Walker Quiet-Flow SS Muffler Assembly

Walker Quiet-Flow SS 55179 is a direct-fit exhaust muffler assembly for select Subaru Legacy models. It combines stainless-steel construction with an OE-style replacement layout to support longer service life than typical aluminized mufflers.

Built for 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy applications, this oval muffler assembly uses an offset inlet and offset outlet configuration for a factory-style exhaust connection. The 2-bolt welded flange inlet and 3-inch tip outlet help match the original exhaust routing on the vehicle.
