Checked my 4@ Series the other day and even with heavy rains, sleet, and ice they are still looking almost new. Strange that Flowmaster would hold out longer than Roush.. :shrug:

When someone drills weep holes in their Roush with no ill side effects, please post some details and images so others can follow your example.
Thanks,
Mike

Who's gonna be the guinea pig???!!! Lol
And just as a side note, if you make a hole and it happens again, Roush probably won't cover them under warranty.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd be up to being the guinea pig, but I might as well forget the warranty. However, the holes should solve this issue happening again.
I'll put both new and old side by side tomorrow and take pictures so we can see where they started to rust through. I'll post them up so we can come to an agreement where it should go and then go from there.

Yes, or else how would you know how they slope when mounted? lol
You could measure the cracked ones now and then drill the new ones off the car, or just install them and park the car over the curb and drill them on the car.

Just got a call from roush. I need to send pics and the original order receipt and if they verify there is a crack they will send replacements and I ship the old ones back when I receive the new ones =]

No. the rust comes from the inside out from water sitting inside the muffler and corroding the welds.
Your stock mufflers have weep holes, Borla recommends weep holes be drilled.
I will be drilling mine when I finally get mine replaced.

Grabber blue. Yours rusted thru as well?! Post pics if u can.
Mine are about to break thru if I press on them. I probably will, cause within a few weeks they will break thru on their own.
