So for the last couple days I have had some sort of rattling coming from the exhaust....Found out what it was. One of the POS flowmasters have come apart on the inside...AGAIN! These were just warrantied a few months ago due to the same thing. Are they that crappy made????

Bet the next mufflers I get will not say Flowmaster.

Interesting, never heard of a muffler doing that before. I have had no problems with my magnaflow's or my steeda's if that gives you somewhere to go.

Bassani sounds great. You're catless, right? It'll sound great and be loud to boot.

Yup.No cats. I cant decide if I want loud...or to find a quiet set-up.

I wouldnt mind seeing what some Borlas sound like. But damn there expensive!

Its one of them "just my luck things"
90% of this town that has exhaust runs flowmasters. Out of the 90%, Ill be the 1% that has problems.

I talked with our local exhaust guy. He says the welds have been known to break on the baffles over time...but a few months??:scratch: Said he would warranty them..AGAIN...until I got new ones. So i dont have to live with the rattle.
