No...because Flowmaster farms out their production to about 10 different manufacturers, the BS about Flowmaster making all of their own mufflers is a bunch of crap advertising

According to flowmaster.com under their FAQ page ALL flowmaster mufflers will have flowmaster stamped onto them or it is a fake. It's only on one side so be sure to check both sides. Feel or take a pic of the top.

Yep, and Ive owned several. Sounds like your buddy got a fake, and the shop is trying to maximize profit.
