Detailed Description

Walker 18201 is a direct-fit exhaust muffler engineered around the original vehicle layout for select 1983-1992 GM midsize cars. It uses a 2.25-inch inlet, 2-inch outlet, and an oval steel body measuring 29.5 inches overall, with a 18-inch body length and 4.25-inch body height. The aluminized finish helps resist corrosion in normal service, while the offset inlet and center outlet configuration support OE-style routing.

This muffler is listed for applications including 1984-1985 Buick Century, 1984-1985 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1984-1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1983-1985 Pontiac 6000, 1986-1992 Buick Century, 1986-1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1988-1991 Pontiac 6000, 1988-1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, and 1988-1989 Chevrolet Celebrity. Walker SoundFX Direct Fit Part Number 18201 is a practical choice when replacing a worn factory muffler on these platforms.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6591 for the same application.
