Great deal
You need two 2 1/4 clamps. If you don't have a welder I would probably get the resonator also. I had to weld a connector on to the resonator. Cutting the old muffler off left no room before the bend to clamp on. I also used an extra connector on the front just to ease installation (need an extra clamp). It fits loose into old hanger. But isn't that big of a deal. There is no vibration noise. This is a Universal muffler, if you don't want to have to tweak the install. I would recommend the direct fit muffler.

Inexpensive but not an exact fit
The website claimed this is an exact fit for my 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager. It most certainly is not. Three issues: The overall size is 20% smaller than the original and the mounting band/strap was way too big to hold this securely. Had to make a huge "Jerry-Rig" to hold it in place. Second, the inlet and outlet are not located similarly to the original. Had to torque the exhaust pipe to fit into the offset inlet. Third, the 2.25" outlet is too big to accept the stock tailpipe/resonator. Had to buy a short adapter pipe and lop off 3" of the exhaust outlet to fit the whole thing together. Got to reuse the chopped part of the outlet in the Jerry Rig though ;-) It was most certainly not an "exact fit" but the price was right.

A lot of work with a 3.3 minivan
Best - Use Walker SoundFX 18559 instead of 18690, an exact match for stainless version 21275 at HALF the ... Our Plymouth van is 190K-15yrs old. If insisting on 18690 (good product, poor application), you must 1. Use Walker 41956 extension, 2. Connect the muffler out to the resonator with 2.25 to 2 reducer pipe or bushing, and 3. Extreme shim or modify OEM muffler strap (Walker 36234) A LOT OF EXTRA WORK and you don't save much green!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Needs extra parts
Staff Reviewer -
Not happy that when purchasing, the employees did not tell me I needed adapters to make this fit. I ordered it with the name and year of my vehicle and was not told it needed extra parts to make it work.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Good price bad fit.
Verified Buyer -
The price was good but had to buy extensions to make the product fit.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
DON'T BUY IT TO REPLACE 50055! NOT a replacement!
It has NO mounting bracket and is 2 inches shorter then 50055. notice it has NO description section (so i did not know its lenght) and only 1 year warranty ! I had to return it and use the 50055.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
