Thanks for the replies.

I should have explained in the beginning - my 94 Accord has 60k
miles on it, and a lot of that is short hauls of a couple miles or
less. So it's no wonder the muffler has died.

But, you know, at 4k miles per year, I just wonder if the
aftermarket muffler wouldn't be good enough. Unless, of course,
they just don't fit right.
