The muffler fits my 2003 caravan's hitch just like the old one but I had to add a Walker 57020 extension pipe to the intermediate pipe from the catalytic converter to fix this to compensate for almost a foot difference in front pipe length between the old muffler and the new one. Be sure to order TWO 2 1/4 clamps for the front pipes. The silencer arrived unpackaged and was dented. at both ends of the pipe. Don't forget to straighten them before installing the muffler on the hangers. I use a small wrench to pry out the dents. I reused the resonator and tubes by carefully trimming them flush from the old muffler. Poor fit in the new muffler as the rear pipe has almost no flat surface.
