The Walker 22268 Quiet-Flowâ„¢ Driver Side Stainless Steel Oval Exhaust Muffler is engineered to provide a direct-fit replacement for original equipment (OE) mufflers, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. Constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this muffler offers enhanced durability and longevity compared to traditional aluminized steel options. The internal design features bridge construction and durable internal partitions, which allow for expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations, thereby minimizing distortion and extending the service life of the component. Spun-locked heads and OE-style spot welds further contribute to the structural integrity and stability of the muffler. For acoustic performance, the muffler utilizes OE-style louvered tubes and domed heads, effectively reducing noise levels and delivering a premium, factory-like sound quality. An internal drainage system is incorporated to prevent moisture accumulation, mitigating the risk of internal corrosion. Designed for easy installation, the muffler includes OE-style hangers, brackets, and pipe routings, eliminating the need for specialized fabrication or welding. This comprehensive design approach ensures that the Walker 22268 Quiet-Flowâ„¢ Muffler not only meets but exceeds the performance and durability standards expected in the heavy-duty truck and fleet operations sector.
