Product Description
The Walker SoundFX® 18185 muffler is a premium direct-fit replacement designed for select late-80s/early-90s Honda CRX and Civic models. Constructed from 100% aluminized steel, it provides stronger corrosion resistance and increased durability compared to standard low-carbon steel mufflers. OE-style internal louvered tubes ensure a smooth, quiet, factory-correct exhaust tone, while mechanically joined internal components allow long-term reliability under varying temperature conditions.
This muffler features precise pipe routing and hanger positions to make installation quick and straightforward.
