I asked this question in another forum, but I would like to ask it here also as there is a much larger member base here to draw from.
I came upon Rev9 CB-023 Ford Mustang 2015 and Up 2.3L EcoBoost Dual Cat-Back Exhaust on Amazon priced at $348. It is a stainless steel exhaust from tip to catback connect.
I have heard a couple of sound bites at idle and being raised from a stand still. Also found one under on road acceleration. But listening to sound bites are always questionable.
Now the sound ain't bad, matter of fact from what I heard it is better than ain't bad almost better than acceptably good.
The catch being that it reads "off road use". When I posted a question to the Amazon Community as to this designation I was told it was due to taxation...now I'm no tax attorney but if this exhaust is imported the "off road use" designation may in fact hold merit as to escaping some import taxation.
I don't see how this set up would be any different than if you were to go to your local muffler shop and have a catback exhaust designed, cut and installed on your Mustang...….but then?
If the "off road use" designation is in fact an import tax loophole, where does the tax liability end? Is it with the manufacturer, the importer, the retailer or the end user?
Finally coming to an end here, would you run this exhaust on your daily driver Ecoboost Mustang?
If you are wondering if anywhere on the exhaust itself it is labeled "Off Road Only" I don't know. I have asked, but have failed to get an answer.
WOW, all of these questions and I didn't even bring up as to if this would effect any warranty claims in the future.
