I'm responding on my old phone here. So the internet is kinda shady. Does Walker make a complete manifold back system? Once I get in front of the computer, I'll research it further. Can you leave a link for me, thanks once again. It's time to replace everything. The O2 sensors are fairly new, btw.

which brand, the prices vary like crazy.
Not if you can avoid it. A replacement as good as the original is very expensive.

Okay, I see the link now on the computer and ordered it from muffler express, thanks Oldblue. Yes, I agree with the OEM lasting longer than aftermarket exhaust.

Converter and muffler arrived last week. The resonator pipe is "delayed". at amazon. It was supposed to be here on July 5th by 10 pm but the changed their mind. So I canceled that order and found it at CARiD much cheaper. Even though it has a $24 dollar shipping fee, its still less cash than amazon. They listed 4 of them in stock so its on its way.

Installed and it sounds fine. A noticeable improvement in "pep' also.

Had to purchase longer exhaust isolators ( rubber hangers) the 2 on the muffler ( farthest back) allowed the muffler mount ( steel rod) to make contact with the frame . I tried an extra rubber hanger and slide it over the steel rod and in between the frame and that still allowed a slight vibration sound. Half inch longer hangers cured everything. 2 in the back and the next one up on the resonator pipe. Probably less than $12 for all 3. I also replace the converter to manifold gasket, 1 that didnt have the steel band in it. That was an improvement as well Nice and quiet now.
