Hmmmm...direct from the manufacturer, yep thats a gimmick


I am sure theres fine print, but its probably something like using your car as a test bed. Instead of paying you for that, you get an exhaust.

No is not a gimmick.... That is for brand new cars or trucks on the market that they have yet designed an exhaust sys. for. Makes your car a guinnea pig. But the exhaust is free to you after they are done and have pulled a dyno on the car. Alot of companies do this.

As it was said above the free exhaust is payment for your cars downtime while you cant drive it but still make payments on it.
