Thread: Did I just get Ripped off?

Doesn't really look like a used muffler, usually they acquire a few dings and such in them which it doesn't have. Most exhaust shops I've seen paint the welds and joins afterwards. For the price probably about what you'd expect for parts and labour. Can't be judged on noise - the turbo is still in the exhaust which is itself a restriction. You may find that the previous muffler wasn't very restrictive anyhow.

Looks very sus to me as said use a magnet on the muffler I couldn't see a weld point on the rear part of the muffler and it's no easy to weld new stainless to old mild steel. If it was me id have it checked by a machinic or the people doing the performance upgrade if they say that you haven't got what you paid for then confront them be prepared to go to fair trade. Best of luck.
