Default Driveway to low and GReddy went smash!!

I know with all of the people with aftermarket exhausts on here have one time or another scraped it or banged it up a little. Tonight I was turning around in this driveway which didn't seem to be to steep. But it was a little steeper than I expected I guess because I hear this scraping metal sound! My damn exhaust!! I pulled right back up and went out at an angle, but Im worried that I F#$%@^ something up! Its dark so I have to wait until tomorrow to check it out! Having a bad night!!!

Don't worry...I'm sure it's not too bad. If you didn't see anything at night-time then there probably isn't any major damage. Mine has dents, scrapes and scratches all over it and is still going strong. I Greddy

I checked it out today and it seems to be fine. Just sounded a lot worse than it really was I guess. Guess it can take a little bumping and scraping everynow and then. I was just mad that I thought I actually could make it down somethig that steep!!! doh!

That's nothing! A couple weeks ago we had a big snowstorm and my smart *** went out to get a haircut on unplowed roads. So I'm driving back home on a small, two lane, curvy road. My tires slipped in the middle of a turn and the right half of my car went off the road onto lower level ground. So my car is slanted and I'm sliding for a good 5 seconds while I hear my exhaust scraping loud as hell on the edge of the street. Fortunately my Thermal was all good, just had scratches all over it. But maaaan, I was about to cry.

Hey Brad, my Greddy is just fine. Like I told you lastnight, I'm sure there is nothing wrong with it.
