Detailed Description

Walker 18987 is an exhaust muffler from the SoundFX Direct Fit line, engineered as a specific replacement for select Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Cadillac Escalade EXT, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL 1500, and Hummer H2 applications. The oval aluminized-steel body measures 28 inches overall, with a 24-inch body length, 9-inch body width, and 7-inch body height.

  • Rust-related muffler deterioration on aluminized or steel exhaust systems
  • Fitment issues when replacing a factory-style muffler on select GM SUVs
  • Service needs on welded exhaust assemblies where related parts must be replaced together
  • Loss of proper exhaust tone after muffler damage or internal wear
