My mechanic wanted $500 to replace my broken muffler. This part was connected with a gasket and two screws on one side and slid into the rear of the hanger. I didn't have to jack up the car, I did it in 20 minutes. For my 2006 Civic Hybrid, which I've owned for over 15 years and clocked nearly 200,000 miles, this was another savings of many. gotta love it!
