    Order new stock of Flowmaster mufflers and was so disappointed that they are now made in China. They were so proud to display made in USA and now small made in China on box. Being a retired Veteran I will be changing to a Muffler made in the USA. I feel a company that has a pattern on product in USA and move out of the country should loose those patterned protection from the USA. What are your thoughts?

    Welcome to TW Roger
    Is steel even made in the USA?
    I Believe we only export raw materials and import finished products.
    Something to do with clean air and water started back in the 70s.
    Edit: Thank you for your service

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I mean, I drive Japanese vehicles... And the last USA made Flowmaster I had fell apart in short order. Maybe the quality will improve, they don't sound that great on anything but a V8 anyhow, I wouldn't buy one again.
