Description of ๐ Walker Quiet-Flow 53517 Exhaust Muffler Assembly for Enhanced Engine Performance
CORROSION RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL -- The only broad-market muffler with 100% stainless-steel construction that delivers longer life versus aluminized mufflers while an internal drainage system reduces moisture collection. EASY TO INSTALL -- Direct-fit bolt-on replacement solution with OE-style hangers, brackets and pipe routings for easy installation and doesn't require specialized fabrication and/or welding. BUILT TO LAST -- Internal partitions and mechanically joined tubes allow expansion and contraction during temperature changes to minimize distortion while spun-locked heads and OE-style spot welds provide stability and longer service life. PREMIUM ACOUSTIC CONTROL -- OE-style louvered tubes lower noise levels while OE-style domed heads help reduce radiated noise for premium factory-style sound quality compared to straight perforated tubes. DESIGN VALIDATED -- Acoustic and flow tested for quality OE-style sound you can count on.
I purchased this stainless steel exhaust system for my sports car and it has exceeded my expectations. The installation was easy and the sound is just right โ not too loud, nor too soft. I have noticed a great improvement in performance and fuel efficiency. The high-quality construction guarantees durability, which is essential for any automotive enthusiast. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey compared to other systems on the market.
Pros
easy installation, improved performance and fuel efficiency, high-quality construction
Dents, leaking seams, exhaust half welded and half welded sticky weld. I also bought a resonator from another store of the same Walker brand and the seams were leaking. Stay away from WALKER exhaust systems. Too many hours looking for problems that shouldn't have happened.
I used this to replace the rear flex pipe exhaust on a 2004 Honda Accord (2.4L). The muffler stood up and sounded good. I paired this with a Walker 48336 resonator/middle tube. If you do this, make sure you stick to the same manufacturer for at least those two parts. For example, do not mix a Bosal muffler with a Walker midpipe or vice versa. The union connection for two different brands is in different places. I hope this muffler lasts longer than the last Quietflow SS muffler I installedโฆ
