I bought this muffler for my 2004 Scion xB and it was a direct replacement for a rusty factory muffler. Everything fit perfectly. When I received it the box was damaged and 75% open. It was sealed with just a piece of packing tape that was almost completely torn. The silencer also had a dent. Not that it really matters because no one will ever see it. The silencer works well so I can't complain about the price. My only real complaint is that the exhaust tip isn't long enough and doesn't protrude past the bumper at all. It's about 4 inches long so exhaust fumes could potentially get under the car.
