Walker Quiet-Flow SS 55544 Direct Fit Exhaust Muffler Assembly 2.375" Inlet (ID) 2.25" Outlet (OD) for Toyota RAV4

Still working great!

Received the part in a short amount of wait time. The muffler fitted up just like the original. Sounds much better than my old unit. No Issues or problems, Thanks Walker!

At first glance, I wasn’t sure it would fit, but it went in with little problem. Used an angle grinder to cut old flange bolts and pipe. Needed to shorten existing pipe and clean off old rust, then the new pipe slipped right on. My only gripe is that it doesn’t come with the exhaust gasket or bolts. Trying to find those parts was challenging.

EDIT PART 2 - it has been 3yrs 8 months since installation. The pipe rusted out under the rear hanger and it detached leaving a big hole in the pipe after the muffler. So the “muffler” is still function... however it will need replaced.EDIT - Amazon is great. Due to the defects in the muffler they gave me a 50% refund since I prefer to fix it myself as opposed to returning for a replacement. I'm satisfied with the transaction and have also increased my rate rating to four. Keep in mind I'm giving this a four star rating because it is an affordable mass produced alternative to the very expensive OEM muffler and obviously the quality on this item is going to correlate to the selling price. I deem it an acceptable replacement for the price. (5 stars for Amazon's customer service!!!!!!!!)The muffler is affordable and fit my 2007 RAV4 with no problems. My OEM muffler rusted out pretty bad and was extremely loud. Installation was very easy however when I started the engine to check the muffler for leaks I did in fact find two leaks. Part of the seam had a crack/hole in it toward cat end and there is a pin hole in the muffler itself. I don't really feel like going through the hassle to return the item since its currently on my car, but I'm planning to call Amazon tomorrow to express my concerns with the quality of this product. The construction does not appear to be very stellar and I don't expect this muffler to last more than a few years....but it's still an affordable/functional muffler and way cheaper than buying OEM.

I bought this for my Toyota Rav4 because the OE muffler had a leak and was the muffler was really loud. This Walker exhaust was the most affordable one on the market. At the beginning, it did solved my problem and mufflered the sound. However, within a year, the muffler is rusty and is loud again. While not as loud as my original muffler, it is very noticeable. My guess is that by the 3rd year the muffler will sound just like my leaky OE muffler.Long story short, you pay for what you get. It solved my initial problem and now I have new problem. I would recommend you to pony up a bit more if you could and get something better.Update: 5-20-2024I just got off the phone with an Amazon rep and they informed me that the "Limited Lifetime Warranty" only covers manufacturer defects up to 90 days. So this "lifetime" warranty really means only 90 days. Wow, just what deceitful practice. If it is only 90 days then say 90s days. Stay away from this product. Buy any other muffler out there than this product.I WOULD GIVE THIS NEGATIVE STARS IF I COULD!!!

Why, for the life of me, i cannot fathom. However, if you find yourself predisposed to this special form of self torture, then this muffler may just be the thing you need to fulfill your masochistic designs. I recommend investing in a lift. Buuuut, you probably won't have the thousands of dollars or the space or a shop to house such a purchase. In which case, you'd be sliding around in the rain squeezing beneath your toyota with images of being crushed by your 2 ton machine dancing distractingly around your brain-o-vision. When you've overcome your terror, i suggest you cut the pipe leading from the catalytic convert to the muffler inlet long. Impact wrench and PB blaster for the old bolts on the resonator end. Hang the new muffler in the grommets before making the final cut to length of the cat-back pipe. Then grind the very end just a bit with a grinding wheel to clean your burrs. Connect that end first and work it in there gradually before bolting on the exhaust outlet end. Dont forget a clamp and your gasket and remember that bolts don't come with it, neither do gaskets, and if you don't have them, you will need to also buy nuts because nuts don't come with the bolts.Good luck.

The expanded end is too big to seal with a clamp. Will need to be welded. Also did not come with hardware so I bought the suggested hardware kit and they didn't include the nuts which were welded to the original muffler but not on this replacement. Its also louder than the original muffler. The mounting brackets were welded on the muffler like an after thought and they left soot from the welding on the muffler. Not a big deal but take pride in your work and wipe it off. I ended up cleaning and painting the welds to keep it from rusting out. Wish I had found a Toyota muffler. Overall disappointed.

Some people complained that it was too loud and some said they were unable to install because the pipe on the muffler did not fit the original pipe-let me say that the install was a breeze. I ordered the muffler and the tailpipe/resonator along with a new bolt kit and gasket. Was able to remove the old tailpipe from muffler with no problem, cut the pipe by the muffler inlet and removed the old part. Hung the new muffler on the hangars and connected to the old tailpipe. Got an exact measurement to cut the front pipe and muffler pipe slid right on-no problem. Good quality for the price compared to OEM even though it won’t last as long as the original. Was able to return the ordered tailpipe with no problem.
