it isn't exactly the "muffler" that is removed. it is the whole axleback part of the exhasut. very easy to do. you don't even need to jack the car up. just remove the two 12mm bolts, and wiggle the rubber exhaust hangers off.
Hello! Took out the muffler yesterday and I love the way it sounds, I went to some muffler shops here in Fayetteville, NC and asked if they could make a straight pipe, problem is they want to cut the flange from my old exhaust which I don't want to do for inspection purposes. Where can I get an exhaust flange that will fit for a reasonable price?
I got to hear my buddy, Fitftw's Fit today. I was really amazed how good it sounded, better then those aftermarket exhaust I'm just worried that fumes are gonna kill me soon. haha.
After 8 months of running with this mod done and no aditional piping added I must concur on the fumes part. I have noticed a bit of weird dizyness from time to time at night. Either I'm really tired after I finish my days at 11pm or there's something leaking in to the cabin. All I know is that now I'm in a rush to get my 60mm Skunk2 exhaust!
i took mine off to see how it sounds and im gonna go to a shop and get the piping done...in the mean time does anybody know how much trouble you can get into for running without a muffler(if any)?
The Fit running without a muffler isnt THAT loud. Its about as loud as a fit with an aftermarket exhaust. So sound shouldnt be an issue. The only problem im having is being paranoid of the fumes. But after lots of freeway driving today i no longer am paranoid of fumes leaking.

^ nah bro, ran the car for about 2 hours. Windows Closed. WOT every once in a while with 4 people in the car. No one died. No one got headaches or dizzyness or nothing.
I'm pretty sure my dizyness is attributed to late night tiredness. BTW, one more observation, I've been running without the axelback nor any extra pipe work to extend the tip to the bumper and the underside hasn't gotten chared or anything. I do clean my car's undercarriage once every few weeks though but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Ditto on the need for a flange source. I'm needing another flange and gasket so I can fabricate my own tail pipe & muffler setup. If anybody knows of a source for those parts, I'd love to see it. I've got another OEM Fit muffler assembly, but I hate to waste it by cutting off just the flange part. Plus, I'd like to go with 2.0-2.25" tube as well, for a future upgrade to the B-pipe.
