i have test pipes on my car. if i go to the dealership asking for a new muffler will they give me one or will they try to use my test pipes as a way to get out of giving me a new one?

OK guys... *UPDATE* time: On my 3rd replacement muffler right now, noticed that the dealer gave me a muffler with a bent tip.
(Left tip is slightly pointing down and at an angle, not flush with bumper like the right tip is)
Solution: Order ANOTHER new muffler. That's right, my 4th replacement muffler.
Dealer called today, got the new muffler in. Guess what... part # is slightly different!!!!!! I was like, SEE i told you so.
And they called me crazy when i told them there was apparently a new build as of Feb 2008.
Old Part #: 20100-JL01A
New Part #: 200100-JL01B
Hopefully will be getting this replaced on Wednesday. Will confirm part # and post sound clips after that day.

Sweet!! Maybe mine will crap out again soon and I'll get the "newer" version. Well unless I end up with some aftermarket one before it croaks. It's just so hard to pick one though!!
