1394]

I think I'll pass on those...but thanks for the suggestion :)

[jimborob76]

does the F22A come stock on the 92's??

[joc1394]

Yes, DX/LX Models had the F22A1 and the EX Model came with the slightly tweaked, higher output F22A6. At least as far as I know...

[jimborob76]

kool beans thanks man

[twisted62380]

you're half right...

90-91 DX/LX has the F22A1s ( internal coil )

90-91 EX has the F22A4 ( internal coil..but has a different header and DP )

92-93 DX/LX same F22A1 BUT has External coil

92-93 EX/SE has F22A6 ( External coil ) / ( has secondary runners and slightly different cam than the A1 and A4

F22A4 has the best header and DP combo..( tubed NOT cast ) F22A4 and A6 has 4-2-1 BUT the A4 has the more free flowing header/DP.

[eazye524]

I got a 92 Accord. 138,000 miles and STILL rollin'!

[jimborob76]

lol i got a 92 lx and i only got 78,000 on that baby lol

[mattyg412]

You should have heard my '92 Accord when I blew out the flexpipe. It was way louder. It sounded like a dirtbike when I got on the gas. Mine was an old lady's car and its in good shape, 147000 miles and going strong.

[dharman19662u]

That is so incredible...thanks for sharing

[Tarantino396L78]

Why spend money on a fart can when you can just cut your muffler off?

Sounds exactly the same and your ride doesn't look as retarded.

[Yoda8232]

Haha nice I have a 91 Accord EX-R Wagon.

[coandcaiv]

247,000 miles on my 90 accord lx...its a beast i tell ya..A BEAST!!! haha! honda ftw!!

[potswa]

That's NOTHING. My muffler didn't fall off b/c it was securely bungied when I got the car. But it gradually became disconnected, and the resonance ripped up the flex pipe. That's the part of the exhaust directly under the driver's seat. The critical damage came as I was driving cross country. Unable to bear the noise any longer, I went 90+ all the way across Indiana (the home stretch) alternately blasting the stereo and trying to "meditate" on the engine howl. Mine is a 91.

[majesticlarge]

I noticed your abs dash light was on mine was like that for ages till i took it to a honda dealer who told me it was just the float in the fluid bottle for the ABS all he did was disconnect it and all is well. My accord has done 174000 miles now and thats the only trouble i have ever had

[joc1394]

The system is claiming a faulty Right Rear Sensor - I just don't feel like fixing that, so I just pulled the fuse on the pump...ABS is just something I'm willing to live without.

[xzachx2112]

thats pretty low milage for an old accord

[joc1394]

Yes, She's got almost 105k on her now. I bought it off an older couple who finally decided to get rid of their "third" car because they rarely drove it. It's a great car and doesn't have much in the way of usual rust.

[ledfoot2744]

haha same here man i got a 91 honda accord... 113k miles on it... just put a new radiator in it though surprisingly a brand new one and service only 200 bucks

[LarizzleDizzle]

You should hear what I live with... I have holes all over the headers, downpipe (after turbo), and before and after the flex pipe!

Accord love. lol

[bcjammer]

you need to replace that muffler with something. Trust me...once you get going down the road the rasp will kick in.

Don't forget...it may sound good in the car...but outside everyone else hears it as it is...nasty

[joc1394]

The stock muffler is back on and it is once again quiet...I have to drive about 15 minutes down the interstate to and from work, and even inside the car it became annoying and nasty after a few days. I just had to wait for the weekend to come around so I had time to fix it.

[CKOD]

TurboJDM upgrade!, I know how it sounds, I drove to DC with my sentra having an exhaust leak right before the Cat. Way too loud.
