Exhaust System Pipe & Muffler System Clamps Replacement Parts For Honda Element 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

At first, I was very skeptical about this product especially even after watching a YouTube video of someone using this specific part from this company and the fact that when they got it delivered they did not have clamps in between the resonator and muffler and now the company I guess to improve their packaging they cut that pipe in half and provide you with a clamp. I will say I only gave it four stars because of that reasoning and due to me having the resources I was able to re-weld that spot and not have to use the clamp but after trying to clamp on it did not fit even after taking trying to take it apart it still did not fit. Other than that, I bought this part because my converter had got stolen and after buying a direct fit converter and the back half of my exhaust that was OEM was not reusable I had to purchase this or something similar. With that being said it has been on my vehicle for 2 1/2 weeks now and so far my car has been quiet like it is a brand new vehicle and so far the welds that the company put on as well as my will but I put on have not broken off and has not been an issue. I was lucky enough to have previous hangers that I kept and so now I have extra hangers for just in case if those break off or anything happens to them. I thought with the hangers that are provided on the system that they would not stay on and they have been staying on so far. Definitely would say the best well money spent and hopefully the system will continue to do his job and not have any issues in the future

Perfect for came in on time , installed without problem.

I put this exhaust on my 2004 Honda Element. Once I got the old one off, it went on fairly easily. I had issues with the catalytic converter flange due to corrosion. The spring bolts just twisted off, had to cut the remainder and drill them out. I ordered the accompanying spring fastener kit at the same time. It would be better to include this kit in the same package. I replaced the exhaust because the tail-pipe had vibrated loose and destroyed the threads. Expensive, but what to do? The kit includes MOST of the components, but would be more comprehensive with the addition of two M10-125 nuts to connect the muffler to the tail pipe (don't try to connect them first on the ground - there is not enough space). The kit included the components necessary to install a complete exhaust system-I recommend drilling out the hangars by hand with a drill bit--they were tough to get on. The work was accomplished by a complete automotive novice directed by an experienced automotive engineer. I rate it a difficulty level of 2 of 5. Be sure to mount everything before torquing down the resonator/muffler clamp to allow compliance in the system. Works well and the exhaust is quiet and tight. Good deal. My step-daughter isn't worried about this any more, nor am I (the experienced automotive engineer).

Deliverd in good time Box slightley damaged.Muffler and resonator banged up.Both units are pointing wrong directionAcording to arrows on units had to installHope dosnt damage motor need car.The ends of muffler resonator that getConnected were egg shapped had to bsng into roundshape for connecting clamp to go on.Muffler side in not pleased with.Will hsve to pay someone to weld them on.If i wasnt in s bind for car would have returned and purchased locallyFor what was involved dont believe worth the time anc money

This worked great. Welds were ok. few dents But i didnt care. I can not for the life of me figure out why the kit is complete except 2 case 8 hardened M10 x 1.25 NUTS. So simple to shove in there. Pennys wholesale. A pain in the rear run to Home Depot for 1.29 If your rubber hangers are ok, use them to help hold the section as you bolt it. Do not put all together first because the tailpipe will not go over the axle. Work your way from the cat. After everything is together then tighten all the connections. Really easy and sealed very well.. 2 stupid M10 x 1.25 nuts.. WTH

Exhaust system came in box and box was intact and undamaged. Exhaust system had the muffler and resonator wrapped in a corrugated paper, but unfortunately did not prevent dents and dings or scratching of the protective coating - nothing major though. Ended up touching it up with a high-heat paint to prevent premature corrosion.As stated in responses to questions - what is shown in the picture is what comes with it. Curiously missing were nuts for the tailpipe piece to mount onto the muffler flange (which had threaded studs on it) though.Overall, system went together easy and fit just like the original - No issues.It was noted by a mechanic that the flow arrow on the resonator was pointing towards the muffler, not the tailpipe. Does not seem to affect performance, but does cause concern that it came that way and no way to switch it around.

The muffler has a bad weld spot (failed a pressure test), and as others have noted, BOTH the muffler *and* resonator are installed backwards! (The arrows should be pointing towards the rear of the car, indicating exhaust flow, and they are pointing to the front) They issued me a partial refund (I had to have this exhaust fixed and installed due to time constraints) and their communication was great. So this is 100% an issue with the product only, not the company per se.

In the picture shows the muffler painted black, but when you get the item it is just regular metal.The picture is deceiving this is why I gave it three stars.
