95 Civic EX Muffler Question

I have a 1995 Honda Civic EX that desperately needs a muffler. I have checked with the auto part stores and they continue to mention that their muffler doesn't fit the 95 EX 4dr Sedan Japan Production model. I believe that mine is a Japan Production one as under the hood it says "Honda Motor Co. Made in Japan".

Is this right? However are there differences between the mufflers.

Thanks!

Also just checked my VIN, that designates it as a Japan built civic as well.

I'm no professional but did they show you a picture of it at all? Usually if it looks close like the hangers are in the right spots and the pipe goes the right way then it will fit. i used a thrush dynomax muffler that was made for a diff. car. i just cut the pipes and used the little extention things.. i do have a welding torch though.. but in your case i dont see there being any difference?
