Westin Muffler Skid Plate

 

Westin Muffler Skid Plate gives customers a focused way to help protect an exposed exhaust component from rocks, debris, ruts, trail obstacles, and rough-road contact. The muffler can sit in a vulnerable underbody location, especially on vehicles used for off-road driving, overlanding routes, jobsite access, winter travel, and uneven backroads, so a dedicated skid plate helps place durable coverage where impact protection matters.

This skid plate is built for customers who want practical exhaust-system protection without turning the vehicle into a full armor build. Its focused design mounts directly over the muffler area, helping shield the component from dents, scrapes, and impact damage that can happen when the underside of the vehicle contacts rocks, ledges, curbs, snow, or hard-packed debris.

The heavy-duty 7-gauge steel construction gives the skid plate the strength needed for rugged driving conditions. A textured black powdercoat finish helps resist corrosion from mud, moisture, road spray, snow, gravel, and changing weather while giving the underside of the vehicle a clean, finished appearance that pairs well with other underbody protection upgrades.

Because the muffler is part of the exhaust system, protecting it can help customers reduce the chance of damage that may affect noise, clearance, or exhaust-system condition over time. This makes the skid plate useful for daily drivers that see rough roads as well as trail-driven builds that regularly encounter rocks, ruts, stumps, and uneven surfaces.

The bolt-on installation design helps keep the upgrade straightforward for compatible applications. Mounting hardware is included, and no drilling is required on confirmed applications, helping customers add meaningful underbody protection without unnecessary cutting, welding, or fabrication.

This skid plate also works well as part of a staged armor setup. Customers can protect the muffler area first, then add additional skid plates over time as the vehicle becomes more trail-focused, making it a smart upgrade for weekend adventure vehicles, daily-driven Jeeps, and rough-road builds alike.

Whether customers are upgrading for exhaust protection, off-road durability, overlanding confidence, winter travel, jobsite use, or everyday peace of mind underneath the vehicle, the Westin Muffler Skid Plate delivers reliable muffler-area coverage. Now Available at LEER!
