The b pipe is the section behind the cat, and before the rear section with the muffeler.

If your refering to the pipe with the S bend and the resonator i have always known it as a mid-pipe. However, i know everyone has different terminology.

hmm.. weird. It looks like in that pic the mid-pipe nad hte axle-back pipe have the same diameter. The pipes on my car look like the mid pipe is thicker than the axle-back. I'll take a pic tommorow to show you, and maybe someone can tell me if thats stock or not.

Hey guys i took my car to minekee, and they had parts i needed.

Same as an accord, so they quoted me at $371.00 dollars to replace the pipe and the muffler

and they repalced some gaskets and also they removed my heat shield.

They car is back to smooth operation

plus i got more power. The pipe was completely rusted out.....it was soundin' real ghetto.

the pipe actually detached ........it was so rusted.....jus broke in half.


ps.

now i can hear my cold air intake again
