Fit like OEM exhaust pipe...pretty easy install

Don’t waste your money Tail pipe rotted out within two months

Went right in. Works great

Fit perfect only had to cut off about 6 inches

I put together a $300 header-back exhaust system for my 99 Jeep Cherokee. I used this Walker Tail Pipe because it had the normal exhaust hanger behind the muffler, but it did not include the horizontal bar welded on towards the rear-end of the vehicle. My jeep uses the hoop/strap style exhaust hanger. I did not need the bar to mount mine, but the Walker tailpipe for my 1999 xj had the bar welded on anyway. Additionally, I knew that I was going to be cutting the tailpipe flush with my leaf spring and putting a turndown on it (see picture), so I didn't want any interference from the unused hanger. It worked well. It is 1.25" pipe and it has the typical crinkle bends that walker is known for.**Note that in the pictures I provided, my old tail pipe was cut off behind the axle. This new pipe appears to be much longer as a result of this. It is actually the same length as a factory tailpipe would be normally, and it fit perfectly when I tried it out prior to the cutting it flush with the leaf spring for better clearance off road.If you are putting together a system, the first thing I would recommend to you is the Bosal downpipe from Autozone. I was most impressed with the build quality of this part over any other part I used. It has a better appearance than the Walker down pipe. It doesn't have all of the crinkle bends that the Walker has.The next recommendation I would give to you is the Nickson band clamps that I bought at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Band clamps usually run about $10-$15 each. At O'Reilly they were $5-$6 each. Band clamps are nice because they hold the exhaust system together without deforming the exhaust pipe as badly as the typical U shaped (guillotine) clamps do. This helps you in the event that you might need to dismantle your exhaust system to remove your transmission in the future.Other than that, i was impressed by how easy it was to cut the exhaust pipe with the exhaust pipe cutting tool (rented from autozone). I used an exhaust pipe expander (rented from autozone) to fit a few of the parts together since they were not perfectly round when they arrived.I had oxygen sensors from NKG sitting on a shelf for the past few years that I had been planning on installing once I got a new exhaust system. They were about $22 each from Rock Auto. The price of those aren't included in the $300 dollars I paid for the exhaust system. Most systems only come with the pipes though, and for $300 I got the band clamps, exhaust hanger, insulator, gasket and all of the pipes.Here is a breakdown of the parts and prices.O'Reilly auto parts:1 Exhaust Clamp 1.25" (Nickson)1 Band clamp 2.50"(Nickson)3 Band Clamps 2.25" (Nickson)1 Gasket (Nickson)1 Insulator (Nickson)1 Rear Hanger (Walker)1 Turndown Exhaust Tip (Nickson)$49.42Autozone:1 Down Pipe (Bosal)1 Exhaust Pipe Cutter (Free Rental)1 Exhaust Pipe Expander (Free Rental)57.99Amazon:1 Catalytic Converter (Walker) $118.79 + tax1 Muffler (Dynomax) $57.21 + tax1 Tailpipe (Walker) $17.55 + taxTotal: $300.96

Fit fine, great price, did have to cut off a few inches at front as expected.

This tail pipe is NOT 2.5" it is stock replacement 2.25" (at best). However, I never seen any information stating it was other than the reviews posted. I took a gamble and now I'll be running an adapter from my 2.5" muffler. Seems solid, not much to ask for here it's a cheap tail pipe that's stock replacement. Would've been sweet if it was 2.5" but hey its only $25. I was fortunate enough that they didn't stick the shipping label on the pipe. They actually zip tied it to it. I wish they would've put some bubble wrap on the ends though. They got marred up pretty bad during shipping but I'm not too worried as this thing is going on a 91 Cherokee built for off road.

For the low price of this item, it's a good buy. Only concern I would say about this item is the tack welds at the hangar bracket--the weld quality varies although this time I got one with a more than adequate weld. I reside in a place where it's a very wet winter and it's the first place to rust-out. The previous 45944 I had of same was a sheepish tack weld at the hangar which separated from the pipe eventually due to heavy corrosion (now I wish I'd beefed up the tack weld some when I got it ). Obviously, the factory tack weld arc heat burned away the aluminized finish in that area, added after the pipe assembly was aluminized (Walker, are you reading this ???!) So this time I cleaned up the area around the tack weld for the hangar on the pipe and sprayed the area with heat paint (exhaust paint) to get some more life out of the purchase.
