I have a 96 Honda accord with 213,000 miles, it drives nicely, I think the muffler is really loud though. What causes that? Should I replace it?

The muffler usually rusts from the inside. Then, it won't 'muffle' the engine noise anymore. Replace the muffler if it's bad.

1997 honda accord loud buzz near engine when accelerator pressed?

Sounds like either: 1) A exhaust heatshield is loose. They're simply thin metal guards around your muffler/CATS. If you find one loose, remove it or have it welded back on. 2) Broken motor mount. This is serious and requires pulling the engine from the car. If a motor mount is broken, the engine wont sit right and cause multiple vibrations. Hope this helped!

While driving the car it is very loud inside of the car, there are no warning lights on and we had it checked out and nothing is wrong with the muffler.

Your not describing the sound. Loud could mean anything. Is it loud when the car is just sitting at idle or only while driving? Loud could be a component failure such as a alternator or wheel bearing. Give more info.

Common problems with 92 honda 5 speed

A/C Problem usuallyabout 200,000 miles (specifically high pressure hose leaks and compressor clutch usually within 30,000 miles of the hose going.)
At about 250,000 miles or so the main relay goes usually at about 290,000 Torque convertor in Automatic Transmission starts to slip.. Manual tranny can't say too much there depends on how you drive . replace clutches at every 50K or at 150K depends on driver.The cat and the mufflers usually go at abot 190,000 give or take (depends how much water you drove threw). Lastly fast idle cam valve about every 120,000. As you can see this is a great car to own.

your going to have to be more specific but there is a such thing as a flex pipe its rite under where the driver seat is under the car it connects to the exhaust they usually go back and the car gets really noisy if you look under the car they look like a pipe thats weaved metal like a basket but its a flex pipe.
