WHAT IS AN EXHAUST SYSTEM?Vital for fuel economy and the environment, your vehicle’s exhaust system carries away harmful gases that are created during the combustion process. The exhaust system not only keeps dangerous gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from entering the cabin but it also "cleans up" the gases before they are released into the environment. Here are the components of an exhaust system:
 SIGNS OF MUFFLER WEARMufflers primarily deteriorate from the inside out due to the acidic moisture produced by the combustion process. Other signs you may need to replace your muffler include noise coming from the muffler, a foul odor from not properly filtering exhaust gases or a distorted body shell.  HOW TO TORQUE FLANGESProgressively tighten bolts on flanges to avoid exhaust system leaks, gasket & stud failure and premature system fatigue & failure. For example, if the nuts require 60-ft-lbs of torque, start by torquing all nuts to 20-ft-lbs, then 40-ft-lbs and finish at 60-ft-lbs. For Y-pipes secure both sides simultaneously, tightening in a rotating sequence between both pipes. For manifold converters, begin sequence in the middle & work evenly out between both sides.  CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLAMPManufactured from premium steel, these clamps are available in multiple varieties of saddle, band and wire ring clamps. Selecting the correct clamp style is critical for achieving desired levels of sealability, durability and serviceability. May require separate purchase.  WHY MUFFLER QUALITY MATTERSWHY MUFFLER QUALITY MATTERSWhen choosing which muffler to go with, always consider muffler quality. Traditional mufflers are often made of two layers of aluminized steel and can lead to corrosion as moisture becomes trapped between the layers. Whereas, a single shell stainless-steel muffler is less susceptible to corrosion, leading to longer life of the muffler. Other consideration factors include the number of partitions for better reaction to temperature changes and the style of tubes for better sound control. DescriptionFeaturing 100% aluminized steel for longer service life compared to low-carbon steel, Walker SoundFX® direct-fit mufflers deliver quality appearance and favorable acoustics while mechanical interior joints and spun-locked heads provide durability.

I didn''t actually get to install this on the truck as I sold it before install. I compared it to the OEM and it was a really good replacement. I did sell it with the truck and have not heard back from the owner.

I won''t get to install it for a while, but I trust what I see. Had this truck about 23 yrs and have personally changed its muffler several times. They normally last me 5 to 7 years depending on use.

Sounds just like stock if not quieter. Fit perfectly on my 2000 Ranger stock exhaust (don''t know why amazon says it wont fit when I''m pretty sure this thing is designed for it). I will say that it is a hair smaller than the stock muffler in length so I did have to adjust my rear tailpipe hanger after cutting out my old muffler, but I was expecting this so it was no big deal. For the price its a great deal, we will see how it holds up!
