Default Anyone run the cheap 1 chamber ebay mufflers

I was just wondering because thay are a very good deal and i would assume thay are a direct copy of the flowmaster ones. Comments? Concerns?

My buddy tried them on his beater truck and the baffles on the inside came apart on them after 6 months making the muffler into a rattling noise maker... lol.

I think the sound you are going for can be achieved by a custom true dual setup with chambered mufflers like (sweet thunder or powersticks). Shouldn't cost all that much.

ya but california kicks my *** when it comes to emissions. I might just need to have a longtubes with h pipe and true duals with one chambers when i dont need to test, and then swap it all back to stock when i have to test.

I have them, Pacesetter's w/ an H pipe, true duals 2.5" and then just 1 chamber flowmasters right before the tips, sounds awesome. Had them for 3 months now and they are still in great shape, lots of compliments on tone.

If they are the same as the SpeedFX mufflers also sold on e-bay, they are identical to flowmasters. We have been selling them at my work for about 2.5 years now. I have a set on my silverado, monte carlo and both chevelles. The silverado has had them for 2 years now with no problems. When we bought the first one we cut it open to be sure they wern't too cheap to put our name on. IDENTICAL. Considering they cost us $17 versus $55 for a genuine flowmaster, almost every customer goes for the knock-offs. I have also seen them sold under the Force name??

well i have seen them as flow sound and flow monster. How do the ones you sell flow? I assume they flow very well since they are an exact copy of the flowmasters.
