i've found an inox muffler from an Honda model. it is not the Integra one, because it is shorter but that is the only external difference. i will post some pictures soon but i think it came from a CRV. it has to be addapted by a flange to my stock exhaust but i think it will pay for itself. i've bought it for 60eur. Post some pictures soon, and some pictures on the welding. what do you guys think? Cheers

the muffler is very very similar if not equal to this one below but it has the heatshield on the top, the flange is ruined and the general aspect is not so good because the heatshield is painted and so on... it has the clamps also.

I really can recommend the EK9, silent muffler.

Thinking of replacing my Venturi muffler on the EJ9 which is loud... Nick's idea about the RSX muffler appeals to me, I'll try to find one. How is the fit of that Nick, any idea?

It should be the same as fitting a ITR muffler under a hatch.It needs modifications but those aren't that big.The piping needs to be shortend and the hooks need to be adjusted a little.

Does it bolt straight up on a stock ej9 midpipe??
I have the muffler, and i was in doubt if it bolted up..

It looks great, it is very silentious and it does not heat to much i guess...
