Did I just get played?? (Exhaust question)
I have a 2015 F150 3.5L Ecoboost. Two weeks ago I replaced my factory muffler with a Flowmaster 40 series(dual). That was a mistake and was way too loud. So I took it back to the shop and asked that my OEM muffler be reinstalled. However the shop said my muffler was gone (thrown away) but that he recommended the "dynomax ultra flo" which he said was very close to OEM,was quieter, and would work well with my turbo engine. So he took off the flowmaster mufflers nod replaced them. I just left the shop a few minutes ago. The exhaust sounds quiet and I'm happy with it. However when I got home I got under my truck and looked at the mufflers- and realized they were definitely not Dynomax . I found a part number(80037626) on the mufflers and confirmed they are "AP Exhaust 3762 Enforcer II. Needless to say I'm pretty pissed off about being lied to. I'll handle that tomorrow. But now I'm wondering if these $20 mufflers are bad for my truck. I can't find where they are compatible with my truck anywhere online. Looks like they are compatible with vehicles before 1999. Here's a link to the muffler(link below). Any advice or input about how these mufflers will interact with my engine and overall performance. Thanks!!

The AP are $27 mufflers, most DynoMax Ultra Flo go for about $70. I'd go back and demand what he said he'd install.

He sure didnt expect you to look under there and check it out lol----He just put the cheapest muffler he had, but if he told you Dynomax, I would def go back and get that installed.

I agree. If he charged you for Dynomax, then he should install Dynomax. If you're happy with what you have, then he should refund you for the difference. From what we can tell here on the forum, he sounds like he's blowing smoke up your tailpipe.

Am I the only one who is confused when he says "compatible" to my understanding a muffler is a muffler its just there to make the engine quieter and provide back pressure to the engine.

Next time just order up a stainless cat back and stay away from these muffler shops with there aluminized mild steel press bend piping..
I guarantee they chopped your factor muffler up to salvage the mandrel bends..
