No they're Walker parts EXCEPT the left (Ford) muffler. So that oughta look odd under there in a few years. But for now they've sat outside in the elements since Feb, and look like new. I'm trying to avoid the salt these days in favor of driving the MGM on those days. 175k on that one.
Bolts were stuck in the cat to h pipe flange, local shop wanted to slice the flanges off and weld pipes. Lazy! Then when you have to drop the trans, I guess you are cutting the exhaust up. It took a few hours, yeah I cut the bolt head and speed nut off, Cut through the flange mating surface...Would not hammer out. So I had to go up one drill size at a time from pilot hole to 3/8.... carbide bits too. The HF fake yellow CryTanium bits would not make a scratch. believe me I was swinging a 2 lb maul onto a center punch = nothing. Saying all this for any future exhaust swappers who might be reading this....
