Walker QuietFlowSS yes..Bosal NO!
Just wanted to throw this out there...I know there are all these high performance mufflers out there, but for those that just want a OEM replacement the Walker QuietFlowSS will not disappoint.

I originally had the Bosal muffler that you can buy at the various auto parts store, but it had a harmonic right around 1500rpm. It was also generally louder than the factory muffler. After about 6 months after installing it, it started breaking apart inside and making this loud rattle around 1700-2100rpm..very unnerving!

The Walker muffler was way better. It fit just fine and it was just as quiet as the oem.

Here are the part numbers for the 01-02:
Muffler
54681
Front gasket
31384
Rear gasket
31384

Thank You! Trying to make up my mind between quiet flow and Bosal. How has the quiet flow held up for you?

Glad to hear it worked out! I have a quietflow SS too and love it. Sounds just a tad smoother and deeper than stock but still has the same tone. I love it and it's holding up well so far. It's been on the truck 2+ years and has no rust although I live in Tn so rust isn't a huge concern here.

Any long term reports on this muffler? Mine has a big rusted hole in it and I am currently looking at options for an OEM replacement muffler and tailpipe. This is on the list.

I think this is the one I got cheap off Amazon, it seems good.

Yeah reviews seem very positive. I will probably go with this. (I have California Emissions)

Summit and Amazon have similar prices around $217 with free shipping.

Rockauto has a kit for $240 that includes all gaskets, rubbers, pipe, and muffler but shipping is $44 and killed the deal.

I will probably go with Summit since they are in the neighboring state of Ohio and usually deliver next day.

Summit is great, I've ordered a ton of performance parts for my 4Runner from them and the prices & shipping times are good.

Walker QuietFlowSS Is the closes to oem. But I've read reviews the flanges are not s.s and rust and start leaking after a year or two in the salty states. I had the muffler shop cut and weld the new Walker one on for me because I didn't even want to bother with the rusty bolts on the catalytic converter flange and o2 sensor. Cost me $60 bucks for the shop to cut and weld. Totally worth it.
