Product Details

Walker SoundFX Universal 18174 is part of the SoundFX universal muffler line, which focuses on practical exhaust replacement with a quality finish and predictable acoustics. The aluminized finish helps resist corrosion better than low-carbon steel, while the offset inlet and outlet layout supports a range of exhaust routing needs. This muffler is a strong option for exhaust repair work on vehicles such as the Honda Accord, Ford Taurus, and Mercury Sable when the application calls for a universal muffler solution rather than a direct bolt-on part. Part Number 18174 is also referenced under TYC 700255 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn, rusted, or noisy muffler
• Restoring exhaust tone after muffler failure
