Fit like a glove on my 2012 Ford Escape. Good design and good price. I had a problem when I tried to use the Exhaust Clamp Joint Band Sleeve Coupler that you can buy here on Amazon. It would not get a good seal due to the fact that I cut the exhaust pipe after the cat. conv. crooked. I had to get an adapter at the local auto parts store. I think I used a 2 1/4 OD to a 2 1/4 ID, but I'm not sure on that. Use calipers to measure yours. This sealed my exhaust perfectly and got my car back on the road. I puttered around and it took me about 3 hours.

The item was perfect fit as described. I welded the existing exhaust, but clamping would have worked. super quiet as compared to what it was. I am content and like that it is stainless steel.

I grew up trusting Walker exhaust system components. Not any more. This muffler assembly is supposed to perfectly fit over the outlet tube of the rear catalytic converter on my 2009 Mazda Tribute (sister to the Ford Escape). It didn't - and I am the vehicle's original owner, so I know the catalytic converter is a factory part. I had to measure for an adapter, cut the inlet tube to make room for installation of the adapter, and then go to a local auto parts store to purchase the adapter. Once installation was complete, I was satisfied with the results...for about a month. Then baffles inside the muffler began to come loose and rattle. Now my vehicle sounds like a can of marbles anytime the engine rpm is between about 1400 and 2800 rpm. If you've ever had a loose heat shield on an exhaust system, this rattling sound is similar, but louder. In order to get a replacement for this annoying piece of junk, I would have to remove it from the vehicle and ship it back - during which time I would be without use of my vehicle because it could not be legally driven. I suppose I'll put up with it for now, but EVERY time I drive this vehicle I will be cussing Walker and reminding myself not to purchase large automotive parts (that are difficult to return if defective) from Amazon. This is one of several recent purchases from Amazon that turned out to be defective or damaged, so I will be reluctant to purchase anything from Amazon in the future.

Fit like a glove... i would recommend getting clamp and using some exhaust cement. Hopefully it lasts for years.

I purchased this unit and took it to my local muffler shop and he had little difficulty installing it. One issue was that one pipe end was a little dented (even though it was wrapped and inside a carton!) so he had to do his thing to make it perfectly round to fit with the other muffler pipe. The vehicle sounds like new!

Did not come with the exhaust clamp or flange gasket. Had to run around town to get what I needed to do the install. The box was damaged and open at one end they may have fallen out. Other than that it was priced well and was fairly easy to install.

Pipe went over the 2" O.D. exhaust pipe on my 2009- 2.5L FWD escape with plenty of clearance (~1/8")

I got this for a 2011 Mercury Mariner (2.5L) that already had a cut in muffler assembly on it from about 4 years a ago (an off brand that didn't hold up too well). I am hoping to get a longer life out of this Walker replacement. It came in a large box. Inside, both of the ends were very well wrapped in bubble to prevent any damage. Replaced it in the driveway with front end on ramps -- slower and dirtier but it can be done. Removed the current assembly off of the car by cutting the existing clamp at the front end and just before the flange connection on the back end. When the back cut is made, you can unhook and remove the whole tailpipe section from the rear of the car -- with the flanges still bolted together. After that tailpipe assembly is removed (still having the spring bolt flanges connected because of your cut) you can then work on separating the flange connection while everything is off of the car on the ground and out in the open (if you're trying to reuse the tailpipe section like I was). Much easier to deal with the bolted flanges out in the open and you'll have to clean the old gasket out of the tailpipe anyway. When I began to install the new Walker assembly, I found that the stub of existing pipe coming off of the catalytic converter was heavily rusted and slightly out of round from the earlier cut in installation and clamp. I had to use the pipe enlarger (borrowed from a major Auto parts store) to enlarge the female end of the Walker replacement in order for it to slide over the catalytic converter pipe (Walker makes this female end sized for the "perfect condition" catalytic converter pipe -- which most cars no longer have. By enlarging it slightly, it was still a nice snug fit over the converter pipe. Clamped the front and then, having already put the tailpipe section back on the hangers and in position, I bolted the flange connectors back together with a new gasket between them. Naturally, the sound was much quieter than the rusted out assembly that I replaced. Time will tell but this new Walker replacement does look like it is a much better made product than the off brand it replaced. Best to have the pipe enlarger standing by.

Hell yeah awesome product!Only took me about 3 hours. I had to take the tail pipe assembly off in order to get the old gasket out of the flange. You will need a 2.5" exhaust donut gasket to replace the old one.I didn't even jack up my car which also probably added a little time but it wasn't too bad.You will need a Sawzall to cut the old converter? Resonator? Off.Also had to use a metal file because the end of the new muffler assembly that slips over your existing pipe came a little dented... so to make it easier, file & undent edges. Also use sandpaper on existing pipe to get it nice & clean for slip on.Time will tell how it holds up but it was relatively easy & it is super quiet again wow!!

As you can see in the pictures..nothing sides of the muffler were dented. I feel the muffler itself is a good product...but how Amazon chose to deliver it..no box..just a shipping label on it was not ideal adequate enough to protect it.

Bought this to replace a worn-out muffler on a 2011 Ford escape with the four cylinder engine. Fit perfectly and all the hangers lined up. It's nice and quiet now.

A perfect fit on my 2009 Ford Escape XLT.. not sure why in description it says it doesn’t , only thing you need is a pipe expander to connect to the catalytic converter pipe and maybe a donut .. garage swapped it out for $60 bucks under 30 minutes.. quite happy with the purchase and it’s quiet again :)
