Exhaust question: bosal and walker

Does anyone know if these are interchangable? I.e. Will the bosal intermediate pipe fit a walker muffler assembly? I'm trying to piece together the cheapest possible replacement exhaust to replace a stainless ebay unit. I found the bosal intermediate pipe for $60'shipped--however the bosal muffler assembly is about $100 more, whereas the walker muffler assembly is only $80 more.

Anyone know?

Should be fine. Each are meant to replace OEM so they should line up no problem.

I just replaced mine with the direct fit exhaust muffler from a company called 1A Auto. They also sell a set with the muffler and b-pipe together for $181.45.

Here's the link to the exact direct fit parts they have. As long as you don't have an AE Maxima, you should be good.

You can also find them on EBay, whatever your preference is. Hope this helps.

Agreed. Although not an instant rebate, the $50 gift card is as good as cash when it arrives.

I got that muffler. I liked the fact that the pipes are finished in chrome so no need to buy exhaust tips and its also a carbon copy of the 00-01 stock muffler

Why wouldn't this work with an AE? I'm guessing the tip would hit the back bumper? What's an AE guy to do?
