Walker SoundFX Universal Muffler

Walker SoundFX Universal Muffler 17846 is a universal-fit exhaust muffler built with 100% aluminized steel for extended service life versus low-carbon steel. It combines a quality exterior appearance with controlled acoustics, making it a practical choice for drivers replacing a worn muffler on select full-size GM applications.

Part number 17846 is part of the Walker SoundFX Universal line, which focuses on durable construction and balanced sound characteristics for everyday exhaust service. This oval, combination-style muffler uses offset pipe connections and a steel body to support a clean installation layout on compatible vehicles.

  • Oval body shape with aluminized finish for corrosion resistance
  • 100% aluminized steel construction for longer service life than low-carbon steel

Detailed Description

Walker 17846 measures 23 inches overall with a 19-inch body length, 9.75-inch body width, and 4.25-inch body height.
