Key Features

  • Direct fit exhaust resonator for select Subaru vehicles
  • Round steel body with aluminized finish for corrosion resistance
  • 2.25 in. inlet and 2.25 in. outlet sizing
  • 2-bolt welded flange inlet with pipe connection outlet
  • Center inlet and center outlet configuration
  • Designed to deliver OE-style sound and flow characteristics
  • Walker part number 21648 for catalog and cross-reference use

Product Details

Walker 21648 is engineered as an exhaust resonator replacement that follows the original system layout closely. The 19-inch round body measures 3.5 inches in height and width, with a steel construction and aluminized finish for a practical balance of fit and durability. Walker uses precise tuning methods to help maintain factory-like exhaust tone while supporting smooth exhaust flow. This part number 21648 is a direct-fit solution for Subaru owners looking to restore the original resonator function without changing the system design.

This part cross-references AP Exhaust 54936 for the same application.
