Angry Yet another reason, I HATE FLOWMASTERS!!!!!

I still have one of these $hit mufflers on my 95 Tahoe, I have'nt got around to changing it yet.

OK! Here's why I am *****ing. My Tahoe suddenly stopped making horsepower. I feared the worst, started checking plugs ect. Everything looked great. Come to find out the Flowmaster was bad.
I had noticed that it sounded a little more pingy than usual, so I had my buddy rev the motor while I was under the truck. Sure enough from the muffler was PING PA PING PA PING.
The baffles insed the muffler had broken off and would rattle their way back to block the exhaust passage, cutting horsepower. Kinda like a bad CAT.
I could'nt figure this one out for a while, cause it would run good one day then like crap the next.
I am attaching a pic of the inside of the mufflers, so you all will understand a little easier.

The reason I posted this is ALOT of people on here run them and I wanted to give a heads up to everyone using them. Just incase their truck quits performing. Then you won't be chasing your tail for 2 wk's like I was. I HATE FLOWMASTERS!!!
The Tahoe will be equiped with a Magnaflow this weekend, just like my 68.

I didn't post to offend. Just posting bad experience to share with all my Brother's and sister's. That's what this board is for.
