That is stupid if you ask me! Why not send you a new set first? Roush makes lots of money for them to be nickle and diming customers. They should send a new set and once they get the old set and test is determine if they should charge you.

I asked the guy what if I didn't have the stock mufflers, and his response "it will only be a week or so without the roushes on there"
I said and my car is a daily, so that's unacceptable to have no mufflers.
They were not going to budge though.

Well....this is the response from Roush:
"Thanks for contacting ROUSH Performance.
The first step is to take your vehicle to a authorized ROUSH/Ford dealership. They will contact our warranty department.
Thank You, ROUSH Performance Products Customer Service 39555 Schoolcraft Rd. Plymouth, MI 48170 Phone: 800-59-ROUSH"
Looks like it's time to call Stage 3 back again. I'm starting to get the feeling I'll be getting the run-around...

Update:
This is from Bill Lindsay @ Stage 3:
"Give us a call on Jan 2 (when we re-open) and we will get you a new one. "
Looks like Stage 3 is stepping up. I'll post back on the 2nd and let everyone know what happens.

Maybe time to try the Boss H Pipe with your stockers. The GT500's are decently loud with the resonators removed. I want going to try the Boss H with my GT500's and hopefully meet in the middle sound wise.

I've seen this issue pop up a few times
Will definitely check mine out after a few hundred miles
The first guy running Flowmaster Outlaws had the same issue with his Roush which is why he switched

Mine are brand new and I hope I don't run into this issue, because I love them.
We have no snow down here, but it does rain quite often and is very humid. I thought these were stainless?

Hopefully you'll be ok. I'm thinking there may have been a quality control issue with the older ones, which hopefully explains the huge price increase. They claim to be stainless, but from my experience it doesn't appear to be...stainless shouldn't rust. If I were you, I'd clean them up real good and get a good polish on them to hopefully avoid the issues I'm experiencing.

I love mine too and I've probably encouraged a few folks to buy a set too....this is why I'm so upset about this.

Same issue here I brought my car in today for the Boss Quad exhaust install. I told them while they had it up on the lift to check the welds on the mufflers . They told me and later saw for myself that the weld closest to the front of the car on both mufflers were rusted and leaking water. How disappointing..... what is the FRPP equivalent to the Roush? Is it the sport exhaust? Bye Bye Roush never ever again!
