Congrats on the car! What a present!

I would advise against the muffler delete. Your car deserves a proper exhaust system. Plus you don't want your new 4 sounding like a civic.

You might also want to check with your local CA emission station - - they do visually check some of the emission related equipment (maybe not a muffler - - but make sure).

Maybe he/she wants it to sound like a civic with an ass canon for a muffler?

Someone I know who lives in the east coast said it sounds just like an E92 335i with the muffler delete. That's what i had done to my 335i and sounded really good nut a lot of drone, which doesn't bother me. Sounds nothing like a civic.

Okay maybe not like a civic but to me, muffler deletes are ghetto. If you want loads of noise, get the Meisterschaft Super GT.

Thank you for backing me up...

Muffler deletes on the 335i sound great for the cost making them a great value just like a used Honda Civic.

The Honda Civic is surely one of the most reliable and most respected cars of all time; its major, if not only, competitor for such a title would be the Toyota Corolla.

With regard to overall reliability, both the Civic and the Corolla are on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Best of 2008 based on Consumer Reports' Reliability Verdicts for the past 10 model years, with the Corolla receiving a perfect Reliability Score of 1.00 and the Civic very close behind with a Reliability Score of .85. By AutoOnInfo.net's 5-year Reliability Percentrank averages for model years 1999 to 2003 (AutoOnInfo.net lets the vehicles age a bit before computing a model's Reliability Percentrank), the Civic edges out the Corolla with a value of .95 to the Corolla's .93. By AutoOnInfo.net's highly selective Best lists for model years 1996 to 2004, the Civic is on 7 (1996,1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004) and the Corolla is on 7 (1996,1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004).

With regard to engine reliability for model years 1998 to 2001, the Civic is on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Best with a perfect Engine Reliability Rating of 1.00, while the Corolla failed to make the list.

With regard to durability, AutoOnInfo.net's roster of 300,000+ mile vehicles rather strongly favors the Corolla. The Corolla has 8 entries, while the Civic has 1 entry (although the Accord has 12 entries to the Camry's 5).* On the other hand, the Civic made Consumer Reports' Good Bets for the Long-Run list of 10 best, while the Corolla did not.

With regard to environmental friendliness, the 1.8-liter manual transmission Corolla edges out the 1.8-liter manual transmission Civic with an ACEEE Green Score of 45 to the Civic's 44. However, the Honda Civic GX, powered by compressed natural gas, has a Green Score of 57 and the Honda Civic Hybrid has a Green Score of 51.
