Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the gasket style, inside diameter, and flange profile before installation. Match the application position listed for your vehicle, such as manifold to converter, converter to muffler assembly, or front converter to rear converter. Inspect the mating flanges for warping, corrosion, or carbon tracking before assembly, since damaged surfaces can prevent a proper seal. Walker 31658 should be installed on the exhaust joint specified for the vehicle and configuration.
