What Owners Say
""Apparently Honda exhaust systems don't live very long. There was one small hole between the muffler and the tail pipe. The mechanic advised against a repair, and in faver of a complete replacement. The exhaust system is complete from the catalytic converter to the exhaust pipe. That was a bummer.""
