Mazda replaced my muffler today for the 2003.5. I thought from what everyone else said that they were out. I went home and when i look at it close it looks as if they took one that had previously cracked and grinded it down and smoothed it out. Its someone elses "fixed" muffler. I was like wtf. Oh well guess i can't say to much it looks new but i know they've smoothed out the inside of it. The outside on the weld at the bottom had some carbon as did the one that They took off mine. I saw carbon inside the muffler when i got in the car right after they did it. It was pretty much coated accept at the very tip where it was sanded and you can tell they cleaned up the muffler. I was kinda disappointed not to get the other muffler. But people with cracked tips you're problably gonna get the same shit I did in the future. Or maybe I was just unlucky.

the muffler has a gouge in it where it was over sanded in a spot? Looks like someone elses muffler. So they are replacing the mufflers with Refurbished ones? I wanted the aftermarket mazdaspeed muffler :(. I was like man I didn't get something for nothing haha. I can't complain but if they gave me the same muffler over i'd still rather have one that is actually NEW or Fixed like new. This one isn't bad enough i want to complain but its not NEW.
