Zip Muffler - Why so Cheap?

Shopping one muffler for my '81, A-Zone, O'Reilly and NAPA all want $150 or more. I ordered one from Zip for $57. Is there something wrong with the Zip muffler? (I won't see it for a week or two.)

Nothing wrong with mufflers from ZIP; they fit!! I have a pair each on my '68 and my '80.

$150 stock replacement muffler ? No thank you.
Anything I have purchased from ZIP was good quality and fit.

I have them on my wife's 82 with no problems. If I remember correctly they are made in Mexico, so that might explain the price. Nothing is made here now anyway!

I too have the Zip mufflers on both of my cars - sound great, fit perfect, no problems.
