  • 2-inch inlet and 2-inch outlet pipe connections

Product Details

The Walker Quiet-Flow SS muffler line is built around precision fitment, smooth exhaust flow, and a sound level that follows original-equipment expectations. Part Number 21563 uses an oval body measuring 11 inches wide, 5.5 inches high, and 21 inches long, with a 1.5-inch inlet offset and pipe-connection ends for a clean replacement layout. This muffler is a practical choice for drivers servicing a Ford Explorer muffler replacement, a Ford Explorer Sport Trac exhaust repair, or a Mercury Mountaineer muffler service where factory-style fit and sound matter. This part cross-references 6L2Z5230AK and 7L2Z5230A for the same application.

Common Issues This Muffler Can Address

  • Exhaust noise from a worn or rusted muffler
  • Reduced exhaust flow caused by internal deterioration
  • Corrosion-related failure in the muffler body
  • Factory exhaust tone that has become louder or uneven
  • Replacement needs on welded exhaust assemblies when required parts are serviced together

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, N/A; 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, N/A; and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, N/A. Verify inlet and outlet alignment, offset orientation, and overall length before installation. Because this application may involve welded exhaust assemblies, inspect the surrounding exhaust components and replace all required parts as needed for proper fitment.

Quality Assurance
