So much for my downpipe

I hit a raised manhole because there is construction all over my campus. I am thinking they could just cut a section out and weld in a new one. I don't know but I'm pissed. I have to raise my car some though and get some really stiff springs.

CRUNCH!!!!

Yep, you can probably get a muffler shop to weld in a new section for you. Going to be difficult on that curve, but it can be done.

Damn man, im sorry to see that. Make sure you didnt crack your manifold and make sure everything else looks ok up top. I know such a bump will put a bit of stress and strain on your exhaust manifold bolts as well. Im sure youll be able to get a new section welded on, good luck.

Re: So much for my downpipe (SilverLudeSi)

Hey that looks like a test pipe under your car. Is your car a daily driver? I'm debating whether to run a test pipe or a high flow cat.

Re: So much for my downpipe (_Shadow_)

Yeah, that's a test pipe and its my daily driver. Unless you are going to get hassled by the cops or something, there's no reason not to run a test pipe IMO.
