Exclamation How many times have you had your OEM muffler replaced???

Wanted to get an idea of how many OEM mufflers we've all gone through

Don't include aftermarket in the count, just ur OEM. I'm on my 5th muffler including the one that came with the car!

According to Kahboom, even the new build muffler with the new part # has the rattle. I've had it on my car for a few weeks, so lets see....

My vote is not entirely correct, I haven't replaced my muffler yet, but it does rattle.

the last time i had it replaced santa monica service said they weren't going to replace it, but call the regonial infiniti service rep to come take a look, he came and replaced the muffler and made notes..... that was 3 weeks ago, the rattle is starting again.......... I might hold out until the new Z comes out then lemon this car.

I'm now on my 5th one and Infiniti is keepig track of how things are goign with this one to see if ther eare any issues in the near future.

This new one sounds a little more different than the most recent one prior to this one although they both hav ethe same updated part number. If feels like there is a little more low RPM backpressure from the newest install as well...

Here's hoping for the best ... we'll see
