Walker aluminized exhaust flex pipe 2.5in ID x 18in length with U-bolt clamp, universal fit

Walker 36326 is a universal 18-inch aluminized exhaust flex pipe with 2.5" inlet and outlet IDs, supplied with a U-bolt clamp for flexible exhaust routing and vibration absorption.

When repairing or modifying an exhaust system, the Walker 36326 provides a corrosion-resistant, flexible connection to reduce stress from engine movement and simplify alignment between rigid sections. This universal kit includes an 18-inch length of aluminized flex tubing sized for 2.5" inner diameters on both ends and a U-bolt clamp to secure the joint—ideal for custom exhaust installs, small repairs, or as a replacement part when an OEM flex section is damaged.

Will this flex pipe fit my vehicle?

The Walker 36326 is designed as a universal component, so fit depends on matching pipe diameters and available exhaust routing space. Verify your vehicle's exhaust inner diameter and measure the gap you need to bridge; some fabrication or welding may be needed for a permanent install.

• 2.5" inner diameter inlet and outlet—confirm your exhaust ID.
• 18" overall flex length—measure the required span before purchase.
• Universal application—may require cutting, bending, or welding.
• Check item notes or fit guides for any vehicle-specific considerations.

How does the Walker flex pipe handle heat and corrosion?

This flex pipe is constructed from aluminized steel, offering improved resistance to rust and high-temperature exposure compared with plain steel. The aluminized finish helps extend component life in exhaust environments while the braided flex section provides movement without compromising the metal's integrity.

• Aluminized steel resists oxidation and surface corrosion.
• Designed for high-temperature exhaust gases encountered under the vehicle.
• Flexible braided section reduces stress on joints and welds.
• U-bolt clamp secures the connection to reduce leaks and movement.

What tools and skills are needed to install this flex pipe?

Installation can be straightforward for experienced DIYers but may require welding for a durable, leak-free result. Basic tools allow a clamp-on repair, while a professional-style installation typically uses cutting tools, pipe alignment equipment, and welding to ensure longevity.

• Basic clamp-on installation: saw, files, ratchet set, torque wrench.
• Permanent install: MIG/TIG welding equipment and experience recommended.
• Hanger supports or brackets may be needed to maintain pipe alignment.
• Always measure twice and test for leaks after installation.

How does this part work with other Walker exhaust components?

The Walker 36326 is intended to integrate with Walker mufflers and catalytic converters to form a complete exhaust upgrade or repair. Using matching Walker accessories can simplify installation and maintain consistent material properties across the exhaust system.

• Works as an intermediary between rigid sections such as mufflers and pipes.
• Compatible with Walker catalytic converters and mufflers when diameters match.
• Using Walker clamps and hangers ensures material compatibility and fit.
• Can be part of a staged exhaust replacement or custom fabrication job.

Who is this for: The Walker 36326 flex pipe is aimed at mechanics, fabricators, and do-it-yourself vehicle owners who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant flexible section for exhaust repairs or custom installations. If you require a 2.5" inner diameter flex connection, want an 18" flexible span, and either have the tools for welding or plan a clamp-style temporary join, this kit provides the tubing and a U-bolt clamp needed to complete the job.
