Exhaust
Exhaust Pipe
An exhaust pipe carries exhaust between components, from the manifold to the converter, the muffler and out through the tailpipe. We carry 30 exhaust pipes from $11 to $276 for 1955-2018 vehicles, from Walker, AP Exhaust, Flowmaster and Bosal, with fits for the Chevrolet Camaro and S10, Jeep Cherokee, Honda Civic and Ford F550 Super Duty.

When to replace a pipe
Exhaust pipes rust from the inside out because of the moisture in exhaust, especially on vehicles that make short trips. Signs include a louder exhaust note, a rattle or rumble underneath, visible rust holes or flaking, an exhaust smell in the cabin, and a pipe hanging low from a broken hanger. Exhaust leaks can let carbon monoxide into the cabin, so do not ignore a leak near the front of the vehicle.
Type and material
Listings include front pipes, down pipe back sections and tailpipes, with single side and dual rear exits. Position may be front, left or right. Aluminized steel resists rust better than plain steel at a lower price. Stainless steel lasts the longest. Most pipes here are direct fit or direct OE replacement, which means they follow the original bends and hanger points. Check whether gaskets, clamps or hangers come with the pipe.
Fitting the new pipe
Choose your year, make and model and check the fitment table for engine, wheelbase and cab or bed length on trucks. Let the exhaust cool fully and support the vehicle on jack stands. Soak bolts and clamps with penetrating oil, use new gaskets and clamps, and replace worn rubber hangers. Leave connections loose until everything is aligned, then tighten from front to back and check that nothing touches the body or fuel lines.
Exhaust Pipe questions
Is aluminized or stainless steel exhaust pipe better?
Stainless lasts longer, especially where roads are salted, but costs more. Aluminized steel is a good value choice with better rust resistance than plain steel.
Can I replace just one section of exhaust pipe?
Yes. Exhaust systems are made of sections joined by flanges or clamps, so you can replace only the damaged piece. Check the joints on each side, as they may need new gaskets or clamps.
Is an exhaust leak dangerous?
It can be. A leak, particularly near the front or under the cabin, can let carbon monoxide inside. If you smell exhaust in the cabin, have it repaired promptly.
