Product Description
The Walker SoundFX® 18133 universal muffler is built to deliver reliable performance, long service life, and OE-style acoustics for custom exhaust systems and replacement applications. Constructed from aluminized steel with durable mechanical joints, this muffler withstands thermal cycling and corrosion better than standard low-carbon steel alternatives.
Its universal design with a center inlet and dual offset outlets allows flexible adaptation to many full-size GM trucks from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, as well as custom exhaust builds requiring a large-capacity oval muffler.
