Does this muffler look "used" ? I bought it from a company called Elite Race Fab (www.eliteracefab.com) and received it last night.
It has a lot of fingerprints on it, wasn't wrapped in bubble wrap like I see in a lot of other youtube videos of people installing, and the box doesn't have "MBRP" on it, just a generic box. And it seems to have a little sticky oil-type of stuff inside one end of the pipe.
I also noticed the flange wasn't "perfectly" straight. It seemed to have a very slight arc on both sides, is that normal???
I'm sure it's OK and I'm taking it tomorrow to a muffler shop to install and I'll have them check it out first.
Actually, right before I posted this, I watched a video from American Trucks and their new muffler looked like it was in the same shape as mine.
