Using your DC Sports exhaust system is a breeze. First, make sure your Honda Accord engine is cool before starting the installation. Since it bolts directly to OEM equipment, you won't need to make any modifications, but double - check the connections are tight. When you're driving, you'll immediately notice the improved sound and performance. As for maintenance, periodically check the exhaust pipes for any signs of rust or damage. Clean the pipes with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the stainless - steel finish. Remember, this system does not include the front pipe, so if you have any issues with it, you'll need to address it separately.
