Small problem with Roush exhaust.

Had my Roush axleback for about three months... The passanger muffler has developed a rather LARGE crack at the weld. I am currently working on getting it replaced under warrenty but so far haven't heard back from my retailer OR Roush..
Just a little FYI ...check your welds!

ulev1st,

If you don't get anywhere with the retailer you purchased it from let me know, I'm a Roush dealer and have a solid relationship with my rep at Roush I may be able to help.

Thanks Steve...right now I'm getting the "we will only warrenty the one muffler" from Roush...and the "I'm not sure but I think you'll have to send it to us and let us send it back to Roush then they will send us the replacement and we will ship it to you" from the retailer...leaving my car down for at least a couple of weeks...maybe longer. I contacted them last Thursday and haven't heard back yet from anybody!

Will check mine out in a bit but probably not much worry here in AZ.

Anyone considering the Roush Exhaust should check out the youtube link in my sig. Sounds amazing, IMO.

Drew...I don't think the weather has much to do with this...I'm in Memphis and we haven't had any bad weather in the time I've had my Boss...it never gets driven in the rain, it sits in the garage when not being driven and only has 1600 miles...I think this was just a defective weld. The condensation from the exhaust is what has cause the rust..not any outside elements.

Yea, I definitely think it's a defect. I've sold a ton of these for the current generation and have not seen or heard any feedback like this...

There so easy to change. Put the stock exhaust in untill you get a replacement. sounds like you have good people on your side wanting to help. This is rare. does pure speed motor sport have a web site. Sounds like a good vendor doing the right thing. Kudos to Pure Speed Motor sports

Boss man-

Thanks. Although we were NOT the retailer who sold these, we are a Roush dealer and an official TMS Supporting Vendor. With that being said, we are enthusiasts first and retailers second; if there is any way I can help that's what I am here for as a TMS sponsor.

It sounds like the ball is rolling and you can't fault Roush for wanting to inspect the muffler for quality control and R&D purposes. I would do what was recommended if possible - toss the stock mufflers back on until you get a replacement set.

Also, for anyone who is interested you can find us online @ www.PureSpeedMotorsports.com (we are growing rapidly and are in the process of switching to a better website design so bare with us).

In addition, you can reach me directly here at TMS with a PM or via email:

steve@purespeedmotorsports.com

I tend to respond quickly and am always willing to hook forum members up with as much of a discount as possible.

Best Regards,

Steve Johnson
Owner,
Pure Speed Motorsports

My roush axlebacks have the same exact problem, also on passenger side, however I have had no help from roush or the dealership I ordered them from roush and they told me to go to a dealer or fly a kite basically.

Did your passenger side develop a rattle also?

That's not good news. Did you pull yours off or get them repaired? I would think a local shop can easily fix the outside weld, but what about the inside?
