Product Details

SoundFX™ Steel Oval Aluminized Exhaust Muffler (17831) by Walker®. Optional. Muffler Inlet Diameter: 2.5". Muffler Outlet Diameter: 2". Muffler Body Length: 21". Muffler Overall Length: 26". Muffler Configuration: Offset - Offset. This muffler is the right choice if you opt for quality acoustics and performance. Walker offers 100% aluminized steel universal fit SoundFX Mufflers designed to maintain a quality appearance and agreeable exhaust tone.

The SoundFX Muffler by Walker is a quality and cost-effective repair alternative. These mufflers are available in both direct-fit or universal configurations. Direct-fit mufflers are designed as a direct OE replacement and constructed specially for your car and perfectly match the OE muffler in size, shape and hanger placement. This configuration allows for easy, worry-free installation. Universal fit muffler is a more economical option as it is not vehicle-specific.

Each SoundFX Muffler is manufactured from 100% aluminized steel for greater durability and quality appearance. It features reinforced bracketed heads that help improve structural support and stability. One of the reasons of premature muffler failure is rupture from backfires. To provide effective resistance from backfire and exhaust gas leakage, SoundFX Muffler heads are spun-locked to the shell. Internal tubes are mechanically joined to prevent spot weld breakage and flow tube deformation.

Excellent Bang (or Lack thereof) for You
I purchased this fella for my 85 Firebird. I'm doing a rebuild on a tight budget for kicks, and am thoroughly impressed. I might as well be driving a Prius lmoa. A fantastic steal if you need a stock muffler, no need to sound like a Honda Civic with its camber adjusted and vape clouds billowing out your window. ;)

Walker SoundFX Muffler
Product took a little longer to ship due to back order but the customer service department took care of me and got one out to me asap! Packaged nicely, looks great on my 1976 F150, easy to install took about 30 minutes with a little tweaking had to go to my local auto store and pick up an adapter to fit my pipes. Overall happy with the muffler!

Walker 17871 Muffler
I bought this to use in my diesel generator. Most sites make you choose by vehicle make, model, and year. I was looking for specific inlet and outlet measurements. CARiD is the only site I found that gave dimensions and didn't make me choose a car to put it on. Though the muffler is small, it's perfect for quieting my generator exhaust noise. I'm very happy with the product and the service.

Great muffler
The original muffler on my 93 Saab was completely rusted out and became super loud, so I purchased this one. This is a very quiet muffler and for the price cannot be beat. I attached my new bracket strap to the existing spot and slid the new muffler over the cut exhaust pipe. I tightened the strap around the muffler and put a clamp around where the new muffler met the pipe. I did not remove my rear tire to do this but I did back my car up onto ramps. It took ten minutes to install and now my car is very quiet.

Solid well built!
I used this muffler on my emergency home generator. The connection between the generator motor and muffler was made with a Walker Exhaust 40002 Flex Tubing-Steel and 1 5/8" clamp (at engine) and a 1 3/4" clamp (at muffler). The flex tubing needed to be expanded (using and exhaust expander) to go over the muffler inlet.

Much Better Than The OEM
Really like the quality the quietness and the performance overall. Very happy and it was easy plug and Play. Of course it will take some effort to get rid of the older one.
