Wrecks to riches mufflers

[sirstude]

I watched the Mercury Marauder epesode of "wrecks to riches" the other night and the car sounded really good.  Did anyone catch what mufflers they put on the car?  The were not the tin can sound of Flowmasters.  Don
't beat me up for watching such a dumb show, but I was at least working in the garage while it was on.  Dont' see how some one that seems to not see anything wrong with the cars he brings in (rust) can make a buck in the car industry.  Anyone else notice they don't seem to add the labor into the total amount?

I have caught two of those shows. It still takes away from the enjoyment of the hobby when they are so much in a rush to get it done. that car did sound good, but I missed what the exhaust was too.

They way their price tally jumps up, I think they are counting labor.  That or they pay WAY TOO MUCH for parts.

I think they use salary costs and not shop hour cost to compute labor.

I think that's possible.  I've noticed the "spendometer" often jumps in increments $2,000-$3,000 greater than the paint products or parts they just described.  That could also describe all the "incidentals" from nuts & bolts to wiring harnesses that don't get described in the narration.

I was sent the link to Barry's new site http://supermusclecar.com/cars.html for anyone who is interested.  The description of the car says Flowmaster, but they did not sound that way.  When I looked up the parts suppliers it says MagnaFlow. Nice to see that one hand does not know what the other is doing.
