Has anyone given these a try.

I just picked one up on Summit to replace the Flowmaster res on my car. The Flow master I got from AAP was single 3” inlet w/ 2.5” dual outlet …It has an arrow on the case pointing to show that’s how the flow should go…needless I needed 2.5” dual inlet to a single 3” outlet. So it was installed in reverse. Co-workers I trust at AAP said, it will work fine, no problems, install it. Well they were wrong. I should have stuck with my instincts that the flow direction was listed for practical purposes.
Also ever since it’s been installed the underside of my car has been SUPER HOT – this is because that restricted flow is basically making the resonator like an oven. Last night while driving something in it must have finally gave up for it sounds horrible, similar to an exhaust leak however there isn’t one present. Also I kept smelling something that reminded me of burnt breaks or metal – yeah that would be it.
Thinking more on it, this would be why on the HRPT when I parked my car, we all moved away from it for it was radiating heat. ...Good ole' hindsight.
Anywho, any reviews of this muffler or am I the first to give it a try?
