My 1994 non-turbo 850 wagon is in need of a replacement exhaust system, at least the muffler and pipes. The converter is fine (so far). Cannot seem to locate a source for a wagon version. Does anyone know of a reliable vendor with whom I can purchase the part(s), ideally from a North American source for eventual use in Canada? Thanks in advance for any direction or recommendations.
Here's what I'm dealing with:

I don't see any good evidence that wagon and sedan are different but then it's not my money. I see Walker has two versions and then it looks like Ansa VL7707 is worth a look. The Starla brand version at fcp fits both.
Where I live, you also could let a local (not a chain) muffler shop build you one. Might be a good way to go, but probably not cheaper than the walker.
Thanks, Firebird, but it turns out there is a difference between the wagon and the sedan, that being the positioning of the gas tank on the wagon requiring a different outlet pipe to the tail. My much-tested and hugely respected mechanics locally tell me this is an issue and that Walker no longer has one nor will be providing one in the future. I did see an Ansa but have been warned that particular online vendor might not be quite reliable in sending the right thing plus offer no voice communication/assistance to give me the best chance to purchase the correct solution, sadly. As I have to deal with border customs, various special taxes, the same reciprocal potential barriers if a return is required, etc., moves me to seek a more qualified solution. Hence my reaching out via the Forums. I am also trying the local custom fabrication channel but my mechs don't think the remaining metal on the muffler or the inflow pipe can warrant that approach. I'm stymied and frustrated as I'm slowly restoring this otherwise wonderful wagon.
Thanks again for responding!
