Another reason I always highly recomend the Fabspeed Maxflo mufflers. I put well over 30,000 miles and 35 track days on a set and they were still going strong when I sold my car. I bet they will last hundreds of thousands of miles and hundreds of track days.

Poseur,
Nice photo. Do you think I could I could find that break you showed by getting under the car with a floor jack?
Thx.

Just in case anyone's curious, the problem turned out to be the same issue as last time -- the "sport on/off" valve inside the driver's side resonator broke and was causing the noise. OPC replaced exhaust under warranty and I got the car back on Friday.

Start the countdown for this one failing.

My PSE is shot as well. It started a a buzz/rattle that went away when the car warmed up. Now it's always there. Sounds horrible. Had the dealer take a look - the right muffler has a bracket that is cracked. The left muffler has something broken inside.

PSE hacked to be loud full time. 36K miles.

CPO *does not* cover muffler replacement. I never bothered to get the buzz fixed during the original warranty period as I assumed that they were normal and would be covered in any case.

Filed a claim with PCNA to see if they will cover the replacement.

PCNA just called and told me to pound salt. Not a happy camper.
