Shopping for a replacement muffler. Add me to the list of avoiding magnaflow.
Even if your attitude sucked, this is blatant and repeated failure of their product.
They should be ashamed of themselves.

I actually have Magnaflow direct fit cat system for a few years now before reading this thread and after reading this I sure hope Magnaflow has subscribed to this thread and looked at the views, almost 30,000 for this thread in 4 years. I certainly will think twice before giving them my future business.
I did a quick Google search for "4runner magnaflow muffler", this thread comes up in the top three searches:

Yes they do. I have the cat back system and it is great. I think this is my third year with it and it's holding up very well.

I always just assumed that Magnaflow's target market was "young punks"!

Just to tack my experiences on to this one... I bought a 3" high flow cat from Magnaflow ~13 years ago for ~$150 but it came with a $50 mail in rebate.
Since then I've spent far more than $50 worth of my time arguing about the rebate.
I mailed it 6 months before the "must be postmarked by" date, included return address info, contact info, and a tracking number (USPS) that shows it was delivered.
It said wait up to 10 weeks. I waited 15. Contacted their customer service and they said they never received it, then they did receive it but it didn't have the receipt, then they received it with the receipt but by now the promotion was over... etc. Throughout the entire process, the customer service reps and managers were awful. I always had to pull info vs. them pushing it to me, etc etc. They never called when they said they'd call...
I've spent since then roughly $3000 on exhaust work across 22 different cars. And not once have I used another Magnaflow part. Nor will I ever again. That high flow cat failed and shat out its grid after a year of sitting behind a mild turbo build.
The Flowmaster cat I bought to replace it has been in place since and the car is still driven daily by my parents.
Sorry to thread jack.
