Key Features

  • Specific-fit exhaust muffler for listed Jeep applications
  • Oval body shape with center inlet and offset outlet configuration
  • 2.25 in. inlet and 2.25 in. outlet inside diameter
  • Aluminized steel body and finish for corrosion resistance

Product Details

Walker SoundFX Direct Fit Part Number 18568 is engineered as a replacement exhaust muffler for 1987-1992 Jeep Cherokee, 1990-1992 Jeep Cherokee, 1996-1999 Jeep Cherokee, 2000 Jeep Cherokee, and 1987-1990 Jeep Wagoneer applications listed in the fitment data. The oval steel body measures 24.5 inches overall length, with a 20-inch body length, 9.75-inch body width, and 4.25-inch body height. The center inlet and offset outlet layout supports the original exhaust routing on the covered vehicles, while the aluminized finish helps the muffler stand up to everyday exhaust heat and road exposure. If you are replacing a Jeep Cherokee muffler with a direct-fit configuration, Part Number 18568 provides a vehicle-specific solution. This part cross-references AP Exhaust (e.g., 700045, 700206) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

  • Exhaust noise from a worn or rusted muffler
  • Corrosion damage to the original muffler body
  • Fitment issues when replacing a factory-style Jeep Cherokee muffler
  • Restricted exhaust flow caused by internal muffler deterioration
  • Need for a direct-fit replacement on select Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer models

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1987-1992 Jeep Cherokee, 1990-1992 Jeep Cherokee, 1996-1999 Jeep Cherokee, 2000 Jeep Cherokee, and 1987-1990 Jeep Wagoneer as listed. Review the vehicle notes before installation, especially for 2000 Jeep Cherokee with Federal Emission System after 01/20/2000 and for vehicles with welded assemblies, where all required parts must be replaced. Confirm the center inlet and offset outlet orientation before installation to match the existing exhaust layout. Part Number 18568 is not reversible and is not tunable.

Quality Assurance

Walker SoundFX Direct Fit mufflers use aluminized steel construction, mechanical interior joints, and spun-locked heads to support durability in exhaust service. The SoundFX Direct Fit line focuses on application-specific replacement fitment and OE-style appearance for the listed Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Wagoneer vehicles.
