Questions and answers
- Will the Walker 55564 fit my Grand Cherokee?
- Not as a direct fit. It is a universal pipe, so it needs custom cutting, clamping or welding. The Jeep mid-pipe is the direct-fit option for 2005-2010 Grand Cherokee models.
- Which one is easier to install?
- The Jeep mid-pipe. It is a bolt-on kit with gaskets, clamps and hardware included. The Walker pipe is a bare universal part that usually needs fabrication.
- Does the Jeep mid-pipe keep my emissions legal?
- Jeep states it maintains emissions compliance and leaves emissions equipment intact. The Walker pipe makes no compliance claim.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both are aluminized or plain steel, so expect similar corrosion life. The Jeep kit adds a 2-year warranty; Walker states no warranty on this listing.
- Is the Jeep mid-pipe worth the extra cost?
- For a 2005-2010 Grand Cherokee, yes, because it fits without fabrication and includes hardware. For a custom system, the Walker pipe is the cheaper, more flexible part.
- What is the diameter difference?
- The Walker pipe steps from 2.25 inches at the inlet to 2.5 inches at the outlet. The Jeep kit uses 2.5-inch piping throughout.
