Product Details
The Walker Quiet-Flow SS line focuses on direct replacement fitment, steady exhaust flow, and a sound profile that stays close to OE expectations. This muffler is shaped for the Sorento’s front exhaust location and uses a stainless-steel oval body measuring 16.000 inches long, 11.000 inches wide, and 5.500 inches high, with an overall length of 27.88 inches. The inlet is offset with a pipe connection, while the outlet uses a center-position 2-bolt welded flange.
