Product Details

Walker SoundFX Direct Fit Part Number 18831 is engineered as a combination muffler with a 9.75-inch body width, 4.25-inch body height, and 21-inch body length. The aluminized steel construction helps resist corrosion in everyday exhaust service, while the direct-fit design supports a cleaner installation on the listed vehicle applications.

The SoundFX Direct Fit product line focuses on replacement mufflers that match the vehicle’s original exhaust layout more closely than universal parts.

This part cross-references TYC 700360 for the same application.

  • Exhaust noise caused by a damaged internal muffler structure
  • Restricted exhaust flow from a deteriorated muffler assembly
  • Fitment problems from using a universal muffler in an OE-style system
