I've had my exhaust break twice and it's exactly like you describe: very loud, lots of vibration, and huge loss of power. good luck getting it repaired

anyway...
Do you remember about how muchitcostto fix it?

ORIGINAL: mikezcdx

loss of power could be that you a a bunch of people in the car
I thought so too, but then i dropped them off and it was same. Basically the car makes alot of noise, and sounds like its going fast, but its not.

loss of power could be that you a a bunch of people in the car, then your exhaust pipebroke. could be coincidental, get the pipe fixed first, then test drive it by yourself. cause i do know that stock honda engines dont like more than 2 passengers. there a little picky bout stuff like that.
good luck
UM.... WTF I have never heard that about more than two passengers. I drove with three with some not so light people and it was fine. I think that your statement dosent hold water.

Of course you always feel when you have extra passangers in the car, the smaller and weaker the car, the more your feel. But it's not that dramatic of course...

ROFL Now you know what it feels like to be a Ricer.

BTW want your power back without losing that awful sound? Add a short ram air intake worked on my stepbrother's DX with missing muffler, has more power at high RPM now...

Ya, the sound is nice I may look into that; I am trying to check the Automatic Transmssion Fluid, but lost my car manual. Is there an online version of the manual or does someone know where to checkthe fluid(1995 Civic EX, has stock engine) ?

Took it to Midas, spent $89.00 for a new resinator. (& much more for labor)Good deal?, & what exactly does it do? I feel I have a little more response in the lower RPMs than I ever had before, but im not sure about higher RPMs, gotta take it on the highway..

you dont need to hear about anything, you can feel it in the car. ask anyone and they will agree when i say that you can feel a difference in power when there a couple of passengers in the car. on a stock motor. i have an ls in my hb and can still feel the wieght difference, its undeniable.
