Expert Advice Needed (Exhaust)

Hi,

I wanted to get these parts installed at a local shop. I purchased them from an online retailer. I own a 2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1. My question is, do tailpipes usually come in this condition? It was not advertised as used, but they look used. Thank you

Thats about the way mine looked when I got my 04 mach 1 in 2008 with 40k miles on it. Reason I know is I had the stock catback replaced with Flowmaster Super 44's.

The scuffs on the mufflers look like they would rubbing on underside of car. Then the discoloration on the bends look to be from heat.
Same with the rears mounts that slide through the rubber exhaust holders, looking as if a lot of friction was happening there.

Then again I could be wrong, Ive never bought stock replacements on any of mine.
