AP Exhaust 18162 Exhaust Pipe for Buick Rendezvous

AP Exhaust 18162 is an aluminized steel exhaust pipe made as an original equipment replacement for the center exhaust position. It is built for 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous applications and follows the OE system layout for a direct-fit repair approach.

Key Features

  • Aluminized steel construction for exhaust system service
  • Original equipment replacement part for OE-style fitment
  • Center exhaust pipe application
  • Fits 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous, center
  • Part number 18162 for catalog and service identification

Detailed Description

This AP Exhaust exhaust pipe is intended for the center section of the exhaust system on the Buick Rendezvous. The aluminized steel material provides a practical balance of corrosion resistance and service life for everyday exhaust repair work. AP Exhaust 18162 is specified as an original equipment replacement, making it a direct option when restoring the factory exhaust routing on 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous models.

Fitment language for this part is straightforward: Fits 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous, center. The OE system on this vehicle was a welded assembly, so AP Exhaust notes that related parts identified in the system should be replaced as needed during service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

  • Exhaust pipe corrosion in the center section
  • Cracks or leaks in the factory exhaust routing
  • Restricted exhaust flow caused by damaged piping
  • Noise from a failing center exhaust pipe
  • Service issues on a 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous exhaust system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and center-position routing before installation. Because the OE system was welded, inspect adjoining exhaust components and replace any worn related parts during the repair to maintain proper alignment and sealing. Confirm the pipe matches the existing exhaust layout on the Buick Rendezvous before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

AP Exhaust manufactures replacement exhaust components for OE-style service applications. Part number 18162 is built as an original equipment replacement using aluminized steel for the specified Buick Rendezvous fitment.
