Review on ๐Ÿš— Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with the Walker Exhaust Quiet-Flow SS 21197 Exhaust Muffler by Kyle Smernes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NE Direct fit suitable for exhaust and emissions

I have this muffler for my 2000's Chevy orders Metro after checking several websites to make sure it's the right muffler for my car. I could buy a cheaper muffler, take it to a muffler shop, and pay them $50 to carry it, but since it was described as "a perfect fit," I figured I'd pay more for the muffler but save money by wearing him on his own. . When I got the muffler I compared it to the one on the car and it "looked" the same, but after I cut off my muffler and tried to fit this I found it wasn't the same. I couldn't properly line up the exhaust pipe with the muffler and since I had already painted it black I couldn't get it back. I ended up having to go to a muffler shop and have it installed and even they couldn't bend the pipes to line them up exactly. The guy at the store showed me the problem. The standard muffler's intake and exhaust pipes are off-centre, one to the inside of the muffler and the other to the outside, while the Walker has both pipes centered. This results in the inlet tube getting very close to the coil spring and the outlet tube not being centered in the bumper slot. The muffler is also described as having "superior flow", which I understand can result in a slight increase in engine performance. While slightly louder than the stock muffler, I haven't noticed any difference in performance compared to the stock muffler. However, it seems to be a well-made damper.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION -- Direct bolt on replacement solution using OE style hangers, brackets and pipes for easy installation and no special fabrication and/or welding required
Cons
  • Compatibility
