Walker 22980 Exhaust Muffler

Overview

Walker Noisebraker 22980 is a universal exhaust muffler built to reduce unwanted engine and engine brake noise without sacrificing brake performance. It uses a round steel body with an aluminized finish and center pipe connections for straightforward exhaust system integration.

Key Features

• Universal-fit exhaust muffler for custom and replacement applications
• Round combination muffler design for noise control
• Steel construction with aluminized finish for added corrosion resistance
• 5-inch inlet and 5-inch outlet with center pipe connections
• 44-inch body length and 51-inch overall length for system planning

Product Details

The Walker Noisebraker line combines Walker engineering with solution-driven muffler design to absorb unwanted exhaust noise while maintaining brake performance. Part number 22980 is a regular-grade, non-reversible, non-tunable muffler with a 10-inch body width and 10-inch body height, making it a practical choice for exhaust builders and repair shops working on custom or universal exhaust layouts. Walker 22980 is also a useful reference when sourcing a universal exhaust muffler for domestic, import, or commercial vehicle exhaust systems.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excess exhaust and engine brake noise
• Need for a universal muffler in a custom exhaust setup
• Replacement of a worn or damaged exhaust muffler
• Fitment planning for 5-inch pipe connections
• Packaging constraints in longer exhaust routing layouts

Installation Notes

Verify inlet and outlet diameter, center configuration, and available space before installation. Because this is a universal muffler, final fit depends on the exhaust system layout and pipe fabrication requirements. Confirm alignment with the existing exhaust routing before welding or clamping.

Quality Assurance

Walker positions Noisebraker mufflers within its complete engine-to-tailpipe emissions and exhaust coverage, with engineering focused on noise reduction and system integration.
