I have read that there are failed mufflers all over the country from “backyard hackers” which causes melted bumper and fire to the car is that true?
– Since 1998 the only returns from dissatisfied customers have been because the muffler was not loud enough. Recently I have discovered that there are other individuals around the country who tried to modify stock mufflers to achieve the same result as the RSR muffler, but without any luck. Most of these modification were done with a MIG welder, which will not produce good quality welding with stainless material. Below is a picture that shows the difference in welding. (The below picture is a modified stock muffler done by someone else which I had to turn into a RSR muffler). All the welding for the RSR muffler is done on a TIG (Heliarc) welder, which is the only correct method to weld stainless steel, the results is self evident.
