What types of rear silencers are available for Honda vehicles?

• Standard type. These components are installed on most versions. They are highly efficient but can cause a reduction in engine power. Their design includes perforated pipes and baffles located in one housing. They reduce the noise levels by repeatedly redirecting, dividing, and reflecting the exhaust gas flow.
• Sports type. These do not create back pressure. They normally only have one perforated straight-through pipe surrounded by soundproof material. They help improve the engine performance. These components absorb sound waves of certain frequencies, producing a deep sound when the exhaust gas is discharged.

Additionally, the components are produced using a variety of materials. Aluminized steel parts are the cheapest but they are not as long-lasting as others. Products made of stainless steel last longer, but are more expensive. Titanium ones are the lightest and most reliable, however, due to their high prices, they are primarily used for tuning purposes.

Alongside this, when purchasing new exhaust parts, the length, capacity, and diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes need to be taken into consideration.

Does it take a long time to replace the rear silencer?

It all depends on your skills and experience, as well as the complexity of the task. The whole process usually takes two to three hours.

What can shorten the service life of the rear silencer on a Honda vehicle?

• Engine malfunctions. For example, if unburnt fuel burns outside of the cylinders, this leads to an extreme increase in the temperature of the exhaust system, which may damage the exhaust components.
• Driving on poor-quality roads. Bits of grit and road chippings from under the wheels can cause damage to the protective anti-corrosion coating. Due to the impact of large stones when driving over potholes, the body of the rear silencer may be dented or cracked.
• Frequent short-distance driving. This could cause a buildup of condensation which leads to corrosion.
