Detailed Product Description
The Walker Quiet-Flow SS 21683 exhaust muffler features a reflection design that reduces noise by reflecting sound waves within the muffler chamber.

The muffler is constructed from aluminized stainless steel, providing enhanced durability and resistance to rust and corrosion over time. The inlet and outlet pipe connections are offset, with a 3.5-inch inlet offset, facilitating easier installation and alignment within the exhaust system. The inlet inside diameter is 2.5 inches, while the outlet inside diameter is 2.25 inches, both designed for pipe connections. This muffler is not reversible or tunable, focusing on a straightforward replacement application.
