#31 of 6456 CRV Muffler Replacement by jkpierce Nov 13, 2001 (8:33 am)
I need a new muffler for my 1997 CR-V, but don't want to pay the $550 quoted by the Honda Dealership. I was told by Midas (and others) that they don't have a muffler for the CR-V, but could "potentially" make an Accord muffler work.   Has anyone found a national chain that can (cost effectively) replace the CR-V muffler? Did they use a muffler designed for another Honda car?   Thanks!

Sorry. I haven't had to replace anything, yet.

you can try an aftermarket muffler for cr-v. i think a mugen double loop mufler is $300. i am have a hard time believeing that honda would charge $500 for just muffler replacement. i would make sure they are talking the muffler itself or the whole exhaust system. also, what you can do is buy the muffler from honda ($100 max) and have your local shop install it for $50 (max).
#34 of 6456 Noisy engine... by potenzaus Nov 15, 2001 (11:59 am)
The engine noise is very noticeable above 2500 rpm on my 2001 CRV 4WD with 3000 miles. Is this normal to CRVs? Replies to this message: eforce2 (Feb 07, 2007 5:34 pm)

To a certain extent, yes, it is. One of the common complaints about the design is the fact that there is more road and engine noise than in other new cars. However, if you are now getting noises that you did not hear when you first got the car, then maybe something is wrong.
#36 of 6456 crank up the radio by dudka Nov 16, 2001 (5:51 pm)
i think what you hear is the road noise, i noticed on mine that after first couple of thousand miles if i drove over a little more coarse pavement the noise increases substantially. there are peple out there who have replaced the rogognal tires with michellins or some other brand and cut down on the noise greately. but seriously i have modified the stereo and now i don't even hear the wind. check out my mods at http://www.blueiedgod.com/subs.html or the whole page http://www.blueiedgod.com
#37 of 6456 Clicking noise when braking by mikefm58 Nov 17, 2001 (4:37 pm)
I have a strange brake problem with my 99 CRV with 49000 miles. When applying the brake for the first time going forward or reverse, I'll hear a loud click in the front end. Continuing in the same direction and applying the brake again, there is no click sound, things are good. Reversing direction and then applying the brake the first time in that direction and I'll hear the click. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I believe if you buy a genuine Honda Muffler that it comes with a lifetime warranty. You should look around as the price your dealer gave you seems high. I would not go to Midas or any other chain. The quality just isn't there in their products.   Chuck
#39 of 6456 doors hard to close by copland Dec 05, 2001 (9:09 am)
Just bought the 2002 CRV LX - I've noticed that the front doors need to be pulled pretty hard to fully close, the rear doors seem to latch easier. Also the interior door panels have a lot of flex in them. Just wondering if this is common to the CRV. Otherwise the car is great - good power, and quiet even at highway speeds.
#40 of 6456 Remote starter for 2001 cr-v. by 01honvse Dec 12, 2001 (6:45 am)
Hi folks, I have a 2001 cr-v se and am looking for an add-on remote starter that will work happily with the existing remote entry system. Does anyone have any information on this? I'm going to install it myself and want to use the same key fob that came with the V. Is there a place where I can find the wiring diagram for the factory remote entry module? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
