Quick question. I have a Honda Accord 2003. Was driving on the road and heard a rattling noise under the car in the front that became louder. When AAA came by the guy said i had double heat shields and the one on the bottom was the one dragging - he took it out and said I didn't need it. Is this true?

Heat shields are important...that's why Honda engineers put them there...the double shield is meant to protect your catalytic converter from starting grass fires, etc.

The OEM suggests for 2 mufflers for my exhaust system (a center and a rear).
Can I use 2 universal muffler instead of the OEM parts and build my system, will this work as good as the original?

Don't see why not. The only snags I can see are 1) clearance issues with the floorpan or other parts of the car, or with the ground; 2) don't use a larger diameter pipe than OEM, or if you do, only marginally larger.

Yeah, it's a lot of work and your engine would probably have to be strengthened internally or run at pretty low boost. On older engines, this is risky. I suppose you could install a used turbo engine all ready to run but I suppose you would also have to install the donor car's engine management system.

Sure as long as you aren't getting rid of the catalytic converter,which is illegal to do. It might sound louder though, depending on which muffler you pick. One of your mufflers is a resonator, a kind of silencer.

well i bought the kit from autohasz, when I ordered it it said STARLA kit which is expensive than the WALKER mufflers but when I got my package I see STARLA stickers stuck over the WALKER manufaturer sticker. Is this ok for the seller to do this? I feel compromised for some cheap shot money.

Hmmm...that is odd unless Walker makes these things for STARLA and it's better quality...don't know what to say...
