Walker Exhaust pipe

[chevylookin]

A "walker exhaust" is basically a semi-rigged flexible tube , right? Summit sells em. But why do you want something like that?

I want an oem pipe that walker serviced in the beginning, one piece of pipe to muffler then tail pipe. I have a tail pipe in my posession now just need the the front pipe to complete oem set up. Summitt says the have one on the website but they do not. This not for any type of racing set up, just a plain old 250/ auto.

Ya, looks like every online source is out of stock. You may need a muffler shop to make one.

Part is WALKER 48111.

Thats correct 48111 appears to be the number needed .As a young man I remember going to the parts stores and there would be various prebent exhaust pipes hanging from the ceiling for different vehicles. Automotive builders seem to retool every year now but not so years ago and that why so many 60-66 truck parts interchange. Thanks all for your insight! Oh fo the good old days!!!

autozone.com has both pieces; the front pipe is part number 48111 and its $75, the tail pipe is part number 44144 and its $42. I have used both of these on my truck and they have lasted just as long as any other exhaust pipe i have had. rockauto.com actually has the exact same tail pipe for $27.

Try a different muffler shop. I had purchased the Walker pieces but wasn't satisfied with the way the bends looked. They had a lot of ridges.
Stopped by my local muffler shop. He had a "recipe book" that told him where to bend some new pipe. He bent both pieces and it fit great. Best of all, his prices were cheaper than the Walker pipe from Autozone. He handed me the pipes and I did the installation myself at home.
I did end up making the down pipe shorter so the exhaust would tuck up closer to the frame but that was no big deal.
Here's a link to some pics on my website. 1965 short stepside.

Your ability to document your work is amazing.

No, Walker is a company that manufactures a wide variety of replacement exhaust pipes, mufflers, etc --> http://www.walkerexhaust.com/ That semi-rigid flexible exhaust tubing is just one of the many products they offer.

l79m20 is looking for one of their pre-bent exhaust pipes. I believe it is either #48111 (for 127" wheelbase) or #46132 (for 115" wheelbase) according to an old Walker catalog I have here.
