I purchased this and used it once, but ultimately I mostly kept it in the box and didn't use it. There is some fuzzing. The red fibers attached to the muffler were there when I received it from the previous owner. I think they're probably fibers from clothing or something. I used it as is, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. There are stains, and some threads are loose on the label. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and then double-bag it for shipping. It will be a simple packaging.
