    What would you do? NOS flow master muffler

    Weird situation here. I was sent a birthday gift of two flowmaster mufflers.
    I know the mufflers were purchased as new.
    when the package showed up today I immediately saw something was strange.
    I got one factory sealed box and one taped up old box. When I say old I’m taking about The box had a picture of a SN95 Mustang on it and the box didn’t say .COM on it anywhere! The muffler in the old box appears to have never been installed. It’s a 409 stainless grey case muffler with the old part number.
    what would you do? Would you install a mismatched set like this in your car or make the seller take it back and exchange it?

    I would want a matched set, whether both are the old style or both are the new style.
    Thanks to Darrin @ BC Automotive:
    $1800 and it was worse than when he started!

    That’s along my line of thinking. I wish they actually sent me two of the old ones.
    i wonder how the sound would be affected with one stainless and one aluminized steel.
    way different sound on the tap test.
