I need to replace (again) the exhaust on my 1996 Accord. It had a perfectly fine factory exhaust that got damaged when my daughter drove it up on a roundabout curb. I replaced it with a Bosal system (cat back) that lasted about a year and a half.
She's moving to California (military wife) and I need to get the car ready for that. I don't want to buy another Bosal system, besides it failing relatively fast it didn't fit properly either - the pipes were shorter than the OEM and the flanges were not welded on properly. The thing is, the other aftermarket choice (Walker) is about the same price as the Bosal. An OEM exhaust is more than twice the price, $550 or so instead of about $230.
So yeah it is one of those "what should I do" questions. Should I spring for the OEM exhaust? Is Walker any good? If it were a bit more expensive I would think it might be - but at about the same price as the Bosal I am skeptical.
