Muffler mfs? Marketing techniques

You know, after trying to figure out what system/sound I would like, I conclude that these mfg's lack effective marketing. Sound clips just aren't realistic enough for me to evaluate properly. They need face time at muffler shops and the like. Auto parts stores especially. Can you imagine going to Advance and being able to hear exactly what it would sound like? I bet they would take away significant sales from people looking to replace OEM mufflers, not to mention walk-in buisness addition. Wish I were marketing these mufflers!

Would cost them a fortune to do that.

You could buy a bunch of mufflers and pop them on lol.

Some exhaust shops usually keep try out mufflers in stock. You could just trust what to expect like most of us do, or be adventurous and try new stuff. I try new with all of my exhausts. The Super 44s with my old truck, the 11" bodies for my F150, probably the Borlas that will go on my future 2010 F150

A marketing expense that would pay off handsomly in my opinion; In novelty interest alone! Otherwise, like me, it's just a leap of faith. Unless of course you know someone with it on their truck, which we all have to reach out in cyberspace to find.

Youtube needs more people like me, that know how to direct and how to actually rev good and use a quality camcorder ****y sounding I know, but its true. How many times have you looked for a video and found what you wanted but it turned out to be a scratchy digital camera video or choppy cell phone video?
