Detailed Description

Walker 18298 is an aluminized steel exhaust muffler designed for direct replacement on select Ford F-150, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 trucks. The 7-inch body width, 7-inch body height, and 25-inch body length support a compact round profile, while the 31.25-inch overall length and offset pipe connections help match the original exhaust layout on covered vehicles. This part cross-references TYC 700001 for the same application.

As part of the Walker SoundFX Direct Fit product line, this muffler is built for buyers who need a replacement that follows the factory-style fitment pattern without tuning or reversible configuration. If you are searching for a 1980-1986 Ford F-150 muffler, a 1980-1986 Ford F-250 muffler, or a 1980-1985 Ford F-350 muffler, Part Number 18298 is a direct-fit option to consider.
