Hello everyone!
I just finished buying the Civic Si tips and I was going to install them on my 04 TSX. My worst fear became a reality, the bolt that holds the left muffler tip broke! It was rusted I'm guessing. What should I do? I'm even afraid to attempt the right muffler now after what just happened. Any suggestions????

 

Use penetrating oil and/or heat on the still-good bolt on the right side exhaust tip (its not a muffler but whatever... ).

For the one that broke, you will probably have to drill it out using a drill bit slightly smaller than the bolt, and take your time.

 

Ok got it, exhaust tip. Keep mixing it up..... And thanks for the advice, I'll be trying that out.

 

Reverse drill bit. I've done this twice on my TSX tips lol

 

Got it! Actually, after seeing your car with those tips, it convinced me to get them for my car. They look sick dude!

 

I was just trying to remove my exhaust tip with a socket wrench.. but no luck. It's so rusted, that it won't even turn, I sprayed some wd40.. and then tried but no luck. I'm afraid to try again because I don't want to damage something. I have my new stock exhaust tips ready to install, but I can't because of this. I might just take it to a mechanic now.

 

so I also bought some pb blast penetrating oil yesterday and sprayed it on.. but still no luck. the rust is gone, but the damn bolt won't even move! I guess the threads inside are rusted too.
