Product Details
Walker SoundFX Direct Fit Part Number 18409 is an oval, regular-grade muffler with a steel body, 24-inch overall length, 21-inch body length, 9.75-inch body width, and 4.25-inch body height. The inlet uses a 2.5-inch pipe connection with an offset configuration and 2.875-inch inlet offset, while the outlet uses a 2.25-inch pipe connection with a center configuration.

This muffler is listed for applications including 1975-1977 Pontiac Grand LeMans and Grand Prix, 1975-1976 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala, 1975-1976 Buick LeSabre and Riviera, and 1989-1990 Cadillac Fleetwood. It also appears in fitment for 1980-1988 Dodge Ramcharger and 1982 Chevrolet G10/G20/G30 and GMC G1500/G2500/G3500 vans, making Walker 18409 a useful search match for owners needing a direct-fit exhaust muffler for these specific vehicles.
