After a few days of reading glowing reviews of the Carven progressive, I decided it was the muffler for me and I bought one. FedEx dropped it off last night and I made an appointment for today to have it installed. 2017 stock muffler hardware is apparently tack welded in place and I wasn't about to mess with that.
Anyway, they get my muffler off and ask me to come take a look at the situation. They showed me how the Carven muffler is too short and there are no flanges for the pipes to fit inside on either side. I said that's normal and they have to use the sleeves to install it.
Well guess what Carven didn't include with my muffler?...that's right, the sleeves. So today I got to spend $50 to have a shop take my stock muffler off and put it right back on...
I called Carven, but apparently nobody is working today or they just don't feel like returning phone calls.
