Default Real OR Fake?




Don't all Trust Mufflers come with Jasma approved weldings underneath it??
Also.. Trust dont sell mufflers on their own? only cat-back systems?

this is true. Only the Jasma certified exhausts have it.

that's not a real TRUST muffler. TRUST doesn't sell just mufflers except in RARE cases that the muffler is the only part on the car that needs replacing.

You can tell it's not real because of the placement of the logo, the hanging bracket, the welds, the material, and it probably costs a ****-ton less than it should.

yeah, just by looking at the differences, the quality doesn't even look half as nice as a real trust system, and i'm pretty sure that it's gonna be awfully hard to find just a trust muffler system instead of a full cat-back. doesn't seem to realistic to me.

if you look at the exhaust tip in the picture and the one in the box, they look totally different. And it appears the one in the picture extends out a little more than the one in the box. Looks like someone just took a blue and black sharpie and started marking the end of it.

HOLY CHIT! It does! There should more discoloration when the titanium tip was heat treated.
