hole in muffler - replacement... oem vs aftermarket?

[imhungry]

There is a enormous hole in the muffler of my 1995 Civic so I need a replacement muffler!

I bought a "oem like" style muffler at Napa for $180, the old school 1.5" inlet and outlet. On my drive home It hit me that I spent enough to get a decent aftermarket muffler.... So I just might go return it...

My problem is that I can't find aftermarket mufflers with a 1.5" inlet.... and if possible i want to stay away from cutting, welding and clamping....

Well.. anyone know where i can get a aftermarket muffler with 1.5" inlet?????

Not sure if you're going to find an aftermarket "performance" muffler that size since the point of buying aftermarket is usually for an upgrade so they will range from 2"-4".

If you don't want to do any modifying I think your best bet is to stay with the "oem like" one that you bought.

You are correct though, $180 will buy you a nice aftermarket muffler.
