love the braaaap
As Jeezus said, those are the only mufflers what will withstand the heat over a long period of time, and we still don't know how long Magnaflow and Borla will last as nobody has had them long enough. I think its about 4 years now that the first maganflow was used, and AFAIK its still in service. There are 1 or 2 others that will handle the heat, such as Rotaflow (I believe thats the name) or bike mufflers. Rotaflow is out of Austrailia though and good luck getting one.

Its not only the backfires that kill them, its also the extreme heat of the gases under normal conditions. A rotaries exhaust gasses can reach 1200* or more.

I don't know what kinda packing Greddy uses in their mufflers, but I would be willing to bet that its fibreglass, in which case its no better than a cherry bomb.

What is it about the consruction of some mufflers that make them explode under the heat? There's always $50 no-name mufflers available in my area, but I'm worried about them exploding and sending burning shrapnel into the schools as I fly through crosswalks at 90mph backwards.

I've thought about buying it so many times it's crazy.

The only real tried and proven muffler that has shown to last for a very long time that is readily available to us is either The RB prima flow or the stock muffler.
Glasspacks are fiberglass packed and are crap.
The rest of the mufflers that all are trying have not been around long enough to really know the longevity of them.
I wish I could get this much response from everyone when someone posts a real diagnostic question. :-)
