Detailed Description

This Walker exhaust pipe is engineered for Ford Focus exhaust repair and replacement work where correct flange style and exact routing matter. The aluminized finish helps the steel resist everyday exhaust heat and corrosion, while the fixture-checked manufacturing process supports proper alignment during installation. Walker 52488 is a practical choice for restoring exhaust flow on 2003-2009 Ford Focus models with the listed emission-system configurations.

This part cross-references Gates 28815 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a rusted or damaged exhaust pipe section
• Restoring exhaust sealing at welded flange connections
• Correcting exhaust leaks that trigger noise or odor concerns
• Repairing fitment issues after prior exhaust work on a Ford Focus
• Supporting emissions-system-specific exhaust service on 2003-2009 Ford Focus models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s emission system before ordering, since fitment varies by California Emission System, Federal Emission System, and Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle applications. Confirm flange orientation and exhaust routing against the original pipe before installation. For best results, inspect adjoining gaskets, fasteners, and mating surfaces for wear or corrosion before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this pipe with precision benders and fixture checks to help maintain consistent dimensions and fit. The aluminized steel construction is selected for durability in exhaust service, and the part is built as a specific-fit replacement for the listed Ford Focus applications.
