Application Details

This AP Exhaust 40012 muffler assembly is built for vehicles that use a welded factory exhaust system. It is listed for 2005-2010 Kia Sportage and 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, with notes indicating the OE system was welded and that replacing all noted parts is recommended during service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 287001F420) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a rusted or perforated muffler assembly
• Restoring exhaust flow after weld failure in the OE system
• Addressing exhaust noise from a damaged muffler body
• Repairing a leaking rear exhaust section on Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson
• Matching the original welded exhaust configuration during service

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and welded exhaust configuration before ordering. Because the OE system was a welded assembly, inspect the related exhaust sections and replace all noted parts as required for a proper repair. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s existing exhaust layout before installation.

Quality Assurance
