Review on Walker 21494 Quiet Flow Stainless Muffler by Brad Laverentz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quiet and high quality OEM replacement installation for 2008 2WD Matrix

I have a 2008 2WD Base Toyota Matrix. It is important to note that 4WD is slightly different due to the rear layout and uses different parts. It was originally sourced from OEM Toyota (OEM value $400-$600). to Bosal 228-165 (about $135), then Walker. I'll spare you the trouble, bosal is as loud as a can of cocaine and not worth the trouble, I removed it and installed a walker. For Walker exhaust pipe muffler parts (+intermediate pipe) you usually need to buy cost about US$150*Quiet Flow muffler 21501(US$80)*Walker exhaust pipe 52322(US$25)*Walker intermediate pipe 52453 $35. The grand total is usually around $135-$150. Then you will need: * 2-2 inch exhaust clamps max $10 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C8ZAQY) (Toyota and Bosal are one piece, no clamps needed). and * POSSIBLE Walker Gasket $10 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AX9TJE/ (although you can reuse the old one) Installation went well and the Walker is as good in sound quality as the OEM ( very much For comparison we have another 'good' Toyota Matrix/Vibe with a Toyota OEM muffler.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION -- Direct bolt-on replacement solution uses OE style hangers, brackets and tubing for easy installation and no special fabrication and/or welding required
Cons
  • Great Price
