The muffler that bulged from the backfire was one of their mufflers but I think any muffler that was less well built would have ripped open at the seams. So I give them credit for having a well built part.
I've been completely happy with every transaction I've had with Gardner over the past few years. Yeah, the stuff can be expensive but it is the closest I've found to an NOS system. And the entire setup slips into place and fits perfectly without any hammering/bending/screaming/throwing things at the wall. Which is more than I can say for an NOS system if you could find the parts!
As for the muffler, they had no problem sending out a replacement, since it was replacing one of their mufflers, that I put on the car to begin with, when I bought the system a few years back.
I guess if you don't already have their system they might not sell you one.
