My muffler certainly doesnt look galvanized. Maybe a difference between 
US and Euro market? Or maybe mine isnt a Walker after all? As I 
mentioned in the reply to Jim's mail there are no definite stamping on 
it, just a "MADE IN W GERMANY" stamping on the heat shield.

Here is my obligatory muffler pictures, as you can see it is the same 
type as the one Everett posted earlier. No, the tail pipe is not 
original, it is just a generic 2" 90¼ bend for weld-it-yourself systems. 
Looks a bit darker :-)

Muffler seen from the top. The bracket for the tail pipe broke of, 
that's why I jerry rigged it.

Here you can (hopefully) see the stamping

Bottom side of muffler, there is rust in the outer corners, with a hole 
on the left side.

And with the mentioned of galvanized, other Walker mufflers I've 
experienced arent galvanized either. They usually rust from the inside 
out. It looks like they are only covered with zink (sp?) paint.
