Sold me a knock off flowmaster muffler for price of a real flowmaster. Exhaust broke in half 6 months later and not covered under warranty

Cars & Transport

Stopped by here about 6 months ago looking for a cat-back system for my truck. They were great to deal with at the time, i made the deal with the manager/owner of the place. We worked out a price that was just what i wanted to pay (about the same as the gibson cat back i was looking at buying online) I was choosing between a flowmaster muffler and the magnaflow... He told me they would be the same price. He also was selling the cheap generic flow-sound flowmaster knock off at a cheaper price. (they sell for $40 shipped on ebay btw and look identical) I told him i wanted the real flowmaster installed which was the same price as the magnaflow. I paid $230 for a single cat back system for my truck. It sounded great until the whole inlet of the muffler broke right off the muffler. I then realized that it wasn't even a flowmaster muffler at all but the generic knock off brand... Oh yeah they mounted it in the position where i couldn't see the flowmaster stamp until it fell off. I called them up and sent pictures of the broken muffler and they said there was nothing they can do since i moved out of state. I just wanted a replacement muffler sent to me or a partial refund, he also stated that they are identical mufflers... I looked for myself at a local shop and the steel is about half as thick... Flowmaster mufflers all have 3 year warranties and would have been covered if it was a real flowmaster!!! Thanks for the ripoff guys!!
